[QUOTE="wlmartin, post: 5730447, member: 6679380"] Regardless of if I should or shouldnt do it, I have done it and the worst thing that happens is it doesnt pan out too much but its a temporary adventure for one session - just a bit of fun! So assuming that I dont plan to change this, I get your idea of heroes assaulting the group as the 2nd encounter, I however have some issues to deal with : What is the best way to deal with the fact that the captured vampire is on display in front of 100s of witnesses... and I forsee one of 2 possibilities 1 : The Vampires who come to rescue attempt to mingle through the crowd and either attempt a bold faced rescue (and attract attacks from the town guard) or attempt a diplomacy with the officials. I however forsee that something else would need to kick in at the diplomacy where if it succeeds, another force intervens (ie Vampire Hunters) and if fails, the town guard attacks them 2 : The Vampires who come to rescue find that the village has been laid to waste, bodies everywhere and the Vampire is under guard in the centre of the carnage - someone has laid waste to the village for some reason and they are either Vampire Hunters looking for more Vampires, Werewolves looking for more Vampires or just bad luck that some bandits decide to rampage through the village when this is all going down Apart from the above I cant think of any scenario to start the adventure off with [/QUOTE]
