So, a 4th-level character with a Strength of 18 would have +6 to Strength checks.However, I will say that when I ran this adventure, I quickly decided that some things needed to be changed on the fly. The adventure doesn't say anything about why the PCs can't just beat on Indomitability while he's pinned with the sword or why he suddenly becomes killable once the sword is removed, so I had to hand-wave that. I also decided to just make the check to pull out the sword succeed on the second attempt because it was clear that it was going to be hard to remove the sword, and if the PCs can't remove it the story can't move on.Finally, I believe the reason Indomitability is fiery is that he's linked to the forest itself, perhaps because of the Living Blade. He wasn't fiery when he was pinned to the lake bed, but once the forest started burning, he started burning too.</blockquote>
