(the nemesis had survived 4 previous encounters with the party, slaying a PC each time)The two encounters before that were mostly with human bad guys as well.Before that, things were more of a mix - but, I almost always find that humans (or elves, dwarves, halflings and other PC races) work best as baddies.</blockquote>
