[QUOTE="THEMNGMNT, post: 9225140, member: 6809274"] 57th session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. This is the climax of the whole campaign! Three player characters of 11th level: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. With them is an NPC drow wizard--a romantic interest of the evoker. The characters are in the Xanathar's lair. The Xanathar is held captive and about to be transformed into an elder brain by a mind flayer named Tassatar. Tassatar murdered the evoker's parents and the drow's clan...and has caused more than a few problems for the rogue and fighter. It's time for payback! The characters' explorations finally alerted a patrol--two chain brute ogres and an ogre that had been transmogrified into a nothic. (I used the stat block of an evil eye fomorian, which is a pretty fun monster.) Hits from the rogue and fighter softened up the patrol, and a few fireballs from the evoker finished them off. Unfortunately, fireballs make a lot of noise. Nearby, a door opened, and a horde of grimlock minions rushed into the corridor. On the other side of the door was the lair's main chamber, where Tassatar waited. The mind flayer was wreathed in a glowing force field and guarded by a dire troll. Melee ensued between the grimlocks and player characters. At this point, the rogue put his plan into action. He commanded his shield guardian to stomp past the grimlocks, enter the chamber, and grapple the mind flayer. If you've been following along you'll remember that the shield guardian was strapped with smokepowder barrels. From the corridor, the evoker got line of sight on Tassatar. He cast dispel magic and critted his check. The force field shattered. Next in initiative was the drow. She cast lightning bolt at the shield guardian. The smokerpowder barrels detonated, obliterating everything and everyone in the chamber. In the aftermath, the characters got in a few last words with the dying mind flyer. They recovered all the remaining cards from the Deck of Many Things. And had a moment to savor their triumph. That's when the chamber started to crack...the ceiling collapse...and the wall to the Xanathar's bedroom caved in--revealing that the beholder had undergone ceremorphosis! Next session: Elder brain beholder! [/QUOTE]
