Once you start equiping your assassins, the rules change. I think that a lowly
C'tis empoisoner can take out pretty much anyone and anything unless it is
scripted expressely against assassination. How?

A standard of the Damned, a wraith crown, and a ring of sorcery will give him
the drain life spell, a meat shield, and the ability to raise more skeletons.
Stack the decks further with a luck amulet, a chainmail of displacement, and
boots of quickness, and you are looking at a monster... and an expensive one,
at that. But I have seen some people get crazy in the late game...

In tune with Yvelina's empowered succubus, here is a sample of what I found
behind my defenses once. It easily wiped out 35 wolves and eleven points of
lizard province defense... but frankly, is it worth the gems investment?
