[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 5999624, member: 16221"] I'm considering how to run this, and I think I'm going to lower the encounter down to a tough Level 25 Solo, despite the Umbral devouring Space/Time, which you had for Thaumiel at 44 Elite. This would be an Avatar, or even a mere Aspect of the bigger devourer... a preview, so to speak. The reason for lowering it is because I was trying to decide the different stages for it's Super-Solo status, and decided that the quest to obtain the weapon to defeat it would cover the multi-stages I wanted instead. Since they are not epic yet, they won't be creating their own Shard Timelines, but one has been pre-created for them already in the plot, so they'll need to collect that. The difference between that timeline and this one are subtle, but a big difference is that in the Prime timeline, a devil summoned an aspect of the local god of rage in the form of the Tarrasque, while in the other timeline, the devil was defeated before the summoning could be completed. So I plan to rule that in order for them to get close enough to the other timeline in order to work with it, they'll first have to defeat the Tarrasque (I want them to fight it anyway, because I had a lot of fun designing it). So that's step 1. Step 2 will be forging the other timeline into a sword, which will involve facing the Zeitgeist of that timeline in the form of a powerful being. That I could make a level 20 supersolo, I think, equivalent to the tarrasque. Step 3 will then be fighting the Umbral, which I've tentatively statted as follows (wording may be awkward, but I'm just drafting at this point): [/QUOTE]
