I think the end spawn on this was made way too hard.

It also would have been nice if there was a note that this had been updated.

We tried running it tonight not knowing it had changed, and wiped hardcore.

Once I noticed there were now guards and a buffed boss I managed to get shield/bark/speed/stoneskin going and still got torn to pieces, despite healing support. +16 ab on the guards, +18 on the boss, hitting into the 50s for damage on crits.

Orin died just looking at them.

We were:
10 fighter
9 rogue
8 ranger

Did you use the doorways? Did you consider using the ranger’s animal companion to distract/aid dps? Did your wizard not have improved invisibility or displacement?

Why did orin go in first if he is your squishy?

Did the rogue not use wands?

Did you not use blur?

I’ll watch a boss room run today once i am home

Was thinking about this, and I think the real problem was just that we were caught off guard, and immediately put into “oh shit” mode.

Maybe just add a big old pile of bones with a monster statue outside the door as an in character warning that it’s a murder room, and it probably doesn’t need to be changed.

We did not use the doorway. I think we would have been fine if we did.

Boss has different power levels to account for player levels, using the door helps keeping party alive.
