Advice for Abysia against Niefelheim

[Aleph]

What about Demonbred assassins with annoying items to try to pick off his leadership? I don't know, fire bolas, poison weapons + medallions of vengeance, maybe a black bow of botulf to at least feeblemind his blessers, or perhaps equip your assassins with slave collars and hope his prophet grabs it by accident. While he can take lots of ablative commanders to try to thin out your percentages on assassination, you can probably wipe out those guys with battlefield spells in your hit and run attacks.

I can't think of too many cost-effective ways to assassinate Niefel Jarls with Demonbred assasins or slayers.

Well, I listed two of them above - you only have to hit with a black bow for auto feeblemind, and you can always gamble on the slave collar pickup, neither of which are expensive. He also said he's got heaps of money so he can try pretty much anything, so my impression was that it was less about cost effectiveness and more about getting the job done. It just depends on what indeps he's been able to pick up.

Demonbred assasins with cursing/affliction causing/diseasing weapons could be damaging to jarls that are equipped but i dont see them being too cost effective gem-wise(although boots of quickness, robe of shadows and 2 high damage AP/AN weapons might work)

edit: alephs idea of putting a load of cursed items on the demonbreds should also work(are cursed items automatically picked up? i forget. If so i hope it dosnt also count for magic hearts )
