Sorry to hear about your friend, Draca
How about Howling Stones (Charasis)? Some issues with that zone:
1) locked doors - rogue/bard can pick or have the temporary keys that random mobs drop
2) trap fall carpets - would separate your group - no summoning would provide a challenge/annoyance
3) smallish zone - or possibly the right test size?
4) key quest - Durgroz has no dialogue but handing him items and he still gives a key to access the zone.
Just a thought...
