[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 3419048, member: 25619"] Um, no. You disagree with me, therefore you are the dumb one. :p My take on the situation: Annoying NPC must die. If -- IF -- there is a hostage actually there -- hope he makes his save or has more hit points. Is the hostage any class but an arcane spellcaster? Then chances are he'll live through a Fireball that kills an Illusionist of equal or close level. Think of a Fireball are chemotherapy -- sure giving somebody poisonous chemicals/a Fireball is not a good idea for the average person, but if it's more likely to kill the bad than the good, it's a good idea. The in-character point is, don't let an evil illusionist get away alive. Illusionists are SO annoying, I want to exterminate them in general. An evil hostage taking one really really needs to die. Area effect spells are the best way to go, when you don't necessarily know where or which one he is. Thus nuke it from orbit/Fireball coming on line is the way to go. The OOC point is, hostage taking is really annoying. Illusionists are really annoying. Don't let the DM have fun with this scenario, and you probably won't have to deal with again.
