The bridge across the chasm… |
He is out there lass. Standing on that bridge day and night, rain, hail, snow, sun. The Black Knight. “None Shall Pass!” he states in a deep voice, and to date, none ever have.
The Black Knight is an armour master and seeks to withstand a barrage whilst defending the bridge. He will likely frustrate players as his Armor Class is very high for this encounter. If he gets a chance he will attempt to drink both his bulls strength and bears endurance potions before engaging the PC’s. Have fun with this encounter, after all it is in honour of Monty Python! Keep rolling.
