Necrotic Hold-out (campiagn idea)

Here's one for you Dm's who want an urban survival campaign.

Once upon a time a lich lord attempted to take over the world. His starting conquest was quick, happening over night, & the fight against him took many months. Eventually he was defeated & his horde of undead were disbanded, never to cause the people of the world trouble again.

This campaign is not about the people who stopped the undead lich lord, but is rather about a group of people who found that the city they lived in has been surrounded & invaded by an undead invader over night. Now stuck in the heart land of undead territory, this group of survivors must either find a way out of the lich lord's new domain & or hold out till the counter invasion begins.

This article will like to note that the undead in D&D are not like the ones in the modern day traditional media. Undead have to be brought back from specific spells & as such, the players in this game should not have to worry about 'getting infected'. Also due to this the players can destroy a non-undead corpse so that it won't eventually come back to life from necrotic magic.

Backstory: This cook book was made by a flumph who was creatively named flumph. It took many years to make & has a majority of all flumphs favorite recipes on it. It was then produced in a small volume, before getting shipped out to low sales. 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. ...
