Title says it all. Please don't read unless you've beaten the PL+5 fight in here.
My party of five players (myself included) just beat The Warden. Granted, it was not a vanilla fight. We had Free Archetype, Gradual Ability Boost and Ancestral Paragon on our side. We also had Apex items. Still, it was quite challenging.
The Warden was just nearly impossible to hit, even with the melee Strikers prebuffed with Heroism before we confronted him. He also had our Strikers Quandried, Grabbed and Restrained. It was only though some clever spell usage and 3 nat 20s in a row that we managed to do it.
Going in the GM did warn us that this was an impossible fight so I didn't expect to win. At the end of the day though in our Golarion The Warden is dead because a Taldan Guardian hit him really hard with a spade. I think that's an achievement worth recording down for posterity here.
Ask me anything about the fight and our party I guess and I'll talk about as much as I can without naming names. I'm doing my best to avoid Book 3 spoilers outside of this, so please don't spoil the rest of Book 3 in this thread.
