No rule is inviolate
Looking for some ideas for a monster's body as a dungeon/puzzle.
Setup: PCs are running a fledgling barony and on their border is a troll with ambitions to run his own monster kingdom (Kingmaker adaptation). When he dies, a fey pact kicks in and an ancient colossal being known only as "Talonquake" in legend rises up from beneath his castle and moves to finish off the PCs capital. A mutually assured destruction option if the troll couldn't pacify them into a food and/or slave source as he had going with the bandits who previously ruled the area. The PCs already have come across stories about it.
Rather than make this a hackfest, I was envisioning it more like a puzzle, or a dungeon. Thoughts?
