[QUOTE="Ilium, post: 3727401, member: 40124"] This is great stuff everybody, thanks! The Dream Arena plot line starts tomorrow. I'm going to have the PCs all "wake up" in an impenetrable fog on sandy ground. The real arena is in a city on an island and the dream arena reflects this, so with the sand, fog, smell of the sea and maybe a gull cry in the distance, they should assume they're on a beach. But then they'll hear the announcer's voice, the murmur of the crowd, and the fog will lift to show their opponents for the day. :) First fight will be a bunch of orcs led by the frenzied berserker Dyx linked to (thanks). I'll be incorporating as many suggestions from everyone I can, including Taferial's ideas about letting the crowd influence things. That should get the bard involved (when his player shows up for the next session). Oryan, I love that idea of the race against the big monster while bad guys try to skewer the racers. Could encourage the old "I don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than you" mentality. :) [I]Edit: I'll let everybody know how it went next week. Wish me luck![/I] [/QUOTE]
