Advice


So to preface this, let me go ahead and list the party:

Human Samurai
Tiefling Spellslinger/EK
Human Druid (Weather Domain, so no AC)
Half-elf Ranger (Switch hitter with a cat AC)
Gnome Cleric 6/ Rogue 6

All level 12, and above WBL guidelines. If you think you're in this group, you're one of my players, so stop reading!

Now the situation. They are in book five and are currently on part three. I'll put the rest in a spoiler so people don't freak out about it.

Current Sit-rep:
The group was having some significant trouble when they first entered the Shadow Maze. They fell back to the town and regrouped for an assault the following day. They managed to get up to Yugureda Shosaito without any real difficulty this time, mainly because they made most of the correct choices in the maze.

To be frank, he tore them up something fierce. To complicate it, the party couldn't deal with the summons quickly enough, so he just pelted them with his lightning and laughed as they struggled.

As a last ditch effort though, the party fled (using a teleportation magic, with the bodies of the two women. At this point, Yugureda is at about 50% on his spells and 95% on his health. The party has taken the bodies, but left the soul, so we are at a bit of a stand-off.

Alright, so now the advice I'm seeking. How would you run Yugureda's attempt to either destroy the party or at least retrieve the women? I assume he would probably wait to recover his spells, but what then? He needs the bodies, and the party needs the soul.

If you've gotten this far through my post, then I appreciate the forthcoming sage advice.

Have him make contact with the party wanting to negotiate. Arrange a time and a place. He brings four with him to match the party. Of course, it's a trap, and the party knows it. The fun is in how they work out a trap of their own instead.

The setting will be key. Perhaps an ancient temple with an anti-magic field to make everyone more comfortable? The catch being that it has an off-switch? Something like that.
