Our group is currently embroiled in an "end days" sort of campaign, and through a series of NPC encounters in a previous session, we learned that there was an attack force of demodands hot on our trail. One NPC was able to share the exact number and composition of the 'final' demonic attack force which has now arrived and it is:

12 Tarry Demodands
3 Slimy Demodands
1 Shaggy Demodand

We have encountered a fair amount of Tarry already and they were ....unpleasant, to say the least.

Our group consists of 7 characters (if everyone shows up to play) of an average level of 14. It's a well-mixed group, with a 'tank' fighter, bard, sorcerer/fighter, cleric, archer-based rogue, wizard/cleric, and wizard (mainly transmutation spells). We have the usual sort of healing and other magic gear.

Yes, the question I'm asking is: does the impending monster encounter seem a bit heavy or, strictly by the numbers, does it seem 'challenging yet fair'? We have a short time to prepare for the battle; the demon force has arrived and sacked the town we are hiding in.....erm.....protecting, so we will march out to meet them in our next session.

Just curious to hear opinions, not looking for tactics or strategy, since I want to play out the scenario, but worry that the DM might be a little over-zealous in his desire to wipe us out.

Thanks.


Is there a rule regarding casting a spell onto an existing ioun stone?

For example, can a character with an ioun stone orbiting his head cast light on it so that he doesn't have to carry a lantern or torch?

Could a wizard cast silence on an ioun stone orbiting around an ally's head in order to help that allied fighter rush an enemy wizard (in order to possibly negate the enemy wizard's spells that require a verbal component)?

There may be other examples - probably more creative ones - but the point of the question was to find out if there is a mechanic for such an action...like a DC to successfully do it or a rule that would negate such an action.

Thanks!
