[QUOTE="lissilambe, post: 2638681, member: 11902"] I also have to wonder about the competency of the assassin. He's a cleric. Healing magic in the empire is growing rare, okay, but this guy theoretically has access to priestly upbringing and scholarly works to be trained by. I can't imagine the idea of resurrection, especially among high level clerics, is completely lost. Such magic would seem to be an imperative amongst the ruler(s) of an evil empire anyway. So if this assassin is competent enough to effectively be always invisibly flying silently without trace for hours on end, doesn't it also seem to make sense that he'd realize the futility of shooting only one character at a time when they can restore their people? All in all, I agree with the idea that the scene is slickly and heavily detailed, but there must be a better direction to go in. Perhaps assassinating the ogre mage king instead, thus really demonstrating the dread power of these assassins. I know my character wouldn't come within fifty feet of a window if he could help it after that. heh :D [/QUOTE]
