[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6787973, member: 54629"] Exactly! Yeah, I should have done that with the hobgoblins, but it was getting kinda late, and I was tired, and so I just said they were all within reach of her [I]fireballs[/I]. I had the worgs go down to engage the PCs in melee, but the druid's conjured bears were more than a match for them. :P I was actually thinking of doing the same thing! It must be because Orvustia is inexperienced. Makes her an easy target. I've arranged my caravan's itinerary so they have a rest day near the eastern edge of the Troll Hills. I'm going to have the perytons attack then, so the PCs will be more free to move about the area. I'm also going to have six or so perytons, with only three attacking near the PCs, while the other three are dealt with by NPCs. Indeed. Will do! I decided I wasn't going to use that one. That could work. For my group, I had Edhelri Lewel get elected as caravan master, and one of the PCs is her guard sergeant. She'd probably get him to accompany her into the inn. And I can't really see some of the more hot-headed guards like Tyjit Skesh not wanting to get involved in the fight. I suppose I could just let the PCs run them. I've statted them all up. Since my PCs are higher level, I was thinking of having the main jerk be an actual green salad (not a young one), while the others are his hired goons. They could be veterans. Maybe gladiators. I dunno. Depends on how hard a fight I want it to be, I guess. [/QUOTE]
