[QUOTE="wlmartin, post: 5730618, member: 6679380"] You just gave me another idea... What if I play it Smoking Aces style. Enter the following : A group of rival vampires : A group of werewolves : A group of Religious Zealots : A group of Vampire Slayers And along with the PC party, they all battle it out Royal Rumble style ... or perhaps not but the idea is funny Another one someone else suggested is have the idea of there being a party a ruse to lure the other Vampires in. The gnomes lay a trap where do-gooders come to kill the other Vampires rescuing. This is either the gnomes laying the trap themselves or Vampire Hunters have infiltrated the village and have the entire village under lockdown, everyone is barred in their homes and the nobles are held up in the village community hall under guard... The Hunters want to attract the Vampires and ambush them, this will no doubt fail and the Vampires then have the opportunity to escape (and thus ill have some backup encounter ready, which is not ideal) or they seek to free the village proving they are in fact worthy of respect. Or... maybe the Gnomes are devil worshipers looking to make a sacrifice to the demons of the abyss. When the group defeat their first encounter (the gnomish devouts) the demon comes up from hell with a scaly ghostly hand to pull the Vampire on the pole down but he escapes just in the nick of time and the Demon Lord sends his minions to the material plane to punish the impudence! The only way for me to get Radiant Damage into the equation of any of these ideas is to have a Religious / Vampire Hunter type as the common enemy and have it make sense that their attacks deal this damage Of the above ideas, which ones sound better --- i am very unsure [/QUOTE]
