Hello, playground.
As some of you might remember, there is a tiefling truenamer antagonist in my game. She was part of an alite group that was after the player characters, but the players managed to scry on them an attack. After the long battle, only the truenamer escaped alive and the players had no resources left to chase her.
A few months in game time have passed, and I decided this wickedly intelligent (Int 26) character has made plans to take on the players again (she basically wants revenge because they killed her lover - what was once a job is now personal).
After running away, she gathered the soldier she still had (6 phrenic feral elves with 4 levels in Warrior; I'll call them antielves from now on) and basically took over the underworld of a medium sized city nearby. Now with this resources, she wants to get her revenge.
The players have a castle in a major city - a city that was recently almost devasted but is still protected by a mythal-like effect that blocks all divination and conjuration effects from going in. Recently, one of the players left the city to take an NPC to a distant island on her flying ship.
OK, great wall of text, I know. ^^ I just wanted to know, which kind of companion/underling should this truenamer look out for? I'm already set on Cyan, an azurin Cleric/Incandescent Champion focused on dispelling and I know her right hand man is a kiloren Marshall/Dread Commando. What kind of underling would such an intelligent opponent look for? I'm looking for mostly levels 10-13 here.
Oh, the party consists of: aasimar Paladin 4/Swordsage 9/Shiba Protector 1 with heavy wisdom focus, human Artificer 11/Sohei 1/Samurai 1, (houseruled; basically gains Dragontouched as a bonus feat) elf Warlock 7/Cyran Avenger 5, half-elf Rogue 4/Swashbuckler 4/Scarlet Corsair 4, human Lurk 5/Chameleon 7 and half-giant Psychic Warrior 5/Elocator 6. The elocator is the only one she knows nothing about.
