Perhaps in some real big fight you let your NPC "retainers" handle it. Do that until several are dead and the DM realizes he's fighting himself because you don't think the situation was "dire" enough. This would for one lessen the ammount of NPC's in the group. It would also make a point.    Also when the emperor tells you of the next huge plan that needs taken care of decide that you need to make some magic items before going at it. He'll probably send messengers asking why you are sitting in town and you can say "I always like to be prepared. This will only take a few 'weeks' <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> "   Make a point to show that you dont' want to be hoarded into some temple to fight for no reason. Since you have so much information try to hire other groups to take care of that and try to do something else. Since your levels are getting to wherea lot of cool spells are happening.    Surprise him by scrying the head guy and then teleporting in and killing him and skipping the rest of the hard work. Things to show that you don't need endless mazes of little monsters sent at you for something you didn't really care to be doing anyways.   Do this with the other group members that are unhappy. Have them work with you to show your DM that its just for fun. I'd never allow NPC's to be with me when theres 6 people and he's tring to throw 14 NPC's at you. I'd either refuse their service or let them die on the battlefield. ALSO,   Try to start another game with the group where you DM. Maybe they'll like that since it'll be a change of pace. If you can't do a different day perhaps just try doing 1time a month in the same slot as a "break" from his campaign.   At least try some productive things to show him you want him to change and if not inform him you will no longer be attending.</blockquote>
