In the old rules I never made it past level 6. Halloween was my 2nd event. We were at the ridge for some damned reason (emphasis on damned) where all us lowbies were seperated from the rest of the group by a wall of bone. I ended up using Nacius' body as a shield while shadows continually threw "6 dark" packets at me, at the same time as digging through a wall of bone with my other hand. This same event I spent Friday night running non-stop for hours. When exhaustion set in I hid out under a tree in the pouring rain for 6 hours along the lower path to the bakery. 6 _hours_ sitting dead still in the rain. I was shivering, passing in and out of sleep, and freezing. I think the only reason I didn't die oog was because my armour had a pleather base, which repelled the rain and kept my core warm. -- Oh, and did I pray to the Cat Lord when I saw a pair of red eyes wander down the path, no less than 20 feet from me... knowing oog.. he could sense life at will. But the undead couldnt' hear my heartbeat, for I think it truly stopped until he walked past. (Thanks for that murphy, the fact you were jingling chains while you walked around was scary as hell.)

On my second halloween event, while all the PCs were grouped up in the palisade behind the Inn.. I used the ultimate savar tactic, and hid in the woods behind the palisade, high atop the hill in order to watch the action. I saw the wall breached and bashees screaming through the wall, and every shadow that passed through the palisade to attack the PCs. When it was early in the morning, with an hour or two before dawn, I layed out of a ground sheet and anchored myself sideways between two trees with a hand warmer. I tried to sleep but something had breached the PCs defenses.. and I think they were chasing down Penny, who was kidnapped. There was then a continual mix of constant screaming. Penny, trying to help Kamuzu find her. Kamuzu trying to catch up to Penny. And then banshees and undead attacking the PCs, who were all screaming for help in turn. Eventually I fell asleep. I woke up staring up at a clear blue sky, still shivering violently, and was too exausted to fight off a lvl 2 lightening elemental who found me at the base of the hill. There were a number of PCs crouded around the main firepit and I just yelled for help until one of them came.

Those nights were the longest ever.

My tips for halloween:
-When in doubt, run.
-When you think you're sure, run.

Re: Sleeping outside:
-Plan to sleep in your tent all you want, but tents are easy to find.
-Don't sleep on cold ground. Frozen kidneys is apparently a good way to die.
-Carry everything you need for 6 hours at a time. Water and food, also.
-Hide your belongings the moment you go IG.

Re: IG mechanics:
-"Sense Life" must always be replied to, even if you're trying to be sneaky. (Sense Life IG is the undead hearing your heartbeat. This works out why you don't reply if you're sleeping, your heartbeat is too shallow. Just so noobs know.)
