Im about to run the Festival events, what extra events did .people run that they made up , please share.

So far my party most impressive momment was in Jzadirunne, The Dark Stalker hero, Cast Fog cloud, and dissapeared , and the Begiuler cast Ghost sound , and copied the sound of the Grell from a previous encounter which scared the crap out of the Stalker and most of the Party. forcing the Stalker out of the fog to be shot with a volley crossbow bolts.

For example the party was in Jzadurinne and decided that we dont need keys those are for lesser beings. We have a Orc and would pump the orc up with Bull strength and other powers and he would just break the door down.

does anyone have any ideas to help slow them down in drakthars way i have thought about Beefing up Drakthars stats, and also improving the goblins stats to make it more enjoyable for the party.

I have only been DMing for a year any advice would be greatly appricated

An Orc Barbarian probably SHOULD be a high damage dealing killing machine... if you want to challenge him I would suggest possibly throwing some encounters at the party after the barbarian has used up all his Rages for the day, and/or some drawn out combat encounters (such as enemies falling back for a few rounds and then regrouping) so that his rage runs out and he is fatigued.

Beefing up the stats of enemies often works, just make sure you dont then make them too challenging for the other players. But if you think the main enemy of an adventure will go down in a couple of rounds to the barbarian, then beefing him up is probably a good idea.

Be sure to throw in some other challenges that can't be solved by a high strength score, to give your other players a chance to shine.

Thanks MothMan, that advice will be well used,the party is about to face Drakthar in Drakthars way, I have Beefed up the stats for some of the goblins and for Drakthar , i have increased Hit points, should i therefore put the CR up id prefer not to because the party is already as i said around Lvl 5 and leveling very quickly.

I may be planning to try to dominate the Orc barbarian with Drakthar, that may prove to be very interesting.
:)

my party other than Ecl are all level 5 now and they are approaching the end of drakthars way i also feel that they must be finding it way to easy
