Seems like the big thing hurting these guys is that the PCs get all the set-up time they want, while the demons just get the word "Go" out of stasis or whatever they're in. So I'd guess Felgunnt didn't get a chance to set up his Unholy Aura... nor jump to distance and use greater dispel magic (not that the other ablities would have a chance at those DCs).

Maybe I'm spoiled 'cause Jester-baddies usually are so well prepped.

Yeah, the real danger in this room was a terrible trap or two that the pcs blithely wandered past without triggering.

Check out this one:

WEIGHT OF THE WAIT
Transmutation
Spellcraft DC: 48
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 day
Range: See text
Effect: See text
Duration: Until triggered
Saving Throw: Fort partial (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes (see text)
To Develop: Seeds: Time (DC 30), afflict (DC 14). Factors: Contingent on special trigger (+25), change from personal to area (+15), 20’ radius (+2). Mitigating factors: increase casting time to 1 day (-22),10d6 backlash damage (-10), expensive material component (-8).

Casting weight of the wait requires you to prepare a special parchment with a clay seal (the material components of the spell). The clay seal must contain a pinch of ash from a magical tome, libram, or manual (a timeless work) worth at least 20,000 gp wholly destroyed in a fire by you. Once the spell is cast the sealed parchment begins to collect temporal energy. The spell stores three out of every four minutes that pass in a 20-foot radius. Creatures within this area do not notice anything strange near the scroll, although everything beyond the radius is obscured in a luminous gray haze. To those outside of the radius, objects and beings within appear frozen in place, as unmoving as statuary. The storage process slows down time, which flows only one-quarter as fast within the area of effect as it does outside.

If the enchanted scroll at the spell’s center is moved more than 10’ beyond its position at the time of casting, or if the seal is broken, the weight of all the accumulated time is released. Everything within a 20’ radius is immediately aged. For example, if an enchanted scroll had been accumulating time for 1000 years before opening, everything within 20’ is suddenly aged 750 years. A living being that makes its save ages only 1/20 as much as a creature that fails its save (in this case about 37 ½ years). Any creature whose age exceeds his allotted time dies.

Nonliving matter and magical effects are affected by the temporal burst as well. In the above example, spells with durations other than permanent likely run out, a torch would burn through its fuel in an instant, food will spoil, etc.

Not quite a Bile Lord, but I like your story so much I figured I'd prep an agent of law encounter for you. I kind of went all out a bit, but I figured the PCs are quite a bit higher level since they faced Acererak in the story now. Didn't make his cohort, but I'd figure something along the lines of an Inevitable, and I mem'd for him 2 Shield Others, which he'd definately have up on any allies. If you decide to use him, feel free to modify him as much as you like. Enjoy!

Tactics: Simple: get in melee with as many people as possible, attacking and boosting up his stacks, taking AoOs and using Sweeping Strike to the best of his advantage. He can take quite a bit of damage melee wise and is near caster-impervious. When he takes 100 damage or so, he can use Hostile Empathic Transfer to deal that much damage and heal it back. Aim for lawful targets, using his Smites for some initial attacks to boost up his Str some more. Use Deep Impact in conjunction with Chain of Force and a Smite, preferably.

 

[the Jester]

Sollir, that's awesome!! Thank you so much!

I may just have to use that thing sometime....

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

I'm really glad you like him

Here's one of the ideas I had for a companion (he'd still prolly have another Inevitable follower as his leadership feat cohort, to make things a complete encounter) I got bored...

Challenge Rating: 21
Treasure: Seygram’s Mask, Black Robe of the Archmagi
Alignment: Lawful Evil

Spells Known (Per Day: 6/9/9/8/8/8/8/6/4)
1-Enlarge Perosn, Magic Missile, Ray of Enfeeblement, Shield, True Strike
2-Blindness/Deafness, False Life, Ghoul Touch, Protection from Arrows, Spectral Hand
3-Fly, Magic Circle Against Chaos, Slow, Vampiric Touch
4-Crushing Despair, Enervation, Fear, Scrying
5-Dismissal, Seeker Missiles, Sending, Wall of Force
6-Circle of Death, Greater Dispel Magic, Greater Heroism
7-Finger of Death, Planeshift, Waves of Exhaustion
8-Horrid Wilting

Description: Most of Malrack’s features are obscured by the black robe he wears, it’s hood revealing only a malicious, masked face. The two slits in his mask glow a dark red, and while casting spells, his frail, bandaged arms are often revealed.

