I think this is the right place to post this.
I am going to be running a game and was in the process of coming up with holidays for a small town. One of the holidays is called 'Ol' Witching Days' it was set up by a local wizard to troll the local witch.
Thadius the wizard started spreading rumors that if you touch the witches hut on a certain night you will get something cool (think trick-or-treat). The gist of the situation is you have from dusk until dawn to try and touch the door of the hut. The witch has set up Obstacles to slow down contestants on the way (All non-Lethal).
Basically i need a bunch of non-lethal traps, obstacles and creatures that slow contestants down. The village is about 3 hours walk away from the witches hut. She lives next to a lake that the village is also on. their is a forest, a road, and she has plots for farming (including scarecrows)
Some ideas i have come up with are. Spider web traps in the forest, Living pumpkins that wrap would be contestants in vines. I need more layers of defense. its intended to be an open 'how do you go about this' situation so i need to plan for different angles of attack. She would have compensated for previous years winners to make it harder to win the same way twice.
I should also note the witch herself is an active part of the holiday. I have not decided on how, maybe flying around on her broom zapping fear effects at people to scare them away, or i thought she could be the last line of defense and have a spell that turns contestants into a scarecrow for the night if it hits (and a save of course).
Any thoughts or idea would greatly be appreciated!
Cheers!
