Exactly!If you're familiar with The Rise of Tiamat at all, you'll know that the Cult Strikes Back episodes are extremely barebones. They basically just give you some building blocks and say "Here, create your own scenario", which is fine, given the open-endedness of the context. So this is my attempt to flesh it out a little.With the previous episode, I had the city of Everlund come under attack, and the PCs fought off their attackers on one of the city's bridges, with dragons doing occasionally breath weapon flybys but no real hazards or interaction with the populace of the city. It was just a straight-up fight with some bad guys on a bridge.These are the opponents I've picked out for the attack:*a CR 5 Red Wizard enchanter*a CR 9 Red Wizard abjurer*two CR 5 mezzoloths*a CR 7 kenku dragonsoulIf needed, I can bring in some lower ranked cultists as reinforcements, but I'd like to mix things up a bit with some environmental effects and moral dilemmas. Rather than just have more cultists for them to kill, they can dodge falling buildings, crash-landing dragons, and flaming carts. Rather than being able to focus all their attention on their would-be assassins, they can be distracted by imperilled bystanders and the like.</blockquote>
