Or are you recreating the scene from the beginning of Conan? In which case you should make one the leader and markedly higher level than the others.And if you want to showcase the power of the enemy, make them 11th or 12th level and the PCs' mentors 5th level. Bounded Accuracy means that once the PCs reach 4th level or so they should be able to tackle the evil guys individually.It might be better to not have such a variety of races, restricting them to 2 or 3 villainous races. To give them that Far Realms vibe, you might borrow the Gestalt concept from 3E and make them all gestalt Star Pact Warlocks.I'll offer to start by stealing from Narnia:The leader is a Tiefling Wizard // Warlock, level 14 or so, with everyone else level 11 or 12.Her first lieutenant is a Minotaur Barbarian // Warlock,Her second lieutenant is a Hobgoblin Anti-Paladin // WarlockHer third lieutenant is a Hobgoblin Fighter // WarlockThe rest are Minotaurs and Hobgoblins, Rogues and Fighters, to taste, but still gestalted with Warlock.</blockquote>
