How would you defeat Rakdos?

[Zhentarim]

Ah, thank you - Saves and Checks always get me mixed up for some reason. A point in our favour then, but you're right about the damage. I thought about trying to Disarm the guy at which point his Claws are much less threatening, but at +15 to hit plus Advantage for being Huge it'd take a lot of effort that could just be spent beating him down. Maybe one of our Conquest Paladin could Guided Strike the roll, but.... Oh well.



My alternate idea would be like this, but using a far more guaranteed source of support: Other Guilds.

Go be a Goblin Bard at Rakdos - call him names, make him angry, all the rest of it, and then get him to chase you on a rampage across the City. 80ft flying speed per round isn't insurmountable, and you don't have to stay head of him forever - just until you find an area wherein the Boros/Gruul borders to Golgari. The Red/White Angels would be perfectly happy to bring the fiend to task just for the destruction he had caused in getting there let alone for being what he is and eventually they will take him down, as will the Gruul just because they want to fight something. Then drop his body into the sewers and let the Golgari feed it to the mushrooms to make sure he doesn't get better again... sounds like fun, to me!

So far, this sounds like the most fun option. I'll go for it.

Alternatively sell the corpse to the Simic, so if he does come back then it will be as a mind-addled mutant fish-thing and thus can be someone else's problem.

Disclaimer: Even if the chain of events could in some theoretical way be construed as "my idea" I take no responsibility for whatever happens in either event, so if you get killed and eaten it's not my fault, nor is it if word starts getting out and one of the Boros stooges happen to find out who started the rampage in the first place.....

Glory to the Orzhov!

Reminder that he can Dash while flying for 160 ft of movement per round.

Or PoE or Council's Judgment or Terminus or...

My old rav block B/W/G control deck would generally take him out with Putrefy or Mortify. Or maybe an Angel of Despair.

Then the trick would be to grapple him, so that his speed is 0. :-)

Wait a minute... Performance... grappling...

Of course! The solution is to challenge Rakdos to a pro wrestling match!

I'll see if I can get Waterdeep Pale Ale to sponsor the match; you want a cut of the ad revenue? My devil lawyer will talk to your devil lawyer.
