===Encounter details===
Filro will use the the height advantage he has among the cliffs and roots to throw down debilitating spells onto intruders for the monstrosities to pick off. He favors casting to make his enemies fall , leaving them open for a Hook Horror's deadly . Grouping up near him on the high ground can also lead to a lethal outcome if he uses his to shove party members off the cliff.
If the is still alive when the party begins the fight with Filro and the Hook Horrors, then it has a chance of burrowing out of the ground to join the combat. Its passive leads to it attacking the Hook Horrors before going after the party.
=== Tactics ===
Filro has low Wisdom and Charisma, making him weak to spells with such Saving Throws. A well aimed can also instantly kill him via fall damage or by knocking him into a chasm, though in the latter case the he carries would be lost. 
The party can also consider not fighting the Bulette until it makes its appearance during this fight. The Bulette and Hook Horrors deal good damage to each other, potentially weakening all of them enough for the party to kill them.
Also, if is an Attached Follower, he can use his Animating Spores ability to revive a Hook Horror as a "Spore Servant", allowing to use their powerful natural abilities against the other Horrors and the insane wizard.

== Notes ==
* If killing Filro before encountering Dhourn, the party can tell Dhourn that they killed Filro instead of discussing the Adamantine Forge. If successfully deceiving Dhourn that Filro had nothing of note, combat with Dhourn can be avoided entirely.
* Filro can be heard singing a song to himself before he is approached and triggers combat. The lyrics are: "The Bitch Queen shan't take me, my joy, ahoy / Bellows and swallows, my joy, ahoy / Melinda, my true love, my true love, my true... / Where have you got to, my darling, my joy"
