[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7539357, member: 20323"] Sounds like you have a pretty good "encounter script" to play off of. :cool: Yeah that lava (~55 fire damage) + prismatic spray (~35 variable damage on failed save) could be brutal, depending on which of your gang's PCs are targeted. Makes sense you might keep the temporary hp. On a personal note, my players know that I'm introducing new material and modifying material to make ToA more fun for them. I've told them as much. For example, I invented a lot of my own stuff for Mezro and the jungle hexcrawl that they've had a blast with. I'm augmenting their return trip to Kir Sabal with a margoyle, magic missile-casting gargoyles, a bit of intrigue, and a skill challenge ascent made more perilous by the gargoyle vs. aarakocra/air elemental fighting. And I'm weaving Xandala into Nangalore to make it more of a challenge. I'm very likely going to modify the Acererak confrontation in a couple ways to suit our campaign (e.g. I've been foreshadowing him since early on). My players are just 6th-level but they're a savvy capable group, so I watch other DMs like yourself who are further along in ToA with great interest! [/QUOTE]
