A diviner, properly motivated, can be a really nasty villain. They can learn just about anything with proper time and preparation. In particular, he could easily learn about the other villain threads, and help to tie them together. Since he's associated with Orcus, he can also call upon the demon lord's assistance. I'm not familiar with Rappan Athuk - can Orcus do anything where he's currently located? I'm assuming that he can do some, or at least tell his clerics to. The following assumes that.Orcus is the lord of the undead, yes? If a bunch of assassins suddenly die because of the PCs, they could easily be brought back as undead. I'd be scared about a bunch of undead-templated assassins - shadows, wights, and maybe a bodak or a devourer. I seem to recall that there are templates for these undead types so that they can retain their class levels. Presumably the seer can move back and forth between town and the depths of Rappan Athuk. He'd also be able to move the assassins to where they need to be for the final fight.What class is Lady Aborn? For some reason, I'm picturing a villain with a pair of undead grafted arms where her arms used to be, since they'd almost certainly break off if just her arms were turned to stone. Since such a horrible deformity would almost certainly mean she couldn't be a normal ruler, this would probably drive her crazy. She'd be all about revenge if the seer contacted her - maybe she was asking around town about the PCs, or had agents doing so?</blockquote>
