[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 316231, member: 6562"] We need to know a bit more about the Valloreans. Okay, so thier cities are protected. What about thier farms? Our undead army doesn't need to eat -- but thier city dwellers sure do! Even if thier army is immune to starvation, we may be able to starve thier citizens. 300 or so vampires could be teleported into their farming communities and could kill everyone with any farming know-how, create vampire spawn from their bodies, set the spawn to burn the crops when they awaken, and teleport home in a single night. They have some nifty custom artifacts on thier side. What artifacts do we have? Anything with a wide-angle Anti-Magic Field? Nobody Expects the Spawnish Inquisition: we can turn thier Rangers against them. First, have some vampires Dominate some of our average citizens. If we get lucky, one will know about the resistance and be able to tell us who to look for. If not, have these citizens try (earnestly!) to get into the resistances, then betray thier leaders. We publically turn the leaders into new vampires. Voila -- new ranger-vampires with intimate knowlege of the Vallorean's plans, and no more chance for a resistance. Do we know any friendly monster races? A couple hundred beholders or illithids would come as quite a surprise to the undead hunters. -- Nifft [/QUOTE]
