[QUOTE="Motorskills, post: 7037412, member: 15921"] Ha, I used these guys with an Uthgardt shaman today. STR 15 + Tiger + Jump spell......equals 75 long jump. Hello weakling party members!!! *** [I]Insane [/I]fight. :D Halfway between Everlund and Silverymoon, 7 x 7th level PCs took on the Red Tigers, they received a charge after sorta triggering an ambush. The make-up of the horde wasn't all that thematic, but it looked amazing and ran even better. :) Five warbands each converged on the party (who had 6 Zhentarim Guards and 1 Zhentarim Veteran to assist). 5 x tribal warriors 2 x berserkers 1 x shaman 1 x statted barbarian (per PHB/SCAG) (2 x 3rd, 1 x 6th, 1 x 9th, 1 x 11th wielding two +1 battleaxes) The statteds each rode a sabre-toothed tiger (who have a really nasty attack if they get a run-up) Insane fight, went right down to the wire. Four PCs dropped (one three times!). One died but was revivified. Shadowtop Cathedral worked beautifully. I used Turlang to explain about the Ordning and the disappearance of King Hekaton. The Enclave recruited a second PC. The party were then plant-teleported to Everlund. In Everlund the party learned from the Harpers that the forge in Gauntlgrym had been "switched off" a couple of weeks ago. The Harpers have no idea why this is a big deal (why not just re-light it?), but they are aware that the dwarves have gone berserk in the Underdark searching for something(s) or someone(s). (Of course what's happened is that the Drow are making their way towards Ironslag with a Titan-In-A-Bottle. At the next session, the party will come across some dead dwarves / live Drow who have surfaced at a convenient point because it is temporarily faster. Details TBD, but I won't let the party capture the Drow courier, too much fun to let them figure it out in Ironslag). The party also learned at some point that six fire giants spent two days digging out the entrance to the Found Mine of Phandelver and then another "unplugging" the Forge of Spells before heading off towards Ironslag. They are starting to put two and two together.... (IMC the forge is actually the engineblock of the Vovinode). They also learned that the Zhentarim Jasper Dimmerchasm was helping those fire giants, but the Zhents are unclear if this was voluntary or not. Either way, the Zhents have offered a future favour if the party gets Jasper back. (Jasper is the dwarf that is INSIDE the macehead of Duke Zalto. :D) [/QUOTE]
