Well, If that can is too big, leave it shut. I once ran a campaighn like
this, and I had a seen, watched by the players from a far hillside, A
dragon fighting a group of living dead. The dragon sent a searing gust
of flame to kill the deads. They were blown down and on fire, but they
werent dead.No siree! they got right back up again. The dragon was
terrified, and took some zombies with him, but he was zombied real
quick. Then he went out to look for Living-Dragons to devour. THe
players were especialy paranoid after that.
