'Jacked by a Circus! (Heroes, Inc. Stay Out)

[DM_Matt]

In my Heroes, Inc. PBP, there is going to be an assassination carried out by a group of cultural/goodwill ambassadors from Thay (Long Story). They should try not to get found out but they will be. They are being manipulated into doing the killing AND taking the fall. There wil be two L12 wizard targets, and there may be a number of L14 guards (PCs, depends on how many are with the targets at that point.) I need to figure out the composition of the group. Here is what I have so far.


1. Minotaur Thayan Gladiator with a Yagnoloth Arm grafted on where his right arm would be (famous gladiator, leader).
2. Some sort of dancer character who performs various dances of their culture. Rogue/Assassin/Shadowdancer?
3. A wizard who demonstrates their powerful magicks.
4. A couple security mooks.
5. I need more things they would have cultural ambassadors for, entourage members, and characters to go with em.


Thanks for any help anyone wants to offer.

OK I'm confused. Are the PC's the level 14 guards? If so, what level do you want the assassins to be?

Without knowing levels I'd say:

1. Minotaur Thayan Gladiator with a Yagnoloth Arm grafted on where his right arm would be (famous gladiator, leader).

Maybe a fighter/rouge/thayan gladiator

2. Some sort of dancer character who performs various dances of their culture. Rogue/Assassin/Shadowdancer?

Rogue/Assassin/Shadowdancer seems about right

3. A wizard who demonstrates their powerful magicks.

Maybe wiz/fatespinner/archmage? or sorc/shadowcraft mage

4. A couple security mooks.

Maybe... a grappling monk and Hexblade?

5. I need more things they would have cultural ambassadors for, entourage members, and characters to go with em.

not sure what you mean by this, but I haven't had my coffee yet this morning

Yes, they are. As far as level, they should be able to kill at least one target but take losses. The leader should get away.

I mean to say that I was wondering what other kinds of cultural ambassador folks might exist. I'll prolly add a bard with a poisoned crossbow whose cover job is oratory/literature.
