[sblock]If you don't want to do that, put a hill giant or two in the wine cellar. When the PCs encounter them, they can put up enough of a fight and a ruckus to alert the rest of the castle. And it's not exactly like putting the giants there makes no sense. The baron keeps the giants happy by indulging them with food - and a barrel of wine would certainly attract them as well.Put the baron in his mistress's chambers with his regular 8 (or more) guards alert outside. That raises the difficulty of them getting right to him and the challenge of the encounter necessary to kill him. And Quintessa can buff the guards quickly when a fight breaks out.Change out a few of Imeckus Stroon's 3rd level evocations to fireballs so he can counterspell your player's evoker. Chances are the reputations of the PCs precedes them. Any wizard who uses a lot of fireballs will probably be known for it... and face reasonably prepared opposition.Keep in mind that Drelev is currently paranoid and withdrawn. His security shouldn't really be lax. That wouldn't be very paranoid. Imeckus can cast alarm spells around the castle (if you put that in his spellbook) that will alert him silently and enable him to raise the alarm.[/sblock]</blockquote>
