Hello all.
I am planning an encounter for my group centered around a frontier type village that is ruled by a bad guy. The NPC in question is a human cleric of Asmodeus (level 9 with Evil and Trickery Domains). He has a cohort who is his enforcer within the village to keep everyone inline (cohort is a human monk/weapon adept 7). Basically I want to run this encounter like a Western, where a small town has a legitimate but evil ruler and the heroes roll up and find themselves in the middle of that situation. The Cleric is more of a talker than a fighter, letting his monk buddy be his muscle, but is no slouch if it comes to fisticuffs.
My request for help is for a few key spells this 'black hat' might prep?
Thank you.
