Need Creepy Filler Content for Skinsaw Murders (spoilers)

[Something Wicked]

Spoiler:

So my group has just left the Sanitorium. They have Habe and Zerren alive. They also have an unconscious Grayst with them, though I expect he will succumb to ghoul fever and rise tonight. I want something creepy to happen to them on their hike back to Sandpoint. Have I mentioned it's dusk? They'll be walking in darkness.

I want to keep them busy for a while this evening b/c once they return to town our Shoanti (who has been camping in the woods east of town) will find evidence of you-know-who tampering with his things.

All ideas welcome and appreciated

[Hythlodeus]

have you tried something like of this?

I used ghouls with hit and run tactics trying to paralyse and drag off a victim to pick the group off. Being chased through the woods by an enemy they could not see with the atmosphere set just right gave them a memorable encounter

One npc left the party to scarred to travel outside of a city after nearly being dragged off and eaten and one pc decided to chase one despite the lack of darkvision and lost an eye in the process!

Oooh, always a good idea.

Don't be afraid to use the Random Encounter tables to see if something comes across them. It doesn't have to be a straight fight, mind you. Sirens in the woods, goblins harrying them in the undergrowth, ghouls in the mist. I usually use Random Encounter tables for these kind of moments.

You could also go for the big guns: Have the Sandpoint Devil harry them a bit. It could certainly make for a great horror scene as the Devil flies about, waiting for its moment, deciding if the party would make an easy meal.
