[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 1598632, member: 1115"] The group was unaware that some mighty guys were quite unpleased about the party's actions. IIRC, the adventueres believed that they had won the battle against a troll king and his army and his ally, a very powerful gythianky psychic warrior. Both the troll king and the gythianky were killed by the group in a large battle at Eshpurta in Amn. The party was on the way to Athkatla and wanted to take out the remaining troups of the troll army. The trolls were encamped at strategic important places along the way between Eshpurta and Athkatla, attacking caravans and reinforcements for Eshpurta. The wizard attack was meant to warn the group that someone is trying to obliterate the party. The fight was a very vivid dream about what might happen in the future. Some days later, the group had to face a nearly similar but not so heavy front-loaded wizard, but they were better prepared and finished him off after a short fight. It showed also the power of a single flying invisible spell caster whose only goal is to kill the PCs and who will equip himself accordingly to reach this goal. And it wasn't really difficult to design such an encounter because of the power of some spells that are combined to a deadly effect. Which leads to the question: When is a spell overpowered? A spell might be ok when used alone, but deadly when it is combined with another spell. In this case: [I]Fly[/I] and [I]Improved Invisibility[/I]. [/QUOTE]
