My players will be entering a final boss wave for their final confrontation with the leader of this remote sect of a death cult who is performing a ritual to collect pure soul essence from a planar scar that connects to the Shadowfell. The boss, a Drider Lich, is currently inaccessible behind a magical barrier, and several cultists and undead are guarding four pillars that are currently keeping the sentient undead of the area, specifically those not controlled by the cult, from disrupting their plans.
The party’s goal is to destroy these pillars in order to allow some of their newly acquired undead allies to come and assist in taking down the cultists, who have several huge monsters on their side, including a massive kaiju sized undead worm monster made entirely of the bones of the cultist’s many victims. Every round more undead and demonic creatures will summoned to halt the character’s advances, causing the group to have to juggle damaging the pillars to destroy them, and mowing down the enemies in order to not get overwhelmed. The Lich won’t properly enter the combat until the pillars are down, which is when her protective barrier will fall and she attacks the party herself while the cultist and their undead/demons fight against the character’s allies in the background.
The Lich will be using a mix of typical undead spells as well as various insect themed spells. She will also around half health summon a demonic flying spider-like creature which will be used as a mount and possible escape option should things get dicey for her.
