[QUOTE="Swarmkeeper, post: 8210432, member: 6921763"] I ran the Lake Zarovich kidnapping plot hook last night except I flipped it around quite a bit: Arabelle went willingly on the boat b/c she was bragging about catching a bigger fish than Bluto ever could to the urchins of Vallaki. She's a bit of a tough one and the town kids admire her gusto. Bluto gladly brought her along for good luck. In any case, while out on the boat she ends up knocking out Bluto (who in this version was a halfling) because he was hogging the best fishing pole and had injured a raven to presumably use for bait. She ends up caring for the bird and fishing happily by herself. As the party (three level 2 PCs and two level 2 PCs) approached in their rowboats, through the lightly obscuring fog, they could spy a taller figure fishing and then a smaller figure getting up from being prone. The two start struggling for control of the fishing pole, the raven squawking all the while. The larger figure pushes the smaller one overboard and continues fishing calmly. When the party's two rowboats come within reach, they meet Arabelle, confidently fishing away. The PCs actually get annoyed with her since she has caused such a big kerfuffle and has half her camp out and about looking for her (and caused one member of the camp to take some awful punishment for losing track of her). Bluto pops his head above water and says he's been attacked - to which Arabelle sneers. Then he is dragged under and blood bubbles up as tentacles burst above the surface threatening to capsize the boats. Turned into a nice chase scene with the boats both getting capsized, the party losing 100' of hempen rope, but ultimately with the PCs making it back to shore. Then a battle ensues on shore with nasty giant wolf spiders and some Strahd Zombies. Three of the Five PCs nearly perished. At the end of the night, they were very eager to return Arabelle, who they blamed for all their troubles, back to her father and get her out of their sight! [/QUOTE]
