Message: <blockquote data-quote="spider_minion" data-source="post: 2702735" data-attributes="member: 16096">Got one yesterday!In my quasi-D&D homebrew, the PCs were investigating a series of strange killings (people found dead and headless), and at night they spread themselves out to scope out a number of potential targets.  The party wizard, Saul, and an NPC specializing in information heard a shriek form a nearby building and ran to investigate, seeing the hulking headhunter monster walk out of a home and into an alley.  Saul notified the other party members with a spell, and then ran down the ally with the NPC.  They turned the corner, and then saw the monster opening a manhole.  Saul let loose with a chaos beam, but missed the creature.  He told the NPC to run, but she couldn't leave him to die.  The creature attacked Saul with its claw and cleaver hand and hurt him severely.  Saul put all the energy he could into one final spell, but the creature made its save and took surprisingly little damage.  Saul drops deep into the negatives.Meanwhile, the other PCs and a few NPCs are running to where Saul told them the creature was.  The ran down the dark ally, looking for it or their friends.  Suddenly they notice two humanoid forms on the ground in a pool of blood.  They run closer, and see the NPC hurt badly with a serious stab wound.  Then the notice Saul's freshly decapitated corpse next to her, and the discarded head of the creature's last victim there as well . . .And that's where I ended the session.   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
