I wanted to run a Campaign where at the start the party draws from the Deck of many things, Throne, Knight and Skull, and then it goes away.
Basically giving the idea that they can get a small keep, but they need to kill the dread wraith or else they die as well. With the level 4 fighter telling them the rules and even helping them.
Problems though is, it doesn't actually say when the dread wraith shows up, just says it appears. I'm assuming it appears as soon as the card was drawn. I wanted to do a type of count down timer for ether A, when they have to kill it, or B, when it will show up.
How much does a small keep actually have inside of it, wealth wise? I wouldn't mind, in fact would prefer if they actually use the keep to aid them.
How much does the Fighter actually know? Seeing as he/she was created by the same source, the fighter would know everything about the keep and the dread wraith, or at least, enough. What else does the fighter know? Is the fighter aware of the current world?
Finally, I don't think you can share the "effects" of the Deck, so I don't know would would actually get the +6 to Diplomacy rolls, or who actually has to fight the Dread Wraith. I wanted it to be the who party vs 1, since having an equal amount of Wraith with an equal amount of adventures would require a very high level session to be even consider fair.
Should I be fudging these rules at all?
