Hey guys,
I have an interesting situation in my game, I could use some advice on. So. I have a Death Tyrant controlling a part of an underground dungeon. Dungeon is sprawling on an underground trade route, used only by Drow, who ferry slaves. Death Tyrant also controls several groups of undead monsters, who guard the area. When Drow party appears, they gift a magic item to Death Tyrant and are safe to rest for a night near his lair, guarded by Tyrant's undead.
Unbeknownst to the Tyrant, there are several layers of dungeon above his lair - and above all of them is a small human city. OFC adventurers have cleared existing levels and have now found a way into one of the shafts(previously covered with debris from collapsed dungeons), that lead vertically into the main corridor, controlled by Death Tyrant. A few groups dropped in to be mowed down by tyrant's minions. But groups KEEP ON COMING. It's super annoying for the tyrant.
Now plugging the shaft seems a diffcult task(maybe not?). One could collapse the shaft, but this means, corridor gets caved in. Undead need no food, water and sleep and are always vigilant and can be placed in a shaft to deal with all intruders. Death tyrant himself can patrol the area no problem.
But maybe playground has another idea/take on this.
Thanks!
