In the first wave, it was a total setup/ambush which unleashed two dragons, giants, and elite drow on the party simultaneously upon Llolth's disappearance.In the second wave, it was yochlol's and web golems.  The yochlols formed a ring around the outside (ranged) and all used a "shield other" effect which triggered their abilities to protect Llolth.  The web golems were deadly brutes that hit like a Mac Truck, and were up tight causing havoc with anyone in melee.  Also, tactically I was BRUTAL to the healers.It was outstanding.  No doubt, 4e created a core-playset, that with limited prep, offered a high-level, and beautifully balanced (challenging) encounter as good or better than any epic tabletop RPG experience I've had.</blockquote>
