If they can manage to spy on the Harpers (and they most certainly can), the Red Ravens should be fairly easy for them to handle. After all, many Zhents are competent fighters, and not all of them are evil (I imagine the default Zhent would be borderline LN/LE in alignment). As for the Red Ravens, unless you have told your PCs that they already work for Cormyr, or unless you really must adhere to canon 100%, I don't see that as a problem. In fact, if one of your PCs holds the title "Baron of the Stonelands," and is a vassal of the Cormyrean crown, that's pretty much the same as saying that Cormyr hired the mercs.I admit I didn't check up on the Red Ravens prior to my first post, and Cormyr is not my area of expertise, but I think some of my points (such as the overall merc level being below 5) still stand. Red raven leaders may be 10th-level former adventurers, but you couldn't buy their services for 200 gp per week.</blockquote>
