Make sure Dimensional Anchor covers the island before the attack begins and make sure to sustain it, as the last thing you need is people escaping.These have several advantage of Troll in a Jar.1) Standing Army (controlable)2) Very Manuverable (flight)3) Can act as guard4) Holding positions (take an hold a fort or stragetically valuable area)5) Using Scrying or Project Image, you should be able to direct their actions (non programmed) from a considerable distance/safety and direct any additional assests in the air to assist.Cost and Time for building up and testing would be the main downsides of something like this, though a high enough caster to have shapechange could become a guerilla nightmare. So they are your priority targets.Forgot about the sleeper agents, as they would make for great target painters and likely would be "laser sights" for scry and fry type attacks as well as locking down the castle and distrubting communication.  They need to make sure to cut command off completely. The PC's can fit into plan by killing Cabalists, and take their "uniforms" , "symbols" or learning the pass keys for Golem friend/foe indentification.  They can then try to break out of the castle, save the Queen (now in a exile) and wage a guerilla campaign against the cabalists superior force.How does this sound?</blockquote>
