Monk's Challenge

[Eccles]

I've got a session coming up on friday where the party's going back to the Monk's Monastery.

Unfortunately, they've all got to go through the challenge (now infested by undead) to reach the monastery.

Basically, this is an army style assault course for 1st and 2nd level monks to train and be very challenged on. I expect the party's 6th level monk to absolutely breeze past them all, whilst the rest of the party has to fight and struggle to climb walls, swim moats, tumble past nasty spikes, balance on things, etc.

Basically, I need those of you who've seen any good kung-fu movies recently to recommend to me any training scenarios for me. They need to keep moving, so long stationary moments aren't possible.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

(And I'm away tomorrow, so won't be able to say good things until at least thursday, I'm afraid)

How about an acrobatics area? Tumbling, jumping, balance, climb, etc. It could either be an underground area with lots of pillars, ledges and wires, or an outdoor area with trees, mesas, etc. Possibly even the only way into the monastery.

The catch- originally, the monks just used to time students who went through. Now, the PC's aren't going to have a time limit like that. But they are trying to dodge the undead spirits there who, being both flying and incorporeal, are far more mobile than they are. (I wouldn't go with level drainers, though, unless you're out to get your PCs for some reason...)
