Switch to Forum Live View [4E] My PC's will be fighting on a lightning rail tomorrow. Any tips on how to spice it up?

They are assassins, right? Wouldn't they just stalk the PCs and wait until the perfect time to strike?


 Because it's Eberron, and you've got an excuse to run a combat on top of a train. Duh!

Why choose to have your bad guys (who are destined to all die anyway) do something the sane way, when you could choose to have the combat be Awesome instead just by having them be a hair stupid.




Don't you know? The perfect to attack the party is when they are on top of the train. 
I'm sure the assassins and the PCs want the fight on top of the train, who wouldn't?

When I did a similar encounter in my current Eberron Campaign the pirates attacked the train from the outside using an air ship and ropes to get on the train.  It was pretty epic since when the fight went bad for the pirates they jumped off the train and climbed the ropes back to the air ship.  Intense action !

Every eighteen seconds (three rounds), an overhanging lantern/bridge brace/ etc... strikes anyone that isn't prone.  Attack vs. Reflex. Hit:damage and push target 3 squares, knock prone.
