My party completed Dragon Heist some time ago. The Cassalanters were one of their primary adversaries. The party reveled them as
, resulting in Ammalia and the two children fleeing town and Victoro getting captured by the authorities.
Since I love recurring villains (perhaps this is why my party rarely leaves anyone alive?!) I'm having Victoro escape Waterdeep with the help of
. Of course that help comes at a price, and I'm thinking to have Victoro transformed into a devil! So I'm looking to create a custom NPC and would love your help.
First, I want this to be a deadly encounter for the party. It will take place in the town of Leilon and I like the idea of resulting damage to the town (roleplaying for the party to re-establish the towns goodwill!) By the time this encounter happens, the party of 6 will be level 8. They have significant magic (one very rare item each, more rare and uncommon items) and can pretty much escape/flee when needed so a TPK should not happen except in very rare situations. I want them to win, but just barely. It will be a nova fight as they will be fully rested and it will be the only encounter of the day. Probably will start with an earthquake while the party is resting for the night in the tavern.
So, for the modified Victoro, I'm thinking an Ice Devil (or Marilith) with double hit points and adding some/all of Victoro's spells including earthquake, flame strike, insect plague, dominate person, freedom of movement, prot from energy, dispel magic, mirror image. Also might add the marilith's teleport ability. And then having a summoned Barbed or Bone devil for support.
Does this sound balanced? Fun?
