A Nightmare (encounter idea)

Here's one for you DM's that want an encounter that interrupts a long rest.

The players have just fallen asleep for the night & have either forgot to put someone on watch or the person they put on watch has rolled really low. Pick one of your players (who isn't on watch & is also asleep) & tell them to describe what their dream is like. After they describe it, have them roll a perception check. If they pass tell them they see a nightmare. (If they fail they get attacked by the nightmare which will wake them up_

Once they asked what the nightmare is (assuming that they think it's a nightmare as in a bad dream) tell them that it's a large flaming horse that is inside their tent. If they figure out that it's a nightmare & it's their in real life an encounter begins. If they don't figure out that it's real life then comedy ensues.

It's now can be found in the odd pawn shop or novelty place Material Value: This item isn't realy worth that much to many people. That being said, people who like cooking are going to buy this at a higher price than most people. If You find a flumph, most would absolutely pay a large amount for this. ...
