My PCs were separated and are now trapped in the Shadow Plane. This is intended to of course be temporary and I'm using the overall ambiguity of the plane itself to be fairly "anything goes" with my ruling of the scenario.
My idea was to have the PCs slowly regroup and find each other before finding a way out but I wanted to pick forum-goers brains for any neat and flavorful encounters that could occur on this plane. I'd like to keep CRs pretty low since the now-level-8 PCs may be encountering obstacles while alone or with one other person. Any suggestions welcome!
A group of owbs, possibly with an entourage of dark folk like dark stalkers or dark creepes might be interesting, though their base CRs are a bit low. Giving a couple of the owbs and dark folk some class levels would probably even the odds. An Umbral dragon (Don't know which age category is appropriate for level 8 PCs, but I'm sure one of them is sufficient) would also provide an interesting battle.
this one looks interesting. I also read about a race of native telepathic mercantile scarab-beetle-people called the d'ziriak that live on the shadow plane somewhere, they are generally friendly and could work for a non hostile encounter. They are not very shadowy in and of themselves, more rainbow/technicolor.
