[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 4131920, member: 13107"] So ... You make your way across a battlefield. A dozen ragged soldiers, leaderless, have survived and are making their way slowly through the many bodies. They see you, and begin running in your direction. (A dozen soldiers; no controller, but mixed roles.) While fighting the soldiers ... A charnal miasma wafts across the battlefield; slowly, first one or two, but soon dozens of zombies rise from the newly fallen. Together with the soldiers whom you were fighting just moments before, you form up to face the newly risen horrors. (Groups of 1 to 20 zombies; still no controllers.) Later ... You make your way across the battlefield with the few soldiers who survived the battle and the endless undead. To your horror, the miasma thickens and eats away at the flesh of the fallen. Those which did not rise before arise now as skeletons; faster, and with a feral hostility. You gird yourself for yet another battle. (Groups of 1 to 10 skeletons. Maybe a controller in the mix.) Later ... At the far end of the battlefield sits a lonely pavilion; the foul miasma is thickest there. A cluster of undead, zombies, skeletons, and other creatures are gathered near the pavilion, and you hear a low droning from the tent. (A dozen zombies, a dozen skeletons, a pair of ghouls, a high level skeleton lord, and a necromancer. The ghouls are controllers. The skeleton lord and necromancer are the elites/solos.) .... Do marks cause a problem for any of these enounters? [/QUOTE]
