I know that this will be the only encounter of the day and I wanted it to be memorable. In addition to hob nobing with nobles (and knowing my players pissing them off) I decided that I wanted it to be a solo. BUT I just recently read Angry DM's thread on Boss Monsters which I highly recommend others read so I'm linking it here:<a href="http://angrydm.com/2010/04/the-dd-boss-fight-part-1/" target="_blank">The D&D Boss Fight (Part 1) | The Angry DM: D&D Advice with Attitude</a>And I thought I'd try my hand at making a memorable boss monster. Let me know what you think? What I should change? Add?
