Hi. I need a little help. :-D Me and my new group have had one session so far, and I can see that they are going to be a great group (I've been friends with them since I met them years back, so I had a general idea that they would rock, but yeah...). Anyways, here's the idea that I've come up with. Just thought I'd bounce it off of you guys to see how you like it.
The party is hired by the local museum (again) to go to an abandoned barracks/training facility to retreive a magical item rumored to be there (I haven't decided on one yet, but it doesn't really matter what it is because it won't be there). The party will travel to the barracks, arriving at dusk and work their way through. There are not any living things inside, though they are going to be attacked by a few wolves as they are walking up to the front door. As they make their way through the building, they notice a large amount of dead bodies lying in various locations. When they reach the armory where the item was said to be kept, the door slams shut behind them and the dead body of a large man that was in the room begins to stir. Within a few round it is upright and begins attacking the party. When the party has defeated it, they find a crowbar under a pile of rags and can use it to open the door. All of the dead bodies have risen and attempt to destroy the party. If the party makes it through and reach the front door, they are stopped by a werwolf in half-wolf form. He introduces himself as working for Lord Condract of Berliyt, a death knight. It turns out that the previous adventure in which the party was hired by the museum owner was a test to see if they had enough potential to be worth recruiting (you can read about it here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=148692 ). Lord Condract would like for them to join his league of Werewolves and work for him. If the party refuses (which they probably will), the werewolf will attack them. It won't kill them if it is winning the fight, choosing rather to let them feel Lord Condract's wrath at a later point.
This will hopefully lead to following adventures in which the party is plagued by more attempts to recruit them, and if they continue to refuse, attempts to see them dead and joining the undead ranks instead of the Were-beasts.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure it needs some tweaking, but that's what I have so far. Thanks in advance for any comments.
