Jack stated in the first mage cave that the spell runs until it stops detecting a threat, and even Arthur's Version burnt out almost as soon as the need for the spell ended. If the detection portion of the spell can be spoofed, the massive hangovers would kick in, making the fight a lot easier. Of course, that's up to you two to work out. Another means might be just as fun.

That would be tricky, wouldn't it?

It would all depend on the complexity of the spell's threat routine. A spell optimized for use in a group setting could easily reduce the level of monitoring, relying instead on the individual's sense of threat (which would likely be accurate, since it would interact with that of his companions). For that sort of spell, something such as teleporting the party but leaving illusions behind to be killed could be enough. The illusions would be reasonably complex; they would need to provide resistance to weapons (not just thin air) and realistic death effects. Once the bandits "finished" their job, they should relax, ending the spell.

I realize it's somewhat complex and bordering on gamey, if that term can be applied to a roleplay. I just thought it was unique after a few rounds of Posts in a more traditional battle style. You know, flying golems and falling trees and exploding force walls. This would be something new and exciting.

We still don't know if they have a signal to be teleported back when they win, and there really is no way to tell what flavor of enhancement spell they have. We do know that they are down to 19 now, thanks to Narp's head jab. If we make them chase us down into the tower, they may split up (especially if they see us--or illusions of us--splitting up). Divide and conquer?
