[QUOTE="random user, post: 1819629, member: 16581"] I have the time that they pop in set already, but who exactly is going to be there is going to depend in some part as to what the PCs do. They will (greater) scry just prior to teleporting in to minimize the amount of preparation the enemy can do (since the enemy will have detect scry sensors up). But since I don't yet know what the NPCs will see, I can't tell you what they will see. I know what they will see if the PCs don't change things around. But PCs are squirrely that way sometimes. I'm trying to do the next best thing, which is to note all the possible spells they could reasonably have memorized or available with a scroll, so that I have a buff list when they do actually do the teleport. If things look really bad, they won't even teleport in. It really all depends on what the PCs do. I don't have a concrete plan on what will happen. I just know the NPCs motivations, goals, and (hope to know) their capabilities, and will adjust them on the fly as they acquire information, much in the same way the PCs do. Do you have a book and page number for this? I've heard that before, but could never find the exact quote. Regardless, I've made it clear that something would be done to prevent scrying in certain areas. Since my PC isn't ready to build a castle yet, I've managed to table the exact method. It would be nice to direct him to the reference. To help against dimensional anchor, the main teleporter will have spell immunity to it, and at least one caster will have a quickened dispel magic ready. On that note, if you ready an action to attack a caster when he casts a spell, and he casts a quickened spell, do you still get to attack? I guess I should ask about that in the rules forum. I do need to decide whether or not any spellcaster is going to be powerful enough to cast a quickened teleport. If not, they will have at least a quickened dimension door ready.
