  • Well I mean, next time your party needs to escape from somewhere, book an escape room that has a theme that’s close enough.
    There’d be no tabletop element, obviously no weapon or spells, although your players can still kinda roleplay in there.

    Most escape rooms around here already have their own little backstory and an actor introduces you to their shtick and sometimes interacts with you through the thing.
    If you call them ahead of time, they might agree to slightly alter their existing stuff to accommodate your story.












  • Take a few mindflayers, including arcanists.
    Sure, the party could wreck them in close combat, they know that.
    Levitating to be our of melee, splitting/cornering the party with a wall of force in a nice ambush spot with difficult terrain, and just mind blasting them.
    If they ever lose the upper hand, they can just plane shift and come back later, better prepared.
    Maybe their minion fodder are hobgoblin warlords.

    I feel like most enemies encountering this party would avoid the melee meat grinder if at all possible.
    The party can probably wreck an aboleth too if they face off head-on, not that the aboleth would give them such an opportunity.

    I’d recommend TheMonstersKnow.com [… what they’re doing].
    It’s a blog which is also available in book form with tactics for monsters.
