[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6312234, member: 82106"] One of the most successful solos I ever had was "Old 100 Foot", a sort of Cthulhuoid beast that would leave strange trails in the woods. It could become partly insubstantial. Otherwise it was just a Gargantuan (4x4) brute. It would unleash a couple of nasty tentacle thumps with a reach 2 that tossed the target from 3-6 squares, dazed them, and knocked them prone. It could also do a slightly milder version as a reaction to a melee attack. It could also do an overrun type move, so it would avoid just being totally pinned down. Every so often it would also spit out a small minion demon that was fairly annoying (I forget the exact details, I think it was something from MM2). This thing was great. It wasn't a super long fight, but the PCs were quite surprised to find their basic "mob it" didn't work so well as the fighter, then the cleric, were hurled into the woods and took a couple rounds to get back into the fight, and the rogue ended up unconscious UNDER the thing. The wizard was being harassed by minions, and overall it was just TOUGH for them to pin the thing down and stomp it. At the end they did finally drop a couple conditions on the beast, but the fight was short, sweet, and tense. [/QUOTE]
