[QUOTE="THEMNGMNT, post: 8146905, member: 6809274"] 111th session. Characters reached 20th level at the end. That was a major milestone in my nerd career. Pretty cool. Anyway, the PCs had entered the mind of an ancient silver dragon that was locked in a catatonic slumber by the Cult of Tiamat. Inside the dragon's dream, they found the dragon in Hell, bound with mystical wards, and tormented by Tiamat. As they worked to free the wards, Tiamat arrived in all of her CR 30 glory. The PCs had to split their focus between breaking the wards and fighting Tiamat. If slain in the dream, they would be unable to awaken in the real world. Tiamat is a murder machine. By the second round she had two of the PCs down and was virtually untouched. Soon only one PC was still standing. But that PC revived the bard, who used the healing powers from the Rod of Resurrection to get the other PCs back on their feet. The players broke the last mystical bond, freed the silver dragon, and awoke from the vision. It was awesome. Mostly, this session was a chance for me to take Tiamat for a spin and see how she matched up with 20th level characters. She's definitely a serious threat.
