[QUOTE="Tumbler, post: 1506114, member: 18498"] Ok, the portal will still be open. This will be draining all of the ogre mage's magical energy so he will be powerless to really stop his imprisonment. I'm going to give the scorpions sort of a hive mentality. I know wasps have this weird thing where the ones who have been out gathering food won't sting you if you attack the nest because their imperative is to return to the nest, only the ones coming out of the nest will sting. I'll use this to freak the players out early by having several scorpions run past them to get into the keep while others run out to attack. They will have created an extensive warren underground. I may make the whole area fluctuate between planes, with the possiblity of stranding the party on the plane of earth for a while. Once inside, they will have to fight through layers of soldiers and traps leading to a scorpion harem full of pregnant females. I guess I'm pretty much ignoring any resemblance to real scorpion behavior here. [/QUOTE]
