I don't know what Dave had us fight, but I know that with undead stuff, Le Boom isn't very effective (discovered that in the stadium battle.

I don't think I'm spoiling anything by telling you that what you fought at the stadium was a crew of Murder Wraiths. They're undead juicers created by necromancers, and they're fast, tough, and very dangerous. They are immune to any but magic (include Cyber-Knight psi-swords) and silver. Yeah, you should totally get some silver rounds or alternative weapon, since things like Murder Wraiths and vampires are vulnerable to such things. Rifts, being what it is, has rail guns that shoot stakes for vampire killing.

Yes, Vampires would wreck everyone in the current crew except Tiffany, and that's if they didn't get a surprise round to take out the only person with fire.

Annabella would also be fine using her Psi-Sword.

I won't give it away here, but I can tell you in the original they were pretty tough. I do recall that they were heavily armored. They are not undead (unless CADAVE is doing something VERY weird) and so should be vulnerable to standard damage.

At the stadium battle, they definitely fought Murder Wraiths, and they could find that information pretty easily at Castle Refuge, so I don't think that's a spoiler issue. Now, what they fought in episode 11... well, yeah, long-time Rifts fans know what they were up agains, and it's a fun mystery wrapped in an enigma folded into insanity. Good, fun stuff there.

You've revealed a major weakness for a powerful type of enemy and that enemy's history and origin, and denied cadave the ability to reveal all that at a time and place appropriate for his campaign -- even if the revelation just came via roleplaying from other members of the Tomorrow Legion at Castle Refuge. Please let's not reveal what those creatures were that attacked the Castle in ep 11. It promises to be awesome!

In Rifts, knowledge of Murder Wraiths is pretty widespread, and Castle Refuge would certainly know what they are. Lord Coake founded the place, so they would definitely know. Plus, Murder Wraiths and their employers don't really have any sort of mysterious agenda as a whole. (CADave has certainly given them something interesting with the dragon egg.) Also, the group really should start carrying the sorts of things you need to take on supernatural evil anyway. They lack a mage, so they really should have silver weapons, holy water, etc., even if they never encounter another Murder Wraith. Not doing so is like walking into a D&D dungeon without healing potions.
As for the other creatures... they are an awesome mystery.

You're absolutely right... but you've denied Dave the opportunity to reveal all that in his game when he wanted to. That's all I'm saying.

I'm not worried about the Murder Wraith info, the players figured out the effectiveness of silver versus the boom gun already. The new enemies though, I want to keep a surprise for a bit
