So I'm currently in the process of refluffing Against the Cult of the Reptile God to use for some players to be a more Fey themed adventure (basically, the townsfolk made a Pact with a local hag for protection and, after the PC's inadvertently stop a ritual, they now have to rescue the town, free the villagers, and kill the hag).
So while I'm going through it, I'm trying to figure out an appropriate final boss for them to fight. On one hand, the Green Hag would probably be an even and somewhat creepy fight for the PC's, as I'm planning on having them fight the Hag at level 3. However, I'll admit I'm somewhat underwhelmed by the green hag and have been thinking about using the Annis hag instead as their final fight. The Annis would be more in line with the final boss actually present in Against the Cult in terms of power scale, and is actually scaled back a bit in terms of power.
That said... a CR6 against a group of 5-6 level 3 PC's seems a little bit overwhelming. However, like I said, it's a final boss of the adventure and the Annis hag doesn't seem totally overwhelming. So... opinions from the playground: should I pit them against an Annis or a Green hag?
