[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6870691, member: 97077"] I would suggest using [URL="http://kobold.club/fight/#/encounter-builder"]this tool[/URL] to set up parameters and produce random encounters. It's pretty fun to see the results and try to imagine a challenge involving what it gives you. Here are a couple of results based on a Mountain terrain for four 11th-level characters: [B]Medium Difficulty[/B] 2 Gnoll Fang of Yeenoghu 2 Yeti The yeti are slaves, fearing the ice demons that possess the gnolls. Together they hunt the PCs and try to drive them toward a precipice with a drop of 120 feet into an area of jagged ice shards. An exploration challenge of some kind or possibly the Chase rules can allow the PCs to avoid being driven into this bad position or even allow them to turn the tables on the hunters. The yeti use their Chilling Gaze to paralyze the PCs while the gnolls push them off the cliff onto the ice shards below. If the gnolls are killed, the yeti take the opportunity to flee if things are going badly for them. [B]Hard Difficulty[/B] 1 Cyclops 1 Medusa 2 Orc War Chiefs A cyclops carries a large, covered cage down a treacherous switchback trail. Inside the cage sits the medusa noblewoman Lady Slither who is being escorted by the orc war chiefs to a conclave of villains that takes place in the mountains on the night of the new moon. The medusa seeks to parlay with the PCs at first from behind her shade, ostensibly seeking no trouble from them, though it's clear the orcs desire blood. She tries to lure one of the PCs to the cage to receive her favor and promptly attempts to turn the fool to stone before ordering her brutes to attack. If the medusa believes she could lose her life, she tries to cut a deal, sharing the location of the conclave with the PCs in exchange for her life. Give it a try - it's a fun creative exercise!
