Message: <blockquote data-quote="Slit518" data-source="post: 6878618" data-attributes="member: 6803713">In a game I am running, which originally started with Hoard of the Dragon Queen, evolved into it's own story (the player's got bored of HotDQ).  I didn't dismiss anything the party did during HotDQ, I instead changed how it effects the new story.Anyways, the players are on a Dwarven run island (country sized), that also has populations of elves, goblins, and things like that.  Orcs are invading from the north.  The cultists have a secret island off base, they operate like a corporate office and all have plain names, such as Bob, Dave, Kevin, Jerry, etc...Anyway, the Dwarf of the group is debating on climbing a high mountain (the climb takes a few days) to reach a Dwarven kingdom.  He wants to inform them of the plight below, orcs invading, cultists, etc...  What he doesn't know, is that he will find the 3rd piece of the broken tablet, written in ancient dwarven, which gives him the remainder of the recipe to Throgren's (a god from Dwarven pantheon) Hammer.Anyway, he is a level 7 Mountain Dwarf Totem of the Bear Barbarian.  He has over 100 HP, his Str is 18, Dex is 13, and Con is 20.He wields a giant maul one-handed that deals 2d10 damage.  He also has a gauntlet called Throgren's Right Hand, which grants him a +2 to Armor Class, and a +2 Enchantment Bonus to any weapons wielded in that hand.  He also has a shield in his off-hand (total Armor Class 20).I don't mind him being this powerful, as I have allowed this.  What I want to do is run a gauntlet of foes he must face so he can recover an object (book, spy glass, magnifying glass, magic dust, etc...) that will translate the ancient dwarven text for him.I am debating on 5 levels, with each getting harder than the next.  What are some good obstacles, foes, etc... he should face on his way to the item?  What is the highest CR you think he should fight?  He takes half damage while in rage from all sources other than Psychic and those that override resistance.</blockquote>
