[QUOTE="Gwarok, post: 7472658, member: 12249"] So, the party is a 15th Level Warlock(Infernal Bladelock), 14th Level Paladin(Devotion w/high AC and flaming hammer). Mission goal is retrieve a lost elven sword from a badass Fey Troll in his cave. The bad guy is a tweaked troll, one from the Feywild. I've read a lot of the [I]Dresden Files[/I] and like their take on Fairie Folk. The PC's have penetrated the outer defenses, 3 Green Hags + 2 Shambling Mounds outside the cave, a network of twisting tunnels populated by Ettercaps and Phase Spiders, and the front guard room containing 20 trolls. The Hags and Mounds were almost fatal to our heroes oddly enough. Multiple Lightning Bolts casters combined with grappling by things healed by Lightning bolts ftw! The ettercaps and spiders were just a cool fight but easily handled, and the Trolls, well. I thought the PC's would sneak past them using a Pass Without Trace from the Dryad they saved from the spiders, but instead they stood in the doorway and just tanked them down over a long time. Fire Wall in a long tunnel is particularly effective against trolls lemme tell ya. But now I'm taking suggestions for the rest of the dungeon. The BBEG Troll is going to have a high CHA and caster levels, but on the current floor things are run by his Lieutenant, a Spirit Naga. I wanted to use evil pixies and Sprites in the fight as the pixie's in numbers can be very difficult and after whupping on 20 trolls clearly a straight up slugfest isn't the way to keep things interesting. Just taking suggestions on how to use non standard monsters and make it like an evil fairie dungeon(monstrosities are in the mix too). Thinking of things like gorgons, displacer beasts, Redcap, maybe Winter Eladrin, but coming up short on any ideas that really stand out as memorable. So, any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
