[QUOTE="ThaDium, post: 5962335, member: 10437"] I'm the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-legacy-discussion/324553-d-d-turned-up-11-a.html"]D&D turned up to 11[/URL] guy. One of my players told me he wanted to see what I'd do with a vampire. Follow me on the set up; we'll get to the vampire. My PCs are going to come across a Grey Render and an injured man who are being attacked by a pack of wolves near a half dug trench and the carcass of a deer. (The grey render has adopted a nearby farm family, they do that, it's one the monster manual, and was bringing back the deer for them when he encountered one of his adopted humans being threatened by the wolves.) I assume this will lead to the PCs, grey render and injured, barely conscious farmhand following the heading to the farm together. They'll get to the battered, boarded up farmhouse at dusk and will be rushed into a living room full of livestock. They'll be told to get their horses inside and any valuables off their cart, "Quickly because it's getting dark." The house is surrounded by a moat of stagnant water and a trench leads to where the farm hand was digging. Another leads to a nearby pond. The farmers will tell the PCs that they have been terrorized by a vampire for the past two nights but refuse to leave. They're prideful and the nearest village is two days away. Uninvited, the vampire can't get in, but he has been able to harass them through open windows, which is why the windows are boarded up. They don't know where he's coming from (He's been staying in a cavern within the family's well that he can access in gaseous form.), only that he shows up each night looking for food. So, that's the set up. Vampire vs. Farmhouse & Grey Render The vamp is an 8th level dwarf druid. He'll use scry and warp wood to see into the house and will have one of the family members dominated early on in the night. He'll also send some swarms into the house to terrorize people. His only fear will be the magic silver scimitar one of the PCs has. I figure the dominated family member will try to steal it. Any one have any other thoughts on what I should do here? ANy clever vampire tricks? The PCs are: 7th level Dwarf rogue/ranger 7th level Halfling cleric/wizard/mystic theurge 6th level Elf barbarian/druid Thanks, ThaDium [/QUOTE]
