[QUOTE="Hellcow, post: 8051391, member: 15800"] Certainly, and I'd do both those things if I was going to have an adventure in Mabar. I'd never send a group of adventures into Mabar if their only method of survival was casting [I]death ward[/I], any more than I'd send them to a major adventure in a sahuagin capital with only a single character casting [I]water breathing[/I].

The Hinterlands ARE a safe haven in the destination... but there's also nothing that prevents the Empress of Shadows from having a building in the Amaranthine City shielded with [I]death ward[/I] precisely to provide that safe haven when she wants to talk to mortals. It doesn't seem like we're going to see eye to eye on this, and that's fine.
