my party is going to come up on hetuath the leader of the skeletons.
I know he has 4 arms but does he get 4 attacks? and how should my players identify how to put him and his skeletons down for good? any ways to subtly lead the players to drag his corpse int the desert?
4 arms means yes, gods help the party, he gets 4 attacks a round. My advice would be subtly encourage them to engage in hit and run tactics, get information, get themselves out of there. Odds are he has the capability to absolutely wreck them, so I'd advise unless you're looking for a TPK, go a little easy on them.
The most likely scenario, rather than dragging them all the way outside, is they're going to have restored power to the Habitat Module before fighting hetuath, so if they do manage to kill him, then that's their problem solved immediately. You might also want to play up the tragedy of the Kasatha's situation. If any of the party recognize the symbol of Zyphus, they may be able to piece together that these things got screwed over, and might even try and communicate with hetuath. If they do, try and play up his insanity, his regret, and how he longs for his sky that was taken from him.
What is honestly the most likely however is that the party turns on the habitat module, kills the skeletons/hetuath, and they just never get up again.
Thanks,
i have had the party attacked by multiple iterations of the skeletons and they know they regen every 26 hours.
