Horror Campaign (prev. Army of Commoners)

[Machete]

Traps will help you here. Pits filled with undead spam attacking anything that gets bull rushed in (slaymaster and adult kythons) swinging log trap for a Bullrush.

Then drop heavy stuff in the pits for crushing damage and pinning them to let psudeoghost eat them.


Pacts with demons for Warlocks. Minimal Marshals. Clerics for Hide From Undead.

Ranks in Tumble and Escape Artist are good for combat for physical combatants.

Running could be an option, Barbarian could be good for that. Greatclubs will probably be the best you can do as well as scythes.



Hexblades, what can they do for debuffing at low levels? I'm not familiar, you might want to look into it.

If your enemies are going to be grouped together, a Flask of Curses or Dust of Choking and Sneezing would be handy if you have or can make one.

Got a Bag of Holding? You could grapple or bullrush one or more of the adult or slaymaster kythons into it(maybe using it as part of a pit trap) and pop the bag.


Take away the mobility of the kythons with deep mud, quicksand(pools of water with sand dumped in them, or whatever you can.


Make the teens stay in back, them dying will be bad for morale. Your DM sounds evil enough to use that against you.



Play dirty with Snare and Explosive Runes spells(disarming a rune pretty much just means poking it or smashing it, which if done with a trap trigger like a spiked swinging log will set it off) if you have access to them. Put spikes on anything that you might have a chance of bullrushing something bad into.


Attract as many mook zombies as possible right before the battle and make a preemptive pass at the first wave of kythons and let the kythons deal with most of them. Let the rest follow you and fill trenches.

Its gonna be brutal.
