[QUOTE="BradfordFerguson, post: 3588579, member: 20048"] (not sure if I'm posting to the right forum) Help needed by 10am eastern Saturday (June 16th) (1) I'm running a game where the PCs are going to face a ghoul cleric flanked by two ogre skeletons. They will square off on a platform that is no bigger than 30' square (30'x30') and will have an evil [i]desecrated[/i] altar in the middle. There is also an artifact (I'm imagining a black crystal ball) that allows the ghoul cleric to raise armies of undead. The ghoul cleric 5 (5th level cleric) is fairly smart. It buffs itself as it hears the PCs coming and may even cast sanctuary and simply keep the ogre skeletons in front of him and heal them as they take damage. My question is, in such a tight area, would the cleric prepare [i]silence[/i] and cast it after he's done buffing? The spell could both help and hurt. The PCs are 3rd level, they have a 6th level NPC cleric with them (I may bump down to 5th level) and a couple of 1st level monks. The NPC will not immediately realize the altar is affected by [i]desecrate[/i] (I would think? Would you agree?), will first try to turn and then will cast [i]consecrate[/i] after she fails. I don't want the NPC cleric to star , so I'm hesistant to have her do ideal actions to start. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
