[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8418877, member: 29398"] [B]Ghosts of the Heceta Head[/B] by Lordi. Heceta Head is a real place a few hundred miles south of here on the Oregon coast. A story goes that the lighthouse there is haunted, and the Lordi song tells of the lighthouse's original ghost being driven out by a bunch of other, nastier ghosts. Instant adventure hook! I place a similar lighthouse in my setting, its original ghost appears before the party and pleads for help, and the party (one hopes!) go and clear out the place. When I ran this in my current campaign it was the start of a four-adventure series dealing with Poseidon's Damned (the hostile ghosts first met at the lighthouse), the third of which stole its title and a few ideas from the song [B]Key to the Seven Winds[/B] by Nocturnal Rites. I've long wanted to build an adventure around [B]Sacred Heart[/B] by Dio but have yet to do so. I was rather tickled to, in days past, legitimately be able to run [B]Stairway to Heaven[/B] and [B]Highway to Hel [/B]in the same campaign, though neither had any real further connection to the songs beyond the title. (and yes, Hel intentionally only has one 'L' here; the mission was to go and deal with the goddess Hel to try to retrieve a soul she'd stolen. It didn't go well.) All these adventures are/were homebrew, if it matters. [/QUOTE]
