Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 5956050" data-attributes="member: 1210">So 6 pcs, an encounter budget of 12,000 xp?Here are a couple of options:Idea One: Hunting Party (12,000 xp)A hag and her rakshasa minions are pursuing a giant slug so that she can harvest its mucus for some haggy brew or other (or maybe as frosting for a hag cake). The pcs come upon the slug and its pursuers; but a couple of rounds after battle breaks out, the guardian treants emerge to defend the marsh and its inhabitants from the hag and her minions. This could easily turn into a diplomatic opportunity if you want.1 giant banana slug (see attached) (lvl 18 soldier) 1 dream hag (MM3 109) (lvl 19 controller)1 rakshasa warrior (MV 243) (lvl 15 soldier) 2 rakshasa archers (MV 244) (lvl 15 artillery) 2 treant grove guardians (MV 267) (lvl 18 brutes) Idea Two: Hydra Trouble (12,000 xp)A hydra has recently been roused to anger by a yuan-ti priest, who- along with his amphisbaena pet- is driving it towards [fill in appropriate target in civilization here]. This encounter does require you to update the yuan-ti stats to MM3 standards if you want it to be a good challenge. This encounter uses lower level monsters; while it should still be a decent challenge, using lower-level bad guys helps avoid a long, drawn-out combat.1 venom-maw hydra (MV 177) (lvl 17 solo brute) 1 yuan-ti malison disciple of Zehir (MM 270) (lvl 17 controller)1 amphisbaena (see attached) (lvl 15 elite soldier)EDIT: Even if neither of these encounters strikes your fancy, the attached doc has a ton of monsters from earlier editions that I've converted, so it's a good resource to throw things your pcs haven't faced in 4e at them.</blockquote>
