[DL] The Dead of Night

["R.M. Dukes" <deadlands@freewwweb.com>]

    Howdy all!  It's been a year or more since I last ran Deadlands and
we're starting back up this weekend.  Rather than start normally, I
thought it'd be neat to run a one-shot adventure with pre-made
characters to help get everyone back in the saddle again.  My campaign
is going to be big on suspense, so I thought an adventure where all hell
seems to be after the posse would be something they wouldn't expect.  I
found a great one in the Deadlands library: The Dead of Night.
    Has anyone ran this adventure?  I'm wondering because I found one
big problem that I'm having difficulty getting around.  Just in case...

Okay...  The posse gets into the town at NIGHT, because the women are
all vampires.  They are asked by the women to go see what happened to
the men of the town.  The women would be MOST grateful.  I know my
posse... they'll want to stay the night and head out in the morning.
That can't happen or the whole thing is blown.  The characters they'll
be using will have Hindrances to help push them along, but if I have to
point this out they'll know something is up.  I want the ending to come
as a complete suprise.  The use of the candles and note cards is an
excellent idea, by the way.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I'm somewhat
stuck.

Thanks,

Mike Dukes
