Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 6277710" data-attributes="member: 1210">I've used purple worms a number of times over the years. One memorable moment was at the end of Steaks, an adventure in... I think it's I13, but whatever it is, it's Adventure Pack 1. Basically, a bunch of small adventures for all levels in one product. Steaks is a fun one that centers on a new restaurant in town that's serving up delicious steak and eating up all the business in town. The pcs are hired to investigate and figure out what's going on. Spoilers: [sblock]At the end, the pcs can find out where the steaks are coming from. The module gives the dm a number of suggestions; I've run this adventure twice, and the first time I used purple worms as the source of the meat. The second time, I used unicorns. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />[/sblock]So that was pretty fun. Another great one is, IIRC, in I5, Lost Tomb of Martek. I'd put this in a spoiler block, but it's the picture on the cover: the pcs are sailing in a magic boat along a sea of glass in the middle of a desert, and a purple worm erupts from beneath them. It was an awesome and terrifying fight, both when I ran the module and when I played it.There have been a number of other encounters with purple worms, ranging from the party fleeing from the worm (this has happened more than once) to one-round-killing it (in 3e). But those two examples above are the coolest.</blockquote>
