[QUOTE="Sarellion, post: 336529, member: 6254"] If we don´t use the land and animals we could poison it. Destroy the land where the Legions must pass through and make it a poisonous wasteland, where human life can not survive unaided. I am not sure what you could cast as protection against it. You would have to remove the poison itself. Then we could perhaps use the undead against them as they are already dead. Cast the spell before the legions enter so they cannot dispel it as it is cast. I think you have to use some kind of epic spell for it but the effects should not be magical by a spell. Let it rain acid, poison and disease (some lingering spores in the land and air). The atmosphere should be poisoned by the fumes from lakes of toxic fliuds and spores. Be sure to keep distance between your positions and the scorched earth. This should have an effect on morale. Humans are not so comfortable if they are on life support which could fail any moment. Perhaps a rain of disjunction on the legions would be really funny. As the clerics scramble to recast whatever protections are available, an assault would be possible and most devastating. Can you use gates to open to the elemental plane of fire to let the fire and magma of the plane come to the other side? There is nothing in the description of the spell that indicates otherwise. Open as many as you are able to over the legions. Some of them will burn to death. If they already have enough fire protection against it, try water. I think they will appreciate the drink. :D If it is possible sneak near the camp to do this It is sad that the gate can´t be opened as large as you wish. Otherwise you could call a whale who will fall on the troops. At least they would get some different meat. :D I am not sure if thenext idea would be possible because of the magic circle and righteous aura effect but nonetheless. Cast an epic spell which raises the aggressiveness of the legions but against each other. They only get the worst possible meaning of what other people say. The spell should lower their morale so that they think they are doomed, their officers are crap, something like this. The final effect should be that they go on each others throats. The spell must be really difficult to detect if it is possible to cloak it somehow. I don´t have the ELH, so I can´t design it. So I can only give some suggestions. Put up a sign: "You have just entered hell on earth. Welcome" for flavor. :D [/QUOTE]
