[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 6244294, member: 10784"] The level 27 solo was Baba Yaga. She had an aura that prevented teleporting within 10 squares, and also gave a penalty to flying creatures. Her main at-will was Broomstick, which was a melee only attack. She also had a recharge power Crushing Grasp, which recharged on a 5 or 6 (every 3rd round, on average), but was kind of pointless most of the time, since the party was spread out. Vile Transmutation was a nasty standard action power that recharged when she used an action point, so could be used 3 times in the combat She had a move action power which allowed her to teleport 5 squares and use Broomstick. Nice to get out of grapples, or when flanked by the rogue. Minor Action power of Evil Eye, which was 1 enemy within 10 squares could be subjected to making a free basic attack against an ally. Triggered Action - if she takes fire damage, she can gain 25 temp hit points (piddly against level 24) And, once per round, she can make an attack against anybody within 10 squares of her that damages her, which didn't come into play that often to be honest. The ranger was pummeling her from 20+ squares away, the rogue & fighter were occupied with her Elite bodyguards, while the goliath defender/striker kept trying to attack her, but would get hit with broomstick and teleported away, and then she'd try to use Evil Eye to slide him father away to attack an ally. The party shaman was busy trying to keep the party healed, but would also try to hit Baba-Yaga from afar as well, as would the wizard. And, since the goliath was mostly melee stuff, he'd then have to double move to get back into her face, then he'd get sent away again. But, once the party had polished off the elites and other bodyguards, and had Baba Yaga bloodied, the party was fully healed, though down a bunch of Daily & Encounter powers. Since the night was getting late, I declared that the players had won the combat, since Baba Yaga basically had no chance without allies, and would now be the full focus of all the attacks. I didn't want to sit there for another 2 hours doing 2 broomsticks a round, teleport the goliath and have him attack the fighter, every single time. [/QUOTE]
