Hello!
My group is about to start Book 5, "The Slave Trenches of Hakotep."
I want the final battle at the end of the book, where they have to fend off the ossumentals while the Pharoah's Key is charging up and preparing to tear down Hakotep's flying tomb, to be different, epic, and rigorous. However, it's a five-minute stretch of time, but I don't want to run a 50 round combat.
For context, I have a 6 player party made up of a Paladin/Monk, a Paladin, a Unicorn Bloodline Sorcerer, a Warpriest, and a Fighter/Wizard (who specializes in riding his enemies like a cowboy on a bull). They're pretty great at tearing through enemies.
I'm not necessarily asking how to make the fight harder (the influx of unending ossumentals should be challenging enough), but I want to make it more dynamic than a 50 round fight.
Are there any suggestions on how to make this an epic and memorable conclusion to this book? Something more than just a fight with a timer?
Thanks ahead of time!

I did what Leedwashere details in THIS POST. The group was able to set up sufficent defenses after a few rounds so that by the time any enemies got to them they were able to easily handle them. I ended up running maybe 10 rounds (probably less) of combat and then started to narratively describe what was happening.

Hmmm...I will take a look at this. Thank you.
