Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

[Piratecat]

You guys notice? Tao planeshifted part of it to the Beastlands. Kellharin has already had someone retrieve it... it is his favorite pet, after all!

It'll take a long time to regrow, though. He's less than half the ooze he used to be.

 

[Jeremy]

Of course that poor schmuck got the "And Jack.. Remember.. You *wheeze* are my number one *wheeze* guy."

Oh, and if you see any 40 ft. unicorns, run.

 

[Fade]

They could planeshift to the beastlands every night, teleport to a specific area, and have Velendo gate them back in the morning. Means no Miracle, but they do get a single stationary area they can centralise all their defences on (like that one casting of forbiddance).

 

[Fade]

Also, if it's Kelharin's favourite pet, why does he have only one of it? Get some ghouls to chop at it for a bit, exponential growth as each bit splits, hundreds of the things. They'd all be small, but 100 puddings should be able to put on more kilograms/day between them than just one - greater surface area for osmosis. You'd need to feed it a lot, but with all the overrunning the White Kingdom is doing that shouldn't be a problem.

 

[JacktheRabbit]

That would not be a good idea.

You still have to feed all those Puddings. I would imagine that one of the great weaknesses of the White Kingdom is feeding itself. Imagine feeding tens of thousands of ghouls each day. Then add in the Ghasts, Vampires, and any other undead in their midst that have to feed. The strain on the Kingdom must be severe at times.

Gah!

Can't believe I missed that.

DOD are gonna have one heck of a final battle, aren't they ....look at all o' th' old friends!

 

[Nail]

That ooze is still an ooze, not an outsider. He can still come back.

Nope. He's an outsider. That's what comes with the fiendish template....right? And if not...What's up wit' that?!

 

[Knight Otu]

I think you are mixing the fiendish creature and half-fiend templates.

The half-fiend becomes an outsider, the fiendish creature becomes a magical beast at best.

Okay, Vampires HAVE to feed.

Does any other type of undead truly NEED to feed, though? I mean, they're undead. Some undead have abilities powered by feeding, or become stronger from feeding, but I always thought that ghouls, ghasts, and other things that go bump in the night LIKE to feed on the living but don't actually need to do so.

Of course, I suppose that depends somewhat on PCs view of the world and it's ecology.

Which reminds me, PC... Are the True Ghouls willing to give up all living allies and all the vampires? I mean, if they wipe the surface of the world clean of the living to ensure their survival, then what will they eat? The animals will all die out or be transformed rather quickly... Especially under the weight of a White Kingdom that has expanded to fill the entire globe!

Imagine if Sluuth had been a half-fiend, and was granted a Wis boost from 1 to 8... then he'd be tossing around Blasphemy, Destruction, Horrid Wilting ...
