Encounter details
Sarevok can be fought at the Murder Tribunal in the Lower City Sewers. He is joined by echoes of Sendai, Illasera, and Amelyssan, as well as other conditional allies.
If the player convinces Dolor to take up arms against the Murder Tribunal, Sarevok will cast Power Word Kill on Dolor, instantly killing him.[url 1]
This fight greatly revolves around the Echoes. Each Echo will contribute to the fight in one of three ways, depending on whether it and Sarevok are alive:
- While Sarevok is alive, each living Echo uses spells to support him or hinder the party, but they do not directly attack the party.
- When an Echo is killed, it grants a permanent "Absorbed Essense" buff to Sarevok.
- When Sarevok is killed, any surviving Echoes gain and begin attacking the party directly.
Tactics
Echo of Amelyssan's will often result in her dying first, but fortunately, her Absorbed Essence is relatively harmless. It is advisable to avoid killing Echo of Sendai and Echo of Illasera, since their Absorbed Essence effects make Sarevok much harder to kill and much more dangerous, respectively. They can instead be disabled through means such as 
or 
, or simply ignored by killing Sarevok before they can cause too much trouble. Even with , the Echoes by themselves are far less dangerous than Sarevok at full power.
This fight can also be "cheesed". Once the party has either presented the hand of a victim they killed or passed the 
DC 20 Deception check to convince Sarevok that they are worthy of becoming an Unholy Assassin, he will stand up to walk into the sacrificial chamber next door while the Echoes teleport to the room ahead of him. Attacking him at this moment leaves him extremely vulnerable because the Echoes will be too far to come to his aid.
