[QUOTE="BrooklynKnight, post: 1049439, member: 4490"] Hey. I really recommend you get 2 3e books. Lords of Darkness and Unapproachable East. Both of these FR 3e (Unapprochable East is 3.5 forward compatible) books containe [B]invaluable[/B] information on the Red Wizards of They, their attitudes and their tactics. You might also want to go to [url]www.rpgnow.com[/url] and check out old FR 2e pdfs. The flavor text will certainly be usefull. However, to summerize. Here is some things you should do. Figure out which Tharch they are in. From there you can figure out which non spellcaster or multi-classed red wizard governs the local area and how he/she will care to deal with the situation. Decide if rival tharches discover what the PC's have done. Chances are they will hop to the AID of the pc's to undermine the other Tharch and find some capital gain. However once the PC's usefullness ends to the RW expect them to be..."disposed of". If it turns out to all out combat race to escape the above comments were correct. They will face legions and legions of Orcs, Gnolls, Zombies and Skeletons. If they are able to take out CR 15 creatures then they are the area of a group level of what? 13-17? Under these circumstances they will obvioulsy cut through the cannnon fodder and mid level red wizards with no problems. Here are some tips. If you're using spell components and the parties wizard is really casting lots of spells......he really wont be able to replace his spell components in Thay. Thayns are VERY suspicious so any attempt to buy them will alert RW's to their whereabouts. If he doesnt steal or take components from dead RW's then he should definatly run out. Next. Since they are in those levels I'm almost certain that eventually, after sending a few rising ranks and levels of fodder after them one of the main 12 Red Wizards of thay will DEFINATLY approach them either to destroy them for being an annoyance or hire them to annoy another RW or some other nation. In the latter case the RW might offer magic items as a "gift of confidence" which in truth only help him spy on the Pc's if not slowly change their alignment or to use the SHadow Weave (dep on the RW doing it.) In My Opinion you have a GREAT chance for some roleplay here and your party will have to be very inginuitive to survive. In all senses of the word they are screwed royally. Quick thinking is the only thing that will let them escape. Hope all of the above helps, and really BUY THE BOOKS. [/QUOTE]
