[b]On Context-[/b] He is not going to have any allies nearby per se, but is in an area with a bunch of minion traps that he will be able to spring on the pcs ("...and as a minor action he opens this door and a spear flies out at you..."). I'm a little concerned about a possible "Daze him and don't provoke!" strategy. Anyway, I'll continue to absorb feedback and then make some mods to Lurpask. Thanks, all! [/QUOTE]
