I've got an unusual scenario in a D&D (Pathfinder) adventure I'm working on. The PCs liberate the dying god of misfortune, an emaciated, almost spent creature with no followers. He's on his last legs. I was thinking it would be interesting to create an end encounter that is entirely overwhelming to the party, but which could be survived with the help of this god.
The key is to find a sweet spot that's not too hard but not too easy. They're 2nd level, so I was thinking a lot of low level guys and one leader to prevent any one creature from massively killing a party member. Any thoughts on what kind of modifiers this god could provide to keep it interesting? It could be a negative to the bad guys, a luck bonus to the good guys or if this is too complicated, he could intervene at certain times (deus es machina justified for a change). What would you suggest?
