[QUOTE="Whisper72, post: 3947494, member: 17339"] Well, another tack is to use illusion. Just don't tell them. Somewhere they appear to meet some sort of multi headed dragon type monster, think a mini-Tiamat. It appears to be immune to all damage they do. The dragon breathes different types per head (acid, fire, cold, electricity) and blasts the PC's left and right. Its claws swipe everywhere, batting around the PC's. If they try to flee, the dragon takes flight and pursues. One by one the PC's 'die'. It ends in a TPK. Then the PC's wake up. Massive headache. All their stuff taken. They are awakened by some travellers on the road (maybe some local traders or peasants). Once the PC's tell what happened, the peasants say something along the lines of: "Sounds like the work of Magister Merlin. A great illusionist. He uses this as a trap to steal. Quite a bandit. Wanted in ten kingdoms at least. Strange you never heard of him." That should get them riled for the next adventure.... [/QUOTE]
