Good for a quick one-off when you have a break in your main quest. This is great DM practice for complex combat, so ensure to ask for feedback from your players. I gave my PCs 1 common and 1 uncommon magical item. I’ve done 3 of the higher-level ones. As a suggestion to other DMs modify the NPCs and monsters. Review what they can do as is, but most are melee-focused. So perhaps give them ranged options(like a lot of range 120+), something for incapacitating/restraining PCs, an environmental aspect to combat, and access to “see invisibility”. Remember the monsters and NPC have fought high-level PCs before and would know some of their tricks. So they will come prepared as well. If you can use any DC-based attacks, as the PCs AC can be crazy high. Otherwise, the PCs will kite the NPC/monsters and it isn’t as fun for everybody. Perhaps add an Evil PC(if you have one handy) they fight against with Feats and PC levels sort of fight fire with fire. Make it your own and tweak it.
