BEAKS - a goofy adventure idea up for grabs!

Oct 14, 2010 20:24:59 I had a short low-level adventure idea today that amuses me greatly. Unfortunately, I won't be running a game for a while, so I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone wants to run with it.

Basically, it's "Jaws" on land, with an owlbear and a vampiric twist ending.

Scene 1: Small village, the Spring fair approaches, but... a hunting party has disappeared. Livestock have been horrible mutilated. A Nature check tells you you've got an Owlbear. A reward is offered.

Scene 2: Skill challenge: Hunting the Owlbear
Full success: You reach the true Owlbear's lair.
Partial: You fight "an" owlbear but not the "true Owlbear".
Failure: Another group kills the wrong owlbear and gets the reward money.

Scene 3a: A nature or perception check (or gutting the false owlbear) tells you this is not the Owlbear that killed the hunting party or livestock.

Scene 3b: Preparations for the spring fair continue... until another person dies!

Scene 4: The hunt begins again! Luckily, it just rained, you find fresh owlbear tracks in the mud!

Scene 5: The Lair/Cave. You're attacked by the (now undead) lost hunting party! What the heck? You overcome some sort of cave-based hazard. Then, you meet the classic vampire decked out in classic vampire attire, and he's riding an owlbear. He's tough, has nasty spells and a high AC... but he drops after 1 successful attack. The Owlbear then stands up and delivers his villanous monologue... he is the true vampire and the others were just his minions! Tough fight ensues.
