With a solid strategy, and abilities/spells/allies/items that work on synergy, i.e. everything works like a well-oiled machine. If you want to see how the Mighty Chosen may be laid low, I recommend reading 'Silverfall'; it deals (among other themes) with a Realmswide conspiracy that also involves some low-level, crafty merchants among the "top tier" (plus a number of memorable scenes and er, how to say it... quite eccentric villains). One of those merchants is a particularly nasty as a villain; not because he's a high-level character, but because he's downright *nasty*, unscrupulous and has money to spend. And that's an important point, too -- those two 14th level NPCs would probably have enough resources that with a cunning plan and patience to spring their ambush on just the right moment they might succeed... just as a couple of 14th level villains might, with luck and the right resources, catch a 28th level PC by surprise.</p></blockquote><p></p>
