Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sword of Spirit" data-source="post: 6537217" data-attributes="member: 6677017">I need to kill some characters (in good fun). Last night was intended to be the final session of our Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign. The party had done everything else, and our final night was going to be challenging the dragon. To make a long story* short, due to one or two misjudgments on her part the battle turned from the dragon playing with her food to barely escaping with her life. I need to make sure that doesn’t happen for the rematch next session. The triumphant 4th level party will be 5th level for the rematch. I’m planning on having the dragon recruit some subservient allies through a combination of intimidation and offers of payment, and was planning on having her fortify her lair and environs. I’d like the encounter odds to look something like this:80%     Party slays dragon, defeats or drives off minions, at least two members of the party end up dead10%     Party wins with 0 to 1 fatalities (cleric has revivify to help with this)10%     TPK Here is what the party looks like:Tiefling Fighter (Eldritch Knight)Human Cleric (Life)Dragonborn Rogue (Arcane Trickster)Drow Wizard (Transmuter)Human Monk (Open Hand)Human Sorcerer (Wild Mage) They rolled well for stats and optimization level is normal (stats went where they made sense but no one is looking for loopholes or synergies). So a large, well-balanced party with above average stats. 5th level will be a significant power increase. I’m looking for a large encounter to really make them sweat. The plan is for her and her minions to be expecting them when they arrive at her tower a couple of weeks after their previous encounter. How would you go about meeting these encounter goals? Staying in Thundertree would be an ideal scenario.  *Story in next post for those interested.</blockquote>
