The Tentacled One
You descend along a steep, rugged, winding path. It turns sharply, then begins climbing again. You see massive roots above your head, breaching the ceiling and twisting in sinuous bundles. Though immense, these roots are mostly dead, empty shells. The tree above must be dying. At last, the tunnel takes you to another staircase. It's short, and climbs up into a large chamber. Roots twist above and branch down into the chamber.
Could I get a marching order? Spidey said the same as before, but I've forgotten what it was before! This can be the usual rows of 2.

Black Knights are long-dead warriors who are tied to the land of the living by dark necromantic magic. They ride into battle on undead Nightmares.
A total of 8 black knights, each mounted on its own nightmare, confronts the party as they ascend the staircase into the chamber...

Y=Tyresius
D=Dorgath
R=Revaethan
J=Jekaena
O=Tomas
K=Kelgar

-The Power Phase is 5 for this turn.
-Also, I've suddenly decided that I don't like how I was handling Fear and Terror effects before. So let's roll for everyone right now and get it out of the way. That's closer to what the book describes anyway. The nightmares have Fear 6 and their riders have Fear 7. Also, Dorgath gets +3 against Fear from his axe and one of Revaethan's swords now gives the whole party +3 against Fear. So taking those modifiers into account, Dorgath is automatically safe no matter what he rolls (Dorgath's Battle Level + bonus from his axe + bonus from Revaethan's sword + 1D6 is always greater than 7), while everyone else in the party is effectively immune to the effect from nightmares, but could become afraid of black knights on a roll of 1.

-Dorgath is unafraid.

According to the official guidelines, this encounter should definitely be overleveled for you guys. My guess is that Ty will tear right through these things with no trouble, but we'll see."Retreat?"
We should retreat back down the stairs, I think. That should negate the Nightmare advantage, and would allow us to limit the number of Black Knights we have to fight to 2 at a time...

I feel kinda bad about the way that one played out, but there it is. Mooseman had a strategic insight based on the limited information I provided. Seeing that he was on the front line and that he was adjacent to multiple undead opponents, he discerned that the Blade of Couronne could be useful here, especially if it was a prolonged fight. Meanwhile, Tomas, whose player isn't even here anymore, benefited from me knowing that he could probably draw enough power from his overpowered Chalice of Sorcery to give the party sufficient extra attacks to end the combat in one round. I want to encourage player engagement if I can, and combat going like that is not what I had in mind. I'll have to think on this...
Anyway, the Power Phase is 4 next turn, so there's no Unexpected Events.
