[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6885176, member: 12731"] Thanks! Yeah, my party is five level 9ish PCs, so I can really bring it on without any real worry for their safety. The encounter I'm going to use these for is when the party is climbing (levitating?) down a vertical shaft with lots of small ledges. Suddenly an Umber Hulk smashes through a wall right at the last (topmost) character, with a "small" Fomorian as its rider. Behind them a dozen of these Grimlocks pour out, jumping from ledge to ledge to spread out during the surprise round. Thus, as the combat starts, the party is mostly below, and intermingled with, a dozen beefy Grimlocks (too beefy to go down in a single Spirit Guardians or Fireball, mind you). And the Fomorian and the Umber Hulk each will mess with their heads, while leaving their Grimlock underlings unaffected... The party is leaving Mantol-Derith to descend into the Lower Underdark, and this encounter is meant to show them that this place isn't for soft surfacers... heh Good luck with your game, and hope your heroes will also reach this level of badassery! :) [/QUOTE]
