I’ve been doing a Halloween oneshot that has gone wildly off the rails and become its own campaign, the final boss is coming up soon and I need something properly big bombastic and terrifying to back him up. Previous bosses in the campaign have included The Thing, a Xenomorph, and Dr Frankenstein and his Monster.
The encounter takes place in the Ravening Caves, which is sort of a misnomer as the cave is not made of rock but flesh and its filled with teeth that want to rip you to bits. The King himself is a sort of all powerful god of fear, jack o lantern head and a sort of twisty writhing vine body. capable of magic, shapeshifting, and martial combat.
I’ve been poking around in the Strahd sets and found some stuff that kind of works but nothing that really sings. Has anyone got any suggestions? I really want to nail this culmination of nearly 9 months of work.
Ideally there’d be a big threatening orchestra bit to underlay everything before laying over it some sort of combat noises, mad laughter, scary whispers, and lots of fleshy squelching.
