[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5810149, member: 1210"] Here's a lvl 11 encounter for six pcs. The basic idea is that the pcs come upon a looted caravan, dead bodies, etc.; if they poke around, they discover that the caravan included a bunch of domestic drakes that are now spooked and angry, in part because they are being stalked by a group of derro who want to capture them (though the pcs may not immediately realize that; the derro begin the encounter hiding). Clever pcs may be able to calm or befriend the drakes with Diplomacy or Nature checks and reduce the difficulty of the encounter. Note that it is definitely worth updating the monsters from pre-MM3 sources to the new math. This is a 4100 xp encounter ([i]just[/i] shy of a lvl 12 for 6 pcs).
