[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5702746, member: 6669384"] Well, it's that time of year again. In our campaign we share the DM duties, passing the DM's hat around the table as sub-adventures come to a close. That's what just happened, and now the hat passes to me. We aren't playing next week due to schedule conflicts, which means that I have two weeks to prepare a quick, two-session adventure on a Halloween theme. Our party is a far-from-optimal 9th/10th level group, so I don't want to overwhelm them. Neither do I want a cake walk. We have... Half Elf Ranger 5/Druid 5 Human Wizard5/Cleric5 (w Practiced Spellcaster twice) Human Monk 9 or 10 Cleric4/Fighter5 Rogue3/Duskblade 6 Siberian Tiger (Animal companion of Druid, and probably the best fighter in the party). Last year I ran a backwards Werewolf story, where young Bela the Gypsy was the werewolf, and he was the victim of the dark deeds who needed rescuing. I've also done the old mansion on the cliffs overlooking the stormy sea, with the reading of the will at midnight, the abrupt murder of the family member, and in the end the butler did it. While we're pretty well stocked in healing, actual clerical power to deal with undead is very light, and sad to say my Bard 10 is the most potent spellcaster we have. (Like I said, we're far from optimized.) So I'm thinking creepy horror more than direct assault, leading them to the big-bad at the end. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
