[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6032088, member: 42582"] Fair comment. The beholder encounter was primarily colour - a dynamic picture, plus a mechanically interesting monster, that I wanted to bring into the game. The hydra encounter was thematically richer, though, and I've tried to bring that out in the post above. The trigger for the encounter was the respective urgings of law and chaos, and this recurred in the contrast between the wild hydra and its organised guards, the PCs oscillating between order and fiasco, and the "page 42" events like the prayer, the intervention of the duergar, the invocation of chaotic forces, the negotiation over the shard of the Sceptre of Erathis, etc. Does that help?
