Not sure if its running the WLD once a week for 3 years or just the grind of high level 3.5 DnD. What keeps me going is the thought of finishing this and moving on to something else (either Dnd 4th ed or Savage Worlds). I serously thought about skipping N but in a moment of weekness I played the Lantern Archon by the book and he told them of the World Eater. He opens and closes the door for the party to get into and out of the Region. I'm NOT having the undead spawn every 24 hours but have moved it to a week.  So far the party has run into the Black Guard ghost. She told them of the keys and about the other warlords in the region trying to get the party to work for her. The party was on the way out the door when the monk charged her and started a melee. I had given her some armor feats and with fighting def her AC was in the 40's which made her hard but not impossible to hit for 2 of the party members. Between them and the spells going off she was reduced to about 1/3 hp's so she ran and found reinforcments. One character died in melee as the party retreated. Trying to avoid her area (and tired of fighting things incorpreal) the party stuck to the south end of the area and ran into the insane Judge/Bodak. I thought this might be a tough fight but I had no idea it would turn out to be an almost tkp! The party breezed though the minons up front the skeleton hoards and wights going down easily.  They open the door to the Judges room and see what there is to see. Not being much on talking and thinking it will be an easy fight the party's fighter and monk charges into the room to close with the Judge while the rest of the party hangs back. Since he is insane the Judge's actions are random and it comes up as Dominate (he has a bunch of undead like powers... vampire's dominate, his own death gaze, mummies rot, ect.).  His eyes glow as he tells the fighter to stop the others from disrupting his court... and he fails the save.  He heads back to lay waste to the rest of the party (he's a tweaked out two weapon fighter who can dish out 80 points of damage a round plus -5 or so con points from a dagger of wounding). As the party fights to keep him from killing party members the monk gets into hand to hand combat with the Bodak. After several rounds of each side missing the other with attacks the Bodak gets another Dominate on his random roll. Thinking that this would ruin the party as there is no way they could hold off both him and the fighter I change it to the Death Gaze as the monk has good saves.  And he rolls a 1. Thump down he goes. The party tries to pour all their damage into the Judge who moved towards them (the fighter having been locked away behind a wall of force) and almost drop him but not before he Dominates the parties Bard who then turn and glitter dusts the partys Sorcerer blinding him. So, the 'party' now consists of 1 cleric and 1 blind wizard with 2 party members dominated and 1 dead. Oh boy. We stopped there for that week.  Man, this is getting long. Next week the party Druid showed up. He managed to get the fighter in a Wall of Thorns and they pounded him with Dispel Magics till he was free (lots of debat on if this would work or not. WoTC seems to have errated it so it will as per the core books it won't). The Bard had already been killed from lighting bolts from the Sorcerer (who had been Healed by the Cleric).  The go back in and get the body of the Monk (the Judge wandered off to get more members for his court) and everyone was raised.   I figure getting though N will take us another 3-4 months or so. After that they need to fight the Red Dragon who is waiting for them. Then out though O and the Frost Giants.  They are 16th level now. They should be 18th by the time they finish N and maybe 19th after the Dragon. I suspect O will be a cake walk but it should be fun for the party to do a beat down on some bad guys on the way out. rv</blockquote>
