I've just started DMing, so I'm not really up on creating multi-templated unholy, half-dragon, medusa harpies with levels in Oozemaster. So here's something with a different slant.
How about a LE ex-bard, assassin. He poses as a regular old bard who stumbled onto a treasure map (or some form of mystical doo-dad) which leads to magic and treasure and wants the PCs to help him get the lot. He should be level-adjusted to be a threat if they have to fight him and also have a means of hiding his true alignment. He ingratiates himself to the PCs and then steals a signature weapon from one of them and slips away. Assuming he gets away, said weapon shows up in the back of a local big shot. Divinations are remarkably inconclusive.
OK. That's more an adventure hook than an Encounter. So sue me.

It's funny you say that, cuz one of the players has really bad arthritis, and as a result doesn't sleep so well due to the pain. He occassionaly will nod off during gameplay... He is a great guy that takes our ribbing very goodnaturedly.

Well, since you asked! : Probably at about 1PM PST ... It might be a quick one,
so don't be late.
Copycat!MeepoTheMighty said:A troll cleric with Resist Elements (fire) and Resist Elements (acid) cast upon himself, along with as many buff spells as he can possibly cram in. Trolls are CR 5. Since cleric is a "nonassociated class" for a troll, a 6th level troll cleric should be CR 8, and prove to be near impossible to defeat for your party.
Ain't nonassociated classes fun? Why sic a human Rog10 on your party, if you could sic a Rog10 Red Dragon on them, at the exact same CR!? Very young red dragon is CR5, and you can add nonassociated classes up to it's HD (10) at 2-for-1 with respect to CR.
[Suggested houserule: only count nonassociated classes at 2-for-1 up to a creature's CR, not HD! Simply because there are creatures with CR < HD/2...]
