Well, stripping their foes of everything of value proved to be fairly easy.  The news that one of the wands they possessed might Identify the various trinkets they had picked up was welcome, as well.  If Aria was able to do so, then Rose certainly had no problems with it.  Of course, the removal of a pair of magic rings brought about a revelation, unmasking the pair of 'elves' as drow magicians...<br/><br/>The interrogation didn't take too long after that.  A little intimidation (easy when she was still ten feet tall), a little lie detection, a few questions...  Before long, they learned all they needed to know.  An apprentice of Astos, hoping to learn from his arcane teachings and assisting him in his plot, the dark elf being interrogated was forced to tell the two women everything they wanted to know, and then once more returned to unconscious.  Then, looking towards the direction they had been pointed in, the shifter tried to pick out the furthest open space she could teleport the two of them to.<br/><br/>Returning back to regular size, she held the tiefling close, gave her another kiss, and then teleported the two of them off, to walk back along that forest path and help close the distance every now and then with more teleportation magic.  Hopefully, the next few miles would go by in a flash.<br/><br/>"So, it would seem that this time, our foe is a fairly powerful spellcaster."  Rose noted, as they walked along.  "I'm not exactly much for dealing with spellcasters myself, I'm afraid.  I mean, I can cut them up easily enough when they get within range of my blade, but that magic can be fairly dangerous to deal with.  Got any strategies, lover?"<br/><br/><br/><br/>Actually, I remember seeing this one thread on the Wizards of the Coast forums where someone analyzed the various different saves of different mosters as the levels went on.  They were all averaged, so obviously there are going to be outliers, but Reflex saves basically tank as monsters go up in HD, with Will saves coming in second and Fortitude saves being the one that skyrockets as levels go on.  Plus, you also come into contact with more and more monster types that have no need to make Fort and Will saves as levels go up.<br/><br/>There are also plenty of tricks for dealing with spell resistance, as I recall, usually involving boosting caster levels, though I've also heard good things about the Assay Spell Resistance spell...
