[QUOTE="(un)reason, post: 9438034, member: 27780"] Well, that didn't go too badly. 7 people applied, 4 of which showed up for the first session plus one who said they'd double booked but would be there next week. It was a decidedly motley crew. A duthka'gith spellthief who is nominally in charge, but currently very fragile due to the ECL modifier, so they badly need protecting by the others. A priestess of Loviatar specialising in bloodwhip shenanigans. A permanently enlarged orc who has levels in 5 different classes already. And a mongrelfolk chameleon pretending to be a baby red dragon. They were just one of the many advance teams assembled by the lich-queen to gather information and secure the resources of Pharagos in preparation for the big invasion. As usual, I didn't get as much chance to prepare as I'd like, but since this was regular D&D it didn't matter as much as the other minigames, as I could select a dozen adventures from Dungeon that looked like they wouldn't be ruined by the PC's slaughtering "friendly" NPC's, put them on a rough map and let the players pick which one they wanted from the sandbox with clues based on the type of magical energy most prevalent in the adventure. They voted for Enchantment. Since they might be reading this and only got about halfway through the adventure I won't spoil what adventure that is, but their odd combination of powers has made short work of the challenges so far.
