The other two will be all new for this adventure.For the first session I'm shooting mainly for encounters which are tough but comfortably beatable, giving them a chance to strut their stuff and me to see exactly how effective they are. I think for the final encounter of the first session I'll be using a bunch of demons with class levels. Hezrou barbarian, vrock fighter, babau rogue, etc.  I have the second session all planned out and I expect to seriously be bringing the pain. Funny - I've thought of doing a nightcrawler too, or maybe a couple of nightwalkers. Unfortunately, since this group was set up for a catch-up game over the summer while I was gone, the PCs were allowed a whole lot of stuff I wouldn't normally use. Very high stats, for one. I also believe they're all walking around with Rings of Blinking, permanent Death Ward items (Soulfire armor, I think), etc. So any undead are going to be at a significant disadvantage. That's also partly the aim behind this little exercise. I want to see if I can give the players an interesting challenge despite their PCs' overpowered nature, and esp. do so while using encounters of a reasonable CR (it's no challenge to roll them over with more powerful enemies).Now that I come to think of it, nightwalkers and nightshades can both use greater dispel magic at will, and they'd automatically succeed at supressing the Soulfire armor.
