What are the BBEG's armies?

[pennywit]

So we're approaching the crescendo of the final module at my table, and my players are going to enter Thousandbreaths soon. Considering my players have all these nifty mortal armies lying around, I'd like to challenge their kingdom back home while they're in Thousandbreaths. What might be some possible armies for Nyrissa?

I have the High Folly army in front of me.

Other things I'm thinking of:

* Twigjacks.

* Fey birds who swoop over the capital's defenses

* Cruel pixie archers

* Redcaps thirsting for the enemy's blood.

* Quicklings

Any other ideas?

[Indraea]

Korreds and Spriggans are two other options that make perfect sense as armies/warbands. Svartalfars are another option, but I tend to associate them with Count Ranalc, so I wouldn't likely utilize them unless I was playing up Nyrissa's connection to him.

Oooh. What a great idea!

I would maybe draw on the denizens of Thousandbreaths for ideas. Four-armed frost giants, mandragoras, giant trolls, hags (riding nightmares?), large nightmare rooks, etc.

[The Sideromancer]

I would expect a sizable amount of summoned and/or charmed/dominated animals.

The Vildravn from B5 is a fey tailor-made to take on armies, though CR 16 means there probably aren't many of them.

I've already used a Vilderavn as a major villain (he's currently playing a game of thrones in Brevoy).
