Stay out if you're part of my DnDerp The Night Below Campaign.
Hey all, I'm working on a significant drawn out tunnel encounter for my game tmorrow. The party is going to encounter something of an alternate squad that could've been them in the current conflict had they been evil. They'll be traveling in converging directions in the tunnels of the Underdark and both parties will have been there for numerous months and comfortable in tactics therein.
Kidnappers for deviant illithid tastes, I'm envisioning the enemy party as being a major challenge for the party of 5 or 6 level 7-8 PCs. They're decently optimized for our combat heavy campaign and have approx 30% higher WBL than by the book.
The party:
Paladin/Warder- tank/bruiser/area controller
Bard- reach combat support, optimized inspire and debuff clearing
Sorcerer/Dragon Disciple- Acid blaster and front-line gish
Wizard- Half batman half fire blaster
Rogue- unchained scout/sneak attack, very high stealth/perception
Oracle/Paladin- Lifelink, fast healing and healing channeling with some melee competency
Ideal enemy party would have interesting teamwork tactics to compensate for their lower NPC wealth. Casualties to the PC party are fine, I'd really like them to test their mettle against foes that are ready and willing to use consumables/focus fire before moving into a deadlier phase of the campaign.
Have a fun PC/NPC in the 7-9 CR range? Post em and I'll come back and let everyone know how the fight went!
