I presented one as an old lady in hut in the forest, which sets up the encounter to be creepy--the players expect it. She was tending to the adventurers serving them soup next to the fire when she in an off-hand way said, "now you dears just sit tight while I get my strangling cords." And away she went as the players were left wondering what she meant. She reappeared from the shadows soon after, snatching one of the party with her strangling cords, and teleporting off with her quarry into the forest. Now the party is split, the snatched member has to deal with her alone, and the rest of the party have to find the pair by the sounds of their combat.I got at least two rounds of pure terror out of that encounter. And the meazel escaped into the shadows to haunt the party in their fears.</blockquote>
