Eyes of Flame and Death

Beholder Eye of Flame

Encounter Level 13 (4400xp) This encounter is really suitable for level 10 or 11 characters, maybe level 12, if you are hoping it will provide a challenge. When I ran it (slightly different) the party went nova on the Beholder killing it in the first round. They did use a lot of their resources doing …

Fantastic Terrain Reference

Last night my players had a choice of going to the Shadowfell or going to the Feywild. I prepped the Feywild. They went to the Shadowfell. So I had to put together something on the spot essentially (the results of which will be up later this week made into a full paragon encounter). I wanted …

On the Edge of the Shadowfell – Part 1

The Great Hall With Tokens

In my campaign those stairs lead into the ruins of a dwarven town sacked hundreds of years ago by a force commanded by giants. Since then the complex has been considered haunted and is …
