So it's safe to assume Ludinus will have a stat block on par with >!Vecna!< from C1, assuming he's spent the last few centuries getting all his main stats to 26-30 range. Makes me wonder how imminent the showdown actually is? Ludinus seems content largely ignoring BH.
@Linuto @Ultragramps I think we’re pretty far from the finale of campaign 3 (barring a TPK). People thought what was going to happen after the confrontation at the Malleus Key and look how far we’ve come. I think there is plenty of story left.
Sorry, just seeing this. Should have used the word "inevitable" instead of "imminent."
I don't think the campaign is close to being over. That being said, >!Trent was a suitable encounter for the M9 at level 20 in the most recent live show,!< and I would be shocked if Ludinous was a less challenging fight. I'm guessing Ludinous will continue to be fought indirectly most of the campaign.
Just helping with the formatting, lemmy has a different spoiler tagging system that takes up about three lines and features a drop down hider:

ExampleTim has good instincts. I can vouch that he called the roll failure from Sam (on the teleport with a 69 afterwards for success).
I don't think Matt would let a TPK happen. With the action economy of 5e, the players have a big advantage and maybe that's why Laura said she was trading out Mass Cure Wounds for a different spell (and since Caduceus also had it).
