Ah! I was calling them Apologists not Appeasers earlier, thus the confusion, oops! Either way, they're doing both for these evil deities I suppose as they focus on the *good* aspects of gods like Diceid, lord of Invasive species, extinction, natural disaster ;)
Or the follower of Folca who just really really likes candy, I guess... yeah not touching that concept with a ten foot pole.

I have definitely had a game where we teleported to Absalom and hired thirty wizards to simultaneously scry someone's kid, just to be almost totally sure. We wanted to make sure they didn't seek defenses once the will saves started coming. Fails on a one still is pretty good odds of failure if you're rolling more than 20 dice.
The GM was *not* fond of that tactic, let me tell you.

The polymorphic pouch gives you an easy place to store small items like wands for later grabbing.
Also, you can use elemental body to take the shape of smaller sized forms and still gain most of the scaling benefits if it becomes really necessary. Your damage dice and movement won't scale as well, but you still get the better stat boosts as you level even if you turn into a small elemental from how I understand the spell?
Here's the item:

I mean a group of 10 or wraiths getting organized is an extinction level threat, honestly... just go exclusively after undefended peasants, and spread out once you have sufficient spawn to ensure you can kill your target and be gone with only one round of combat.
Eventually you'll have powerful (or disguised) adventurers killing a few wraiths here and there, but at that point you should have hundreds, spread out all over, not committing to fights.
An apocalypse doesn't take much in a fantasy setting.

Due to my love of random tables, I've always wanted to take craft staff as a druid and make a staff of reincarnate once a week. Sure you'd probably never have the 18 pc deaths you'd need to justify it's cost, but finding at least one NPC a week who is worthy of coming back seems likely.

It seems to me that it would be a lot easier to just remove the alignment references in the rules entirely and replace them with "friend" of "foe" as appropriate. I'm not sure if that's helpful, but good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Using animate object on small boats, or even buildings and then permanencying the effect gets you a reasonably fast moving flying transport scheme.
Alternately, charm monster/dominate monster a sufficient number of Rocs and/or Thunderbirds. A druid with call animal may be extremely useful in finding enough of these usually solitary apex predators.

If you're looking for subtlety, cast invisibility sphere and possibly silence on your method of conveyance. Standard invisibility would also work, but would leave the troops themselves visible.

Good luck!

My version of the beast used to get healed by being told to hang out on tower roofs in thunderstorms (The phrase "go hug a lightning rod" was probably uttered once or twice in frustration). His father actually explained the principle well enough to him at one point that now he does the same thing with tall trees and abandoned towers for any natural healing he may need. So it may take a long time, and some luck, but eventually he can heal. It also provides cool excuses for stories about the beast menacing people since he actually DOES perch on the ruins of tall towers as lightning flashes behind him.

Actually meeting him makes him subject to a lot of divination magic I'm not sure I'm comfortable with being used considering most of the plot of book 5 seems to be asking around for where they W.W is hanging out. Not to mention the trash talking Sendings he could potentially be getting every time the PCs have a spare spell slot available ;)
