Im trying to design an adventure for my players and I'm trying to figure out the hardest thing they could fight at their level. They are a balanced party of 11th lvl characters, and will be fighting a CR 13 Advanced Huge Clay Golem. They will have almost no preperation time. Do you think this is too hard? It seems tougher than CR 13 due to its 15 foot reach, and DR 10/adamantine AND bludgeoning. I have a few contigencancies to save them from a party wipe and was just wondering what other people think.
On top of that, what would you say is the highest CR that this party could face? The DMG makes a CR +1 or 2 over the PC's level sound really deadly, but anything less is a push over.
