Vecna's Sarcophagi is a suit of golem armour that acts as the immortal's phylactery. The armour must be destroyed before Vecna can be injured. Vecna can attack through the armour normally of course and the Sarcophagi Golem attacks of its own accord (at Vecna's direction). 2. Strike Team: Anyone penetrating that far into Vecna's defenses will face a select bunch of handpicked villains. Basically Vecna's champions. This could be an eclectic bunch of evil NPCs and monsters individually almost on a par with the PCs themselves. Given Vecna is a God of Secrecy I'd just try and pick the most obscure combinations of monsters, classes and templates you could think of...Sentient Arcane Ooze Alienist, Half-Bone Golem/Half Shadow Dragon Warlock, Ghost Shambling Mound Cavalier mounted on a Vampire Treant Nightmare, Two-headed Beholder with awakened blackstone gigant body.3. Battlefield: Naturally this will work to Vecna's advantage. How about a Graveyard of Knowledge where PCs lose one spell each round (randomly determined) which Vecna gets to cast himself as a swift action? Or the entire area populated by swarms of crawling claws and eyes of fear and flame.4. Reinforcements: If the battle is going badly for Vecna from the get-go, he could call for some reinforcements to run interference. These beings would be weaker than the strike team and probably just about good enough to delay the heroes, not defeat them.</blockquote>
