She was actually going to use only her claws, which she does prefer, but the opening critical from Gareth made her figure that she should use the axe instead. I'll remember the warblade idea for when the PCs pick up a couple more levels and come up against her seriously <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Precisely. I like the way you think <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />It's not that bad <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> They generally only use the two card option every second session, though there have been a few recent ones where they burned through a number of cards to minimize blows and damage before coming to that point.Rackhir has mentioned on more than one occasion that the Angels will know they're truly powerful when they are able to go and buy a newspaper in Sharn without having to do it en masse. I added at one point, "And unbuffed," and he gave me a dirty look and said, "Are you crazy? No matter how high level we get, buying newspapers unbuffed would be suicide!"Luckily for them, I took out Time Stop, Shapechange, and a couple of other such spells from my game. On the other hand, I do have the Spell Compendium now. But I'm sure it won't be a problem. The Angels should just be able to sweet-talk Mordain into helping them. After all, they have an absolutely stellar record of being able to do so. For certain definitions of "absolutely" and "stellar" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Well, poor Gareth got nicely roasted for a bit, and it seems it's Nameless' turn now. as I've said before, I rarely plan ahead for these things, and it's just that Nameless' death opened up so many options for me to tie it in with a number of things that have been going on and potentially will. However, having had a long "how do we get rid of the nuke?" arc with the Shard, even though we've had nine sessions and 1.5 months of campaign time pass since then, I don't want the PCs to get into another "how do we get rid of the nuke in Nameless' chest?" scenario unless they really want to, so I'll be throwing them a couple of options for putting that on the backburner more or less safely (it can't be completely safe, since then I lose my RBDM-cred) and dealing with other things for the immediate future. Plus they're in all likelihood going to hit 13th lvl after next session (we should be playing Saturday, if we don't have to postpone, as we have twice already), so they'll have a few more toys to play with. I'm probably going to just throw out a bunch of plot hooks again and see what they pick.In short, as usual, I have no preplanned idea of where things are going to go. All I know is that there will be hell, handbaskets, and a certain amount of suffering involved <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
