Faerun specific questions

[FrostedMini1337]

We have the following troops at our command:
My Party + Warmage 9, Fighter 8,
8-15 4-6th Commanders
1800 Footmen 1st Level, 300 2nd Level, 40 3rd.
80 Sorcerers/Warmages, 12 2nd Level, 6 3rd.
30 Clerics, 10 2nd, 8 3rd.
50 Archers
5 first level adepts.
Very little actual cavalry(30-50), although a lot of horses.

Are there any towns semi-close to Zhentil Keep we could assault? Let's say we got an influx of 1-2K orcs? Also, that town that got exploded, Tilverton, i was thinking it got overrun by monsters after it exploded, and some people were trying to clear it out. Have they done so?

Also, any good powers to use in large scale battles? I'm psion(telepath), but I'm going to be psycic reforming soon. Also, good bonus evocation spells for an evil warmage?

Yûlash and Phlan are the closest.

 

[FrostedMini1337]

Could we take those at all? or without prolonged siege?

we game tommorrow, and I want to make the most of our time.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

I doubt Phlan could put up much of a resistance. Don't know much about Yûlash.

Here is an aerial map of phlan:

Go burn the Temple of Bane down.

You'll have no end of fun after that

 

[Question]

You actually have 80 first level sorcerers/warmages?

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Phlan is hardy. Beyond all the heroes that live there, there's a whole city who's used to fighting off monsters and fiends.

@ Question: yeah, Not sorcerer 1/warmage 1 but either sorcerer1 or warmage1 the DM hasn't split them up yet, but more warmages than sorcerers. (No they aren't my followers)

Our fighter got smoked by a monster up in The Ride, and we're going to have to find some way to do something about the roving hordes of human barbarians in there. Suggestions? Overtly running them over isn't going to happen as it mentions in book that they rally against oh, say, the Zhents (that'd be us). We're going to try a mix of Domination and Diplomacy, but better suggestions are welcome.

Btw the party is Psion(telepath)5/Thrallherd6, HalfVamp Cleric(Bane)7/DreadTyrantOfBane2, The warmage leveled to 10.

Theres been something on WoTC about the border kingdoms...those look pretty weak if we could get down there, but I've heard something of the the Four Mages(and the Mad Mage) and that scares me. Any info?

Final note: That Phlan place is begging for us to kick its ass. When we're done in the Ride, it gets smoked.
