I had to fight that once as a third or fourth level party of 3. We had to fight with the wooden rod of an Earth Breaker (improvised weapon), Unarmed Strikes (as not monk) and someone that was constantly summoning in new weapons.
Good times.
Any creature with 15ft+ reach...... a superlative pain in the ass!

Kickstarter is all well and good, but surely the superheeo team use a Patreon campaign for running expenses?

Our GM created a ridiculously powerful magic sword that tended to wield its people. When the party Warblade picked it up, he failed his Will Save and nearly killed the party.
When we finally got the situation under control, we were left with a choice. We couldn't destroy the sword. If any of us picked it up or took possession of it in even the most abstract sense, they would start making Will Saves until they failed one. The only other option was to leave it where it lay, waiting for some random or not-so-random person to pick it up and work its mischief on the world. That is what we finally did.
Go back with about 50 pounds of lead ingots and a caster with fabricate that has an Int bonus of at least zero. Set lead ingots about the blade. fabricate crafts on take 10 a simple block of lead encasing the intelligent sword. If it can't move on its own accord, it gets no saving throw as the result is harmless. Now that it is safely ensconced in at least an inch think membrane of lead, go on an ocean cruise and huck that damned thing overboard when you're over the deepest part of the seas. Problem solved for, oh, a few centuries at least. ;)

You know, I saw a guy pull that off at a convention once. Full mask with some ink in a pattern, and an additional layer of invisible ink. The later would only show up as he exhaled, (warmth of his breath I think) so it was constantly shifting shapes.
"Your fireball explodes in a brilliant flash of light and a searing wave of heat. Everyone's ears are left ringing from the sudden and immensely loud sound that resulted. The room lies in shambles, scorched furnature litters the floor. [Fighter's] armor bears blackened scars, and she's missing most of the hair on her left side.
The Swarm seems unaffected. Next."

Sounds a lot like Stormbringer or Mournblade, from the Elric book series by Michael Moorcock. Truly evil weapons that constantly fought to control their wielders, or at least use them for their own ends.

Once he is away, they gather around and grab into the bag to try and pull it out.
They instead pull out a primal dragon.

I love it.... you could almost build an entire section on this. Little hints and clues.... seeing if any of the party could remember as to who this stranger was... ;))
That's very true! When I start the new campaign this fall I think I'll do just that!

102. The party, after having restored the family name of a dishonored nobleman, is invited to a banquet in their honor, to celebrate them. During part of the ceremony, surrounded by elite guards and other nobles, while the princess is bequeathing them with various honors, the party cleric steps back, pulls out a heavy crossbow, and starts loading it.
He was paranoid that something bad was going to happen.
The rest of the party was paranoid that he was mind controlled.
The GM was paranoid that his nice party was about to end in bloodshed.
It was an Oh F- moment for all!
That would be pretty interesting, too!

102. Congratulations team, you've defeated the dreaded lich lord. It was a long and tiring battle, but you have won.
His gear? A frost enhanced blade +5, an ice plate +3 and a helm of intellect +6 with the power to control undead.
...sure, you can claim it as loot, you could even put it on, if you feel like it.
(GM waits, and is not disappointed)
...You have put on the lich lord's equipment, and you feel quite beefy. In fact, you also feel the irrepressible urge to murder the living, as your flesh turns cold.
Roll for initiative....
