[QUOTE="Goobermunch, post: 1576858, member: 10516"] Another alternative was recently discussed on the Wizard's Website. Check this link for an article on "double-agent weaponry." [url]http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20040301a[/url] Here's how it works. Send a moderately competent assassin after the party. Arm said assassin with a decently powerful magic item for their level. Make said weapon distinctive enough for your magic-user to scry on its location (this is just my idea . . . as a DM I'd rule that an unattended item can be scried upon). Also, enchant the item with the eavesdropping ability. The party kills the assassin, finds the magic item and keeps it (even if only for a short period of time). The wizard scries on the weapon, allowing her to observe the party. The wizard also uses the eavesdropping ability to listen in on their evening discussions around the campfire. This allows the wizard to be more familiar with the party for subsequent scrying attempts. --G [/QUOTE]
