If I'm not mistaken read somewhere that you had mentioned in retrospect you had entertained a more unified mechanic.

His plots are often a bit wobbly but he is the master of atmosphere.<br /><br />I think the key to handling the wizards is indeed to have the contest with Epiphenes as a battle of wits. The wizard's confrontation is atmosphere and scenery, and serves to remove Epiphenes from the final fight so that the PCs must rely on their own resources to survive.<br /><br />In the original game Imref Kharid (here Ithobal) wanted the Thirteen Pages to get out: their purpose is to spread his power and viewpoint and recruit acolytes. There shouldn't be too much trouble with becoming extra's though: Kharid/Ithobal doesn't want them back, and is playing the long game. Of course, in this game they were borne off to a distant land: you might want to be careful in a campaign where the PCs are sticking around!
