Well, then you should go as a Viking! :P
And I still get carded. Well, not if I'm out with the family. The kidlet is ten. People can do that math. But if I go out with friends I get carded every time. I don't look that young. Ah well. There are worse problems to have. :)
The Viking is what the fallback /always/ is. Probably gonna do it this year too! :D
Worse problems! Like Soupbeard! Gah! It's getting too long! Unwieldy hair!
MOAR RP posts, plz. Less costume chit chat! :D

I was thinking this might be a bit easy for them.
Yeah, alone that would be a walk in the park for them, but if you also had a few slightly lower CR goons it will be a much better challenge. Generally speaking it's easier to challenge PCs with a group of enemies instead of one on its own. And it's totally realistic for a patrol to consist of multiple creatures.
will probably add several (i.e. about 50-100) Babau's as foot soldiers also, i plan on harassing them with terrain and weather conditions.
also the main bad guy will be watching while they fight to see weaknesses for later.
A good added trick with that level to drop null magic areas in there, not all over the place just in there path in a trap kind of way, then they have to make a call on fighting in place or falling back to fight, I had a game like that and it was great fun just working out how to pull the bad guys out the Null magic area. Had to do some real tactical thinking and not just charge in.
I believe the Witch King is a Nercomancer Follower of Orcus.
Capt Wombat's suggestion is a good one, especially if such a zone/field happens to be triggered after the area is passed.
I would look through the Bestiaries and find monsters immune to cold, but that posses solid abilities that can at the least harass and agitate the heroes, while dealing with the dragon itself.
Course, if you can't find anything out the box so to speak, there's a few templates from Reign of Winter that I believe grant cold immunity, that you can then just slap on any creature you so desire.
What is the party composition
Does the big bad or anyone under his employ have necromancy of
Craft Construct?
we got a
fighter 10/paladin 20 (AasimarAasimar half-celestial Cleric 20 / Oracle 7
an arcane archer (can't remember the full breakdown)
and a rogue type very stealthy type.
main bad guy #1:
Male Boreal Human, Dream Eater Lich Agent of the Grave 5 Demoniac 10 Sorcerer (Wildblooded) 15
Main Bad guy #2:
Demon Lord Orcus (The full blown Demon lord) and his main general
Main Bad Guy #3
Tiamat (herself not an aspect)
I used to like having bad guys explode on death, hehe always slows the mad rush to kill down.
Kick Ass 2 was fantastic by the way. Liked it very much.
I had an epiphany in the theater though...
Midori is /totally/ based on Hit-Girl. I mean, she's deviated from it... but a little girl trained as a killer, and taking pride in it (though Midori is conflicted of course)? Pretty sure I derived that from the movie.
Doh >_<
You could maybe drop in a couple of these with varying elemental types.
Could be any element so cold immune is a possibility.
Make one lightning element for Lewis Cameo. ;D

:) use demon archers with skeletal warlock support to pepper them with damage from afar (top of tower) while they fight the dragon below...

and the jabberwok could in turn be half fiendish (throw on fiendish for good measure)
Or giant & advancedOf half fae
Or mighty
Or diamond or any number of different templates
It could even have class levels
Toss a few of these guys up high (Arrow Demons) give them some of These, These, These :D and as bodyguards... These Cold Based Demension Doorers who can go up and down the twoer at will
@Renkai: It /is/ technically a tablet. Some people just call them datapads because that sounds more 'tech'....
I think I'm gonna start referring to my tablet at home as a datapad. ;)

It may technically be a tablet... but Everyone always refers to it as a datapad... all the way from the beginning...
and now its being called a tablet.... by a very non tech oriented character....
hey guys thanks for the advice.
I like the winterwights will probably open with that. the dragon is supposed to be an observer and move in after the party has depleted resourses fighting the minions.
also I remembered one of the other party members --- pictue Renkai as a female, in a a typical anime schoolgirl uniform with swords.
Right. I imagine most of the school calls them tablets, but Professor Sunwake (among others) call it a datapad, and folks (Ehos in particular) have followed suit.
I'm actually pretty sure it has been called a tablet before somewhere in the logs, at least a few times.

Pretty sure there's a world of difference between using tablet vs power points. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Melody's datapad / tablet has been timelord modified so it is more than a standard datapad / tablet.
Ghalen just calls his a 'pad'. Well, when he had one.
I call them "CyberFaxes" like willam Gibson who invented the idea and Peter Hamilton's mindstar rising got the idea down pat
Tybs calls them techy-pad-things. He doesn't have the best grasp on technology.

Well, given that he is a 'non tech oriented character', it is not too terribly surprising that he is mixing up the names for them/using the wrong names for them, now isn't it.

Hmm. If it has I missed it. It is a bit weird. I know it's a tablet to us, but that's not the setting specific term and it does sound a bit jarring...I mean where aside from the player accidentally metagaming would the character pull the term tablet from? It's not really that natural of a name for it even though its what we're used to. Anyhow I thought Aananda got the term from Tamrin in the first place since I thought the data pad was actually empire tech she copied and improved though not much. It was already good the way it was.

Arrow demons on high will give the party a bloody nose, the skeletal warlocks have infinity clips, and all get height advantage bonuses.
Winter weights were for melee range protection
Also not meaning to be snarky in last post. Legitimately asking why someone would use the term tablet outside of metagaming reasons. I'm not seeing it, but am willing to admit that I may be overlooking some perfectly good logic as to why that name might be used.
Technically a tablet is anything that size and shape you can write on. They had tablets in ancient Egypt.
Not all that big of a jump, really.

Does this sword make my hands look manly? I don't like this at all! Where are my stilettos...?"
*does a dynamic entry kick and pierces minion's throat*
Like ewwwwwwwws!"
She did, yes. Or should I say, Lyn did lol.
Not sure how much was alterted tween the old 2009 game and this one, but Tamrin used his datapad, and called it such, when he showed Aananda about stars.
Course stuff migha been changed since, but Lyn would remember that term likely n use it, if Aananda did not.
Well, there's folks from all over the multiverse here. Phaeze may have overheard someone call it a tablet and the name stuck.
Mostly though, if we have to etymologically source all our words, we are going to have a /huge/ mess.
