Message: <blockquote data-quote="ltclnlbrain" data-source="post: 1519117" data-attributes="member: 12882">OK, here is the situation: A while back, my players encountered a beholder-mage in an abandoned observatory.  They decided to parlay and struck a bargain with it that basically promised that neither party would attack the other while they were in the area.About a month has passed in game time, and the players can't stand the thought of the beholder still lingering in the area, making plans and whatnot.  So they're ready to head back and beat him down.  However, the beholder has not been idle in this month, and has hired new bodyguards and minions to protect him from the party.  Now, he has researched the party extensively and knows their strengths and weaknesses.  So my question is: what type of number of minions should the beholder have when the party confronts him?The beholder is a third-level beholder mage, so his CR is 16.  The party consists of six people of level 15: an evoker, a sorcerer/wild mage, a mystic theurge, a cleric, a rogue/duelist, and a paladin.  When the group first encountered the beholder, he had three high level gargoyle rogues as servants, but the party defeated them.  So I'm looking for any cool suggestions as to what he might have hired/charmed/bullied into protecting him.I appreciate your help.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
