My reason is that, if these are your favourite NPCs, they may well be the players' favourites, too. Their departure would, therefore, be met with the most surprise and would carry the greatest emotional impact.As you can, no doubt, see where I'm coming from now, it will come as no surprise to you that my sights are firmly set on Mayband. He sounds like the character around whom the campaign's central narrative revolves. I'd kill him. I would have him meet an untimely and utterly pointless death. I wouldn't elevate him to martyrdom by having him perish in the course of great heroics; I'd have him gutted by an opportunistic and completely inconsequential NPC in a bar room brawl or squished in a wholly unnecessary accident.See what course is set by the other PCs and NPCs in their reaction to that, and then dispatch Thilra, J'haut and Amadriel in a chain of increasingly tragic deaths. In order to keep the PCs from realising what you're up to until it's too late, I'd seriously consider finding a way of making fatalities two and three simultaneous. Appropriate opportunities may well arise quickly, should confusion and chaos follow in the wake of Mayband's demise.Well, that's what I'd be tempted to do.All sound like terrific NPCs, though. I can see why you've asked for suggestions.</blockquote>
