So, my party, Team Home Invasion, went to the castle. They split the party, half in the front gate, half to the back of the castle.
The slime really did a number on a couple of party members be Trogomor showed up. The party was about to retreat when he showed up and after turning one of them into stone they bolted. The other half of the party and got themselves whooped on by the horned devil and a trio of barbed devils. (This half of the party had only the gunslinger's sight on his rifle as a way of spotting invisible creatures.) They barely survived. They retreated too. [This is where the game session ended.]
Now, my thought is to have Trogomor and a group of devils go after the PCs the next morning. Basically giving Trogomor time to get back his spells and some muscle. Maybe even have another monster besides a devil join him.
[If they defeat him they can go back to the castle to deal with big bad devil.]
I just don't want them to feel comfortable having one battle and going to rest. There just wouldn't be time really. I'm using the rest period to get spells back for my bad guy and change some of them.
They already defeated the efreet.
Does this sound like a decent plan?
What would you do?
It does sound like a decent plan to send someone after them, provided the bad guys know where to find the PCs. The question is whether Trogomor would join this retaliation party himself or not. Maybe he would still prefer to stay in the castle.
If the enemies don't know where to locate the PCs, you could have the Gray Maidens invade the houses of known allies of the PCs, so they realize the queen's troops are after them and their actions have consequences.
I'd do the grey maidens as well. Chance to show the dragon, let the pcs know they don't have unlimited time, let the queen declare martial law until the traitors are caught.

I would not send Togomor after them at first. In fact I see him more of the stay at home and keep sending mooks out to do stuff kind of guy. That being said, I would have him send a bunch of Gray Maidens after them. They probably can't stop the party, but I bet they can disrupt rest times, assuming they know where to find the party.
I just wanted to commend your group for their awful tactical skills. :p

Thank you. I named them 'Team Home Invasion' for a reason. :]
The dragon is already dead.
Did I mention that the party doesn't have (and has rarely had one) a cleric? }:) (I think that is changing next session.)
I like the thought of sending Torgomor to help move the story along.
Grey maidens would just be fodder. Plus they have already freed the ones in the dungeons and know that they are brainwashed/enchanted to be working for the queen.
They still have to get through the castle and find his notebooks. I'm thinking of putting another clue on his person to help guide/nudge the party.

Yeah, re: Grey Maidens, that is why I just put the 18+ of them into one combat and hand-waved it with "You use up a few area spells". My group had just before that killed Togomor, the Red Mantis, all the devils and a few more Grey Maidens in one huge encounter... and without much problems either. I think the only really hairy situation was when Togomor cast a Prismatic Spray into most party members. Mistress Kayltanya fled back to Mediogalti Island, everything else died.
