Encounters
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 revolves around the powerful buffs that the various Echoes can provide Sarevok. Each of them will give him incredibly powerful permanent buffs once they die but allowing them to live will result in them casting other spells such as , , and which make the fight more difficult. Indeed, will often result in the death of Echo of Amelyssan no matter whom the party tries to kill first. It is generally advisable to avoid killing Echo of Sendai and Echo of Illasera for as long as possible, since their on-death effects make Sarevok much harder to kill and allow him to attack more often.
Sarevok is at his most dangerous during long and protracted fights in which the Echoes die off, but is much easier to manage if the party has enough burst damage and high initiative to kill him quickly. Once he dies, the Echoes and other conditional enemies can be killed quickly without fear of their on-death buffs.
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 and the Echoes will teleport into 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.
