Undead Screaming

Dead Man Floating

I was going to post an encounter I made last night for testing some house rules but I forgot to export the files and send them to myself here at work so I’ll have to do it later.  Which really begs the question where the MB keeps it’s files?  I couldn’t figure it out at …

Ghost Caravan

Ballik Tor

Here’s a random encounter you could toss at your players when they’re on the road.  I’d use it as the party is traveling into the dusky evening.  They’ll come across the remains of a caravan that was obviously attacked some time previously.  They should be encouraged to spend the evening in the area.  They need …

Breathstealer

breathstealer

I needed something to terrorize a small town or large village and this seemed appropriate.  Unexplained deaths have been occurring over the last several months, with several inhabitants being found dead in their sleep without any marks on them. People are scared, and now few people dare to sleep alone.  Even so people are still …

Swamp Skill Challenge

Nothing to see here, just storing this for later perusal for the purposes of garnering ideas from it – Original Post Phase Two: Searching the Moor In order to locate the Tower Aardant the characters have to search approximately 10 square miles of swampland. Every time the characters narrow the search they eliminate 1 square …

Clockwork Oranges

Final Creation

I was thinking about a one off encounter, the lair of a mad gnome tinker by the name of Calliope who’s skills with arcane energies are only matched by his metal crafting and both are topped by his insanity. Driven deep into the mountains by those who cast him out he started crafting his animates.  …

Skill Challenge: Defense

Attack!

This is the skill challenge I’m going to try next, no harm if the player’s see it here really.  I believe that barring just crazy stupid dice rolls the skills and DC’s allow for the party to succeed at least partially if not fully. There are enough skills that everyone should have a shot to …

Blood Harvest

Aftermath...

I’ve put the pdf of the encounter on the resources page that I did last session up for download if anyone’s interested. You can also get it here: It makes a nice fight IMO for a level 2 party of 5.  Nothing fancy and I don’t have maps for it.  I may do some if …

Encounter – When Rex Attacks

You'd run too

I thought this had some potential.  A more environmentally aware encounter and I don’t mean in a hug the tree, pick up litter, car pool kind of way. Â  Essentially a more interactive area with lots of things to use and abuse. A snippet:

Encounter: Traveling Circus

Circus... of EVIL!

A wilderness encounter that I’ve come up with goes as such, it’s pretty combat only but should give a good party a feel good moment and a bad party some extra income. The party is traveling for whatever reason and comes across an empty village that appears to have been overrun by [insert a plausible …
