[QUOTE="gnomebarbarian, post: 2088772, member: 29687"] I'd say the EL is higher then 11 due to the conditions.. more like 12 and a little high for the party. If you took out the phase spider it would be more to there match. Also, not that it couldn't happen, but how do they get the phase spider, a creature of the etheral plane, to co-op with them so good to go tracking/hunting down this party? The phase spider would be a good encounter by itself at night... or a a few of them together better yet. that would make them soil there armor I'm sure. Just have it phase in to attack the guard on duty the same round that a few more phase in to attack the rest of the group. It is a move equivlent action to use the ability and would give the lookout the chance to make noise so the rest of the group could wake up and not have to all suffer from the coup de grac attacks. Have the assaisns attack the first night and phase spiders the night after that and your group will be parinod about going to sleep for weeks ::insert evil DM laugh:: then whenever they sleep you can just make those "random encounter rolls" several times behind your screen while giving the party the evil eye of DM doom and you got yourself some great atmosphere going on. Turns going to sleep into fun. then give it a rest for a game session or 3 before they get attacked again at night so they start letting the guard down and throw another group of hired killers at them. You will have a great side adventure after that with them trying to find out who is trying so hard to off them. they will probaly forget about whatever quest you actualy had them on in the first place.
