Boss Fight: Enoch the Archmage

My players faced the third boss of the adventure – Enoch the Archmage. This is part of the 5e conversion of A Darkness Gathering. Though this is a tough mob it is, essentially, a straight up legendary per the standard rules. I did tweak it as Enoch was designed to take on 8 PCs (ended […]
