[QUOTE="htetickrt, post: 1679650, member: 16534"] Thanks for the ideas! I plan on letting them have some benefit, but it's one of the spells the 17th level sorcerer knows, and she's saved up 7 slots capable of casting it, so I'm worried it could be overused. I like the warning idea. I might make it harder to spot, but the sorcerer is in the 30's with spellcrft and the ranger has a spot in the 30's as well, so I doubt they'd miss it regardless of which roll I required. Seems fair, though. As for teleporting away, that brings up a question I have: Can the BBEG scry inside of the mansion? Can she only to so using certain spells? To Saeviomagy: Unfortunately, leaving is not possible here, as the adventure dictates that the BBEG stay put while she develops her spell in a set location. Time [I]is[/I] of the essence, but unfortunately there is no way for the players to know how much, short of their capturing one of the few non-undead enemies around, or my telling them out of character, which I'd like to avoid. I like the Nightmare idea; didn't think of that. Observation is difficult given that most of the castle is now deceased. The dimensional anchor idea brings up a second question: Does entering the mansion count as planar travel? Because they are in a forbiddance, which would clarify matters substantially. [/QUOTE]
