[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6612438, member: 97077"] Check out Dungeon Magazine #10 for a humorous adventure called "Monsterquest." The players take on the roles of various bumbling monsters that have to go in and steal a magic item for an orc chieftain. Google it up. I played that back when Milli Vanilli was popular. You could set up a situation where there are X number of adventurers that strike out to make their fortune per year (maybe randomize it a bit) and the monster PCs are tasked with figuring out the best way to lure those murder-hobos into the dungeon to be killed. Their purpose is two-fold: To collect the treasure adventurers are known to carry around on them and to cull the number of people inclined to kill their people. In order to do this, they must build a dungeon, fill it with nasty denizens and traps (which require money and quests to accomplish), and sow rumors of great riches to be had if only someone has the gumption to come and take it. If they manage to kill off that year's crop of adventurers, then they get to engage in Downtime Activity: Breeding and increase the number of monsters of their particular race. When they reach a certain number of monsters after a few cycles of culling adventurers, they have enough to overwhelm nearby civilization and burn it to the ground. [/QUOTE]
