Message: <blockquote data-quote="amerigoV" data-source="post: 6582436">The PCs seem to presume that (1) the army is not scouting (EVERY army scouts. And magic = advance scouting techniques) and (2) that the army would not have countermeasures in place for such tactics (its lead by a mage - they are fully aware of magic's capability in such matters). Its being lead by a mage, so presumable above average intellect. Even the mage is not conversed in mass warfare, one would presume they would get someone in position to run their army.Have the PCs pissed off anyone in town? Any malcontents? They would be good people for the army's spies to get info on the PCs and the town defenses.I personally would have the army as a distraction. While the PCs are dicking around with the army, the Mage teleports into town and performs the mass sacrifice on the citizens. I would make sure the mage leaves a note thanking the PCs for leaving the town undefended just to rub it in.</blockquote>