Seygram’s Mask: This tiny mask is a miniature replica of a Horned Devil’s head. It has two large, jagged horns sticking out to the side, with many smaller, gruesome spikes jutting out of its face, which seems to fit a humanoid-type face. A Lawful Evil creature wearing the mask gains a +6 enhancement bonus to Charisma, and gains all the spell-likes of a Cornugon.

Tactics: Use the PC’s own against them! Sortta. Please note the Permanent Emanation of Antilife Shell, which should make things very complicated for anyone not-him =) (He used a scroll of Wish to cast the original Antilife Shell). Minor Artifact included for fun-ness, although you can easily take it out if its too much treasure. Combat wise Despair is quite nasty mixed with Waves of Exhaustion, Horrid Wilting, Seeker Missiles ;-), Mass Crushing Despair and Mass Blindness/Deafness. Buffwise he’d attempt to keep Shield and Protection from Arrows on himself, with False Life and Greater Heroism on himself and all his companions, adding much to their effectiveness. He’s not afraid to use his mask to Greater Teleport, should thinks go awry, however =)

 

[the Jester]

So I'm probably going to be posting a number of npcs who may never actually surface in the story hour... but are important in case they do. And are important for me to keep track of for background/backstory reasons.

Organization: Unique
Challenge Rating: 28
Treasure: Standard
Alignment: Neutral evil
Advancement: By character class
Level Adjustment:-

Some sort of living flame stands before you. Though its form flickers and dances, it maintains recognizable features, looking similar to a human or elf made of fire.

Kembrin is the ruler of the crimsonkindl, a powerful, war-like race of fire elementals from a place called the Crimson Garden on the Elemental Plane of Fire. The crimsonkindl consider themselves to be superior to other fire elementals, and would like nothing better than to elevate one of their own to the title of Archomental. Kembrin’s ambitions are strong, and he exerts his control over the crimsonkindl ruthlessly.

Combat

Kembrin is capable of a wide variety of different combat forms. Against prime opponents, he will typically open combat with his spell-like abilities. He gets great joy from burning things, and prefers to destroy his enemies in melee combat whenever possible. Kembrin is gradually learning to let others do his fighting for him, but he prefers to be in the thick of things whenever possible.

Command Fire Elementals (Su): 9/day Kembrin can attempt to gain control over fire elementals in its vicinity. This works just as if he was a cleric turning undead, except it affects only elementals with the fire subtype and affected elementals are commanded (just like undead commanded by an evil cleric).

Spell-Like Abilities: At will- fireball, fire trap, flame jump, invisibility, pyrotechnics, see invisibility, wall of fire; 3/day- detect thoughts, displacement, fire storm, fly, haste, meteor swarm, persistent image; caster level 24th; save DCs 18 + spell level. The DCs are Charisma-based.

Weapon-Like Attacks: Kembrin's natural attacks should be treated as manufactured weapons for purposes such as iterative attacks and as both natural and manufactured weapons for purposes of what spells they may be subject to.

Skills: Crimsonkindl get a +10 racial bonus on Balance, Climb and Jump checks.

Epic Feats

A few epic feats from my campaign, still in developement. They may need some tweaking- some of the bonuses should maybe be larger, I dunno yet, I'm still feeling out epic play. Anyway, here's a selection of some of my epic feats! I have a bunch more but they tie in to prestige classes- I think I've weeded those out of this list.

ADDITIONAL ATTACK [Epic]

[EldonG]

Jester...I'm just now finding your thread...and I must say...it's sweet, in a wonderfully sick kinda way!

I'd like to know something...your 'bile' template...which I adore (in a very similar 'sick' way)...would you allow it to be used in a published product? I'm writing some epic scenarios...and I'm something of a template fiend...I could *so* use it!

I'd like to know something...your 'bile' template...which I adore (in a very similar 'sick' way)...would you allow it to be used in a published product? I'm writing some epic scenarios...and I'm something of a template fiend...I could *so* use it!

Sorry, I have mmm plans is too strong of a word, intentions for it (as far as publishing stuff goes). Otherwise I would, however- and I definitely appreciate the thought!
