As Rackhir noted, the fight in the temple in Karrnath may have had more fights numerically (7, to be precise), but a lot less time was spent in combat, since most of those fights were vs. mooks who lasted 1 round. We tend to average only 1 fight a session, so the ones with the multiple fights stand out.Here's what they ran into:1 - One huge 22 HD advanced semi-pseudonatural delver (EL 13)2 - Six large 15 HD advanced stonesingers (CR 9 each, i.e. EL 14)3 - One gargantuan 25 HD advanced pseudonatural tendriculos with flight ability (EL 14)4 - Three athach Bbn1 (CR 9 each) and four water naga Sor3 (CR 10 each) (EL 15)I use the spontaneous metamagic 3/day rule from UA which lets prepared casters apply metamagic on the fly (and makes Nameless, Luna and Korm much scarier) without an increase in casting time and doesn't use higher level spell slots. So I give sorcerers a benefit to make up for the loss of spontaneous metamagic. When they apply a metamagic feat, it's capped by 1 less than it is for prepared casters. So a wizard capable of casting 5th lvl spells can empower a 3rd lvl spell, but a sorcerer capable of casting 5th lvl spells can empower a 4th lvl spell. This meant the nagas, though only capable of 5th lvl spells vs. the PCs' 7th lvl max, were slinging Maximized Scintillating Sphere (60 hp dmg, Ref half), Empowered Orb of Acid/Electric (52 hp dmg), Maximized Hailstones (2 touch attacks of 30 dmg each) and Maximized Sound Lance (80 hp dmg, Fort half). Even with the hit pts the PCs have, that could drop them very fast.See how kind I am? Actually, I've always had issues with DMs not giving PCs any info about the state of their enemies, and Nameless would have worked out that it was significantly weakened. Having to give birth to Luna (twice!) will do that to you.</blockquote>
