Much easier to just slay them and take their forms. If you wish to keep them dead, simply create an undead creature from their corpse, then cast Mind Blank upon them to prevent divinations - a temporary solution, granted, but sufficient for our purposes." "Scrying should not be a problem.  If they are dead, the spell would simply fail. And when you attempt scrying upon such powerful creatures, you would expect failure, yes? Especially when a simple Mind Blank could have made them completely unscryable, and that is hardly beyond their power, or an unreasonable thing for them to have in place." "As I have said, however, I am leery of tarrying long enough to meddle in their politics. Much better to just infiltrate the city, assassinate their leaders, then take it by force while their forces are in disarray. Simple plans are the most likely to survive first contact with the enemy." Alosat turns to Harkof: "Democracy depends on equality, lord Harkuf. The rudiments of statecraft tells us that power drifts towards the powerful. This 'Alise' and her consort are at the very least as powerful as we are; I do not think beings such as them would be bound by something as simple as the will of the useless majority, force of righteousness or otherwise. My guess is that the other members of the council are so much in awe and agreement with them normally that, should they uniformly oppose them, they would become immediately suspicious. And it is very hard to hide anything from the likes of us once we are actively looking. But I am curious: what is this method you speak of, that would be all but undetectable?"</blockquote>
