My game last night did not go to plan (best laid plans and all that...). An impromptu B-Day dinner scuppered the long game I had planned.
And a little niece - four year old - decided to play Dice and Monsters with us, it mostly involved throwing dice at people.
Still the party explored the central area and they now know about the "Guardian", but not nothing about what it is. They are going to start gathering the objects.
I had decided to scrap the dragon - or save it for the Seven Pillared Hall and the showdown with Murklemor (I think I might have killed Paldemar, but that is another story) - and I was going to use a Goristro. The Well of
Demons should have a bad ass demon as the BBEG.
Swarm of Dretches certainly got my attention!
A quick search revealed an official 4E conversion document:

Seeing that it is for 7th level, this may just slot in perfectly with my Heroic Tier script:

Back to
Thunderspire: while there is room for the Huge swarm in the center of the Well of Demons, leaving that area would involve squeezing. Anyone know if that woul'd negatively impact the encounter?
Try the Wretched Tide, Swarm of Dretches.
A swarm of demons sure fits the theme for the Well of Demons better than a young green dragon.
Yes I'm think that now. I think I want to make it a little more of a controller. I might redo it in the MB. I'll post whatever I make here.
I think there are special rules for swarms and squeezing. If not, there will be for my game. A swarm should be able to swarm anywhere.
The key is to get a mobile foe so that he makes the PCs engage all the traps in the area. Personally I think you should also get one that slows/immobilizes and flings people around so that he can make some good use of that nasty rolling ball.
Yeah, this is what I'm thinking. Maybe I'll give the swarm a fly speed. Now I have time I shall don my thinking cap.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
