The PCs knew the DA's existed and the main thrust of the campaign was to break the magical grip The Bad Guy had on the DA's. Once they became known to their enemy by foiling his plans, I warned them. This guy has a dozen centuries-old doppelganger assassins! They topple governments for fun!But my players failed to prepare. They just went about their business as usual. Time for an assassination attempt!One of the PCs is a druid who runs a winery. I had the DA hire on with a group of new employees. It waited until it was just he and the druid working late and BAM! The druid died and the DA shoved his body into a wine barrel and stacked it up with all the rest. He then went on to try to kill the rest of the party in their home but failed and narrowly escaped.The next session was a race-against-time where the surviving PCs had to find the druid's body in time to use raise dead on it. They also spent weeks of real time fortifying their home and preparing defenses.</blockquote>
