CR 4. Medium humanoid (elf); HD 3d10+3; hp 30; Init +3; Spd 20 ft.; AC 18 (+5 masterwork breastplate, +3 Dex); Atk +7 melee (1d6+1 masterwork rapier), or +7 melee touch attack (trip attempt +1 or disarm attempt +13, masterwork whip); SQ Spell Resistance 14, darkvision 120, +2 to Will saves against spells and spell-like abilities, light blindness, 1/day faerie fire, darkness, and dancing lights; AL NE; SV Fort +4, Ref +4, Will +0; Str 12, Dex 17, Con 12, Int 15, Wis 8, Cha 12.Skills, Feats, and Languages:  Hide (cc) +8, Intimidate +7, Jump +4, Move Silently (cc) +3; Combat Expertise, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (whip), Improved Disarm, Weapon Finesse; Undercommon, Dark Elf, Orc, Common.Equipment: Dark Elvish Cloak of Elvenkind +5 (disintegrates when exposed to sunlight).Quillathe prefers to fight by getting 10 ft. from her opponent, then either tripping or disarming her foe with her whip (whichever seems easiest).  She'll then step in and attack with her rapier.  She doesn't use the whip to deal damage, and nor does she use both the whip and the rapier at the same time. Alisru Denna: Dark Elf female Cleric 5. CR 6. Medium humanoid (elf); HD 5d8; hp 26; Init +1; Spd 20 ft.; AC 21 (+8 masterwork fullplate, +2 masterwork large metal shield, +1 Dex); Atk +3 melee (1d8-1 masterwork mace); SQ Spell Resistance 16, darkvision 120, +2 to Will saves against spells and spell-like abilities, light blindness, 1/day faerie fire, darkness, and dancing lights, domains: fire and travel; AL CE; SV Fort +5, Ref +2, Will +7; Str 8, Dex 12, Con 12, Int 15, Wis 16, Cha 14.Skills, Feats, and Languages:  Concentration +9, Knowledge (arcana) +10, Knowledge (religion) +10, Spellcraft +10; ; Undercommon, Dark Elf, Orc, Elf.Equipment: Wand of Cure Light Wounds, scroll of insect plague, potion of invisibility.Spells Prepared:  5 5 5 41st - Burning Hands, Command, Entropic Shield, Sanctuary, Shield of Faith2nd - Bear's Endurance, Hold Person x2, Produce Flame, Shield Other3rd - Dispel Magic, Fly, Summon Monster III x2Alisru never strays far from her bodyguard Quillathe, and she typically has many disposable allies defending her.  When she learns that her guards are under attack, she quickly casts fly on herself, then shield other and bear's endurance on Quillathe, then she drinks a potion of invisibility before heading into combat.  In combat, she uses her wand to heal herself if injured (typically because of the shield other spell), or summons an insect plague or monster.With this set up, Quillathe gains +6 hit points, and gets a +1 bonus to AC and saves.  Quillathe and Alisru have to stay within 35 ft., or else the shield other spell ends.</blockquote>
