An elder red wyrm dragon?Just remember, if characters can go toe to toe with Orcus (CR 21 right?), why should a buncha 2nd level guards bother him? Because it's "realistic"?Go read some old S&S by Fritz Lieber where Fafrd and the Grey Mouser run through an assassins/thieves guild with no magic items and wipe out the guild. Then we'll talk about properly representing the 'low' magic part of it with high level characters.</blockquote>
