So, I am planning this 2-session sub-adventure within my ongoing campaign since one player cannot attend the next few sessions. Last session, one of their characters died and another went unconscious so I am having them face the dead character's patron evil spirit she had imprisoned. The unconscious character inhabits a representation of their father who is quite plot-relevant.
Anyway, the point is to face each of the evil spirit's aspects. They are helped by the aspect which was borne of its servitude to the character, manifested as a Ghostly Visage on her. The rest are an awakened ogre skeleton with listen and move silently in a dark area where light is reduced in intensity by one step ('the Chestsitter') and a Urdark with reduced HD alongside halfling warrior skeletons ('the Choker of Infants'). Once the others have been defeated, its core can be uncovered: a Vasuthant (MM3 182). The Vasuthant is pretty perfect for this but it can only grab creatures its size or smaller. Increasing the size has its own problems, so I was wondering if there might be some (thematically appropriate) pre-generated creatures with Reduce Person at an appropriate CR. The characters are basically level 3. If not, I suppose I will just include some environmental hazard which can cause the effect.
Thank you in advance.
