A couple of (low) epic level elites

[Mesh Hong]

It’s a bit quiet on the homebrew creature front at the moment so I thought I would share a couple of elites I used as part of an encounter in my groups last side quest.

They worked quite well as a team, and turned out to be a reasonable enough threat for my PCs. In essence the role they played was a last bit of softening up before the grand finale.
