[QUOTE="aco175, post: 5176052, member: 27385"] I could see this working more as a location in a campaign. This location could span many levels though. An ancient castle located in a chasm in the mountains where partols of undead are sent forth to the neighboring lands to gather creatures. They could also gather things like orcs and trolls to harvest- which could explain things if your party has odd creatures in it. Low level partys can encounter these patrols and others who may have heard of them. Investigate locations where the intelligent undead in power are seeking artifacts of a bygone age to assemble the unltmate weapon, or some sort of protection for them. By the time the party is mid level they can start to gather allies from other towns or make forays into the mountains to outposts and begin to see the workings of the harvest. One of the 'Blade' movies had a room where humans were in shrinkwrap with blood dripping into containers. They were hanging from hooks like slabs of meat in the 'Rocky' movies. It gives good description of the horror and mind of the evil behind the schemes. Higher levels can have the party assault the main base of evil. Some of the surrounding town/ barons have pacts with the BBEG and need to be overcome, esp. if the baron's men keep tipping off the evil of where the party is . Side quests can include finding a lost item that could aid in the destruction of the castle. Going to the shadowplane and destroying the keep there which would allow you to finally destroy the evil here. [/QUOTE]
