In our prelim scenario one PC wasted a conviniently placed "genie in a bottle" wish spell on their own advancement after a number of PCs had been level-drained from a wraith. Following this the DM run us through G1: Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, but changed the plot and setting in significant ways that simply made no sense at all.

Two halls on either side of a path. One with a large pile of treasure in the middle of the room, the other with an exit. "Ahh, that's probably a trap", we sensible venturer's declare. Ignoring us, Stean's character goes over to the pile of treasure, as we notice his movements we start preparing spells. Suddenly wraiths appear and strike him down!
