It wasn't easy...but it is possible. We had five players and I think six or seven characters under their control. Lots of hit points to grind through! Here's how it happened: First, I had a few ancient dragons come at the PCs. They were quickly dispatched. Second, the PCs had to rescue an NPC, but the devils guarding him were illusory, so the PCs wasted some resources. Third, the real devils appeared and hit hard. They were led by Bel (CR 26 from Descent Into Avernus). Bel is a tough sonuvabitch. His ice devils managed to isolate the party ranger and trap him in a dome of ice. Then Bel teleported into the dome. Outmatched, the ranger fell. Bel teleported the ranger to his lair 500 miles away. The hordes of devils in the lair swarmed the ranger and killed him. Next session, the ranger was rescued and resurrected.That encounter was an ambushed planned by the villains, who had gotten sick of getting consistently stomped by the PCs.</blockquote>
