I’m playing a campaign with my two brothers. The basic premise is that a strong demon offered a power hungry lord an army. The man accepted and as such enabled this demon to start funneling a massive amount of lesser demons into the material plane. This happened about a month ago and after the PCs proved themselves strong enough, it was decided that they would try to sneak into the lord's keep and try off the guy in charge.
One of the PCs is a Warblade 5 / Bloodstorm Blade 6 with a wounding scythe, while the other is a Warblade 4 / Kensai Varient Fighter 2 / Kensai 4 / Exotic Weapon Master 1 with an enfeebling double kopesh (from Sandstorm, think double scimitar). They both focus on Iron Heart and Diamond Mind and really depend on Iron Heart Surge to keep them going through Paralysis, Poison and Negative Levels.
So far I’ve thrown them against a Hezrou (SRD) in a city as a sort of mock battle; a group of Manes, Rutterskins and a Zovvut (BoVD and MMII) as a small patrol between them and the keep; three Zovvuts; and finally a Bebilith in a cave which is supposed to be connected to the castles dungeons.
They were both level ten, having leveled after the Bebilith. This last encounter was probably the deadliest, since the spider knocked the Kenai to below half health in one full attack thanks to the con poison. They scrapped through it, although the BB’s Breastplate almost got destroyed.
I know what the final encounter is going to be (a certain CR 13 demon that can grant a wish once a month), but I would like some suggestions as to what to put in between. I've looked at the Arrow Demon from MMIII and decided to place 1 or 2 if they make it into the courtyard. Could anyone give me some suggestions?
