Background:
Dnd 3.5 set in Greyhawk
Four players, all level 5 (fighter, rogue, cleric, ranger)
The basic idea: the PCs and their enemy are both seeking out the body of a long dead cleric of Iuz. The enemy is attempting to recover the body from where it fell (an isolated battleground that has since been forgotten). The PCs have followed the enemy to the site and both sides are now looking for the body. The enemy forces are strong enough that direct confrontation would likely be suicide.
Help: I need ideas on what to include in the search session to make it interesting. I'm thinking the body will likely be in catacombs underground, so some dealings with unstable ground, pockets of gas, etc as well as any enemy searchers they cross paths with. But beyond that, I'm drawing a blank - and i would like to do more with it than a dice roll or two and a fight.
Any thoughts or ideas would be most welcome.
