Vampire vs Farmhouse & Grey Render

[Dandu]

I didn't say killed by the Gray Render. I said Raped.

 

[Empirate]

When the Grey Render attacks the Vampire... cast an Anti Magic Field around them. Watch as Vampire is brutally raped by Gray Render.

I didn't say killed by the Gray Render. I said Raped. The Gray Render can grapple the Vampire. The fast healing helps the Vampire but blood drain requires a Pin.

Once the Vamp is pinned or even just grappled all you have to do is walk up and stake the damn thing and game over.

Nice plan. So where do the PCs get that Antimagic Field at their level?

 

[ThaDium]

Yeah, there's no anti-magic field. But I do like the quasi-vampiric grey render idea. I'm going to have to think on that one for a bit and see where to go with it. Luckily, we don't play again until the 22nd. hmmm...

Also, if the players expect a vampire, it will be easier to fight it.

For example, finding the farmer dead, and then having him get up as a vampire, after the players bury him themselves will be more unexpected especially if they think the threat is not a vampire but something else.

However if they already know they are gonna meet a vampire...

Level 3 druid spell stone shape, tunnel to the house and then when the PC's are inside, sink the whole thing. The vampire now has a feast prepaired for it whenever it wants it, and the PC's know there in some kind of danger.

If you want to make it even tougher, its a choke point, prepair arc of lightning as the level 4 spell and zap all the PC's.

Edit: also the vampire could buff itself with the standard cats grace and such, I dont know how prepaired the vampire should be, even if it is laying a trap, a fully prepared mage is a lot to handle.

On the spell side, I'm planning to have the family behave in a "trapped in the house" manner that will hopefully infect the players, then have the vampire roll a flaming sphere into the house. His spells can enter, after all. Once the house is lit, they'll have to run and deal with keeping the family safe from the vamp out side in the fields.

So this is a fairly new vampire. Who was a Druid. And was depressed, attempting to destroy himself.

...This could be kinda neat, is there any possible way the Vampire character can redeem himself? You know, after he and the Grey Render fight, with the help of the PCs, the Vampire is beaten, then he weeps, invites the PCs to kill him. Tells his sad story, then you as the DM could provide the opportunity for the PCs to try to find a way to save the individual, or choose to kill him outright.

I didn't say killed by the Gray Render. I said Raped. The Gray Render can grapple the Vampire. The fast healing helps the Vampire but blood drain requires a Pin.

... I think I don't ever want to play a game with you dude.

I like the idea of redemption you've got going on there, Rumbletiger. I'll try to work that in.

<MEMORY SIDEBAR> A few years back I ran a plot line where the priest of the PCs home village turned to an evil god for power to protect the village from invading fey and was eventually redeemed. The plotline took about a year to play through from his gradual fall to his eventually redemption. It was so good it's overshadowed the players' memories of the main plot of the game.</MEMORY SIDEBAR>

Another idea I have, on the turning the wackiness up to 11 side of things is to have the players encounter the family's missing cow the night after they leave the farm. It is, of course, a vampire cow and has been hiding from the sun in a nearby cave. It's so absurd, my players may just leave it alone.
