Hey gang,
I have a question to pose to the collective here:
What to do with Nezzarin the Kyuss Knight at the entry of the Ziggurat of Kyuss?
It seems to me that any reasonable party of 13-14th level PCs can easily mow through the Knight by just using the Fly spell to go over the obsidian ring and then, while flying and after spotting the undead menace and his evicerator beetles, just hammer on them unmercilessly until dead (again).
I though about taking this option out by having a permanent Earth Bind spell active on the grounds inside the obsidian ring. What think you?
Otherwise, if I were Nezzarin and I saw the PC's flying over the ring, I'd high-tail it inside and call out the Eladrin, Archons and others. The problem with this is that playing the monster "smart" makes the encounter WAY challenging if not murderous.
Any ideas?
