But every Halloween (sometime within the week of the actual  date) when we can play I run Caer Sidi.   Caer Sidi is an underwater city/complex that rises  off the coast of the Isle of Wight and is above the waves for the night of  Samhain, and no more. Thereafter it sinks again. And will not rise and is not  reachable again until next year the same time. If characters are not out by the  time it resubmerges they wont' ever return, not alive anyway. They may return as  ghosts or other undead creatures.   The city is huge, and eldritch, and spooky, and  every time it is visited parts of it are abandoned and deserted, and other  sections inhabited by different creatures and beings. Because of its size and  because it constantly changes and given the time constraints the players have  only ever explored a small part of the overall city.   The normal "laws" of magic and miracles and  sometimes even of physics don't always apply. The lien between the Living and  Dead is always blurred, many things are illusion, and many things are lethal.  The dreams of other beings can come to life, inanimate objects prophesy, men age  decades in moments, curses are often leveled or broken, and Quests can be  unwillingly inflicted on others. Characters can be easily possessed, or can turn  on their own comrades because of sudden madness. Characters can change shape or  race and can even be resurrected from death but will be mute for the rest of the  life. It is said even God has abandoned the place.   Sometimes Caer Sidi will send out uncanny forces  to attack the nearby Isles or sometimes it will rise and weird sounds will be  heard, and sometimes it will rise and glow but be completely silent. Each  appearance is different in nature.   Completely unique magical artifacts, items and devices are  found on it's grounds, as well as weird, supernatural relics. Creatures and beings found nowhere  else reside there.   Traps and tricks are everywhere. There are no  Saving Throws in Caer Sidi. there is no reliable rumors or historical records  involving what might be encountered there.   It may be the most lethal and dangerous adventure  in my entire world. One time the players abandoned their expedition after the first  hall they came to and returned to the Isle of Wight to fight the expedition of  Mind Flayers that Caer Sidi had sent out rather than risk exploring the city any  further.   Yet, every year that we play around Halloween they  go back. And it is one of my favorite adventures to run.</blockquote>
