[QUOTE="Charles Rampant, post: 6997953, member: 32659"] I hadn't thought about them in the context of allies to Hags, but you guys are right to say that there is real potential there. They can get a lost nastier if a Hag pre-casts [I]Fog Cloud[/I] or something similar to obscure darkness, and their teleporting shenanigans lets them pop around the back ranks easily. I think that the Fey are a little tougher to get a grasp on, as a combat encounter, than the Gnolls are; for the latter it is easy to see how they work together, while the Fey have so many strange and divergent abilities that seem to combine oddly. @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6801228"]Chaosmancer[/URL][/U][/B][/I] , that's a great plot idea for the king being tormented. As you say, it leads to the question of who is behind it - and you can use it as the lead into a whole Feywild themed adventure. I might go and edit the contents list to show which creatures are Fey. They're hard to keep track of!
