Generally the hero shadow dwellers including the Emperor are hidden, so it's impossible for most race/classes to hunt them. The others tend to huddle around the mummy. The rare chance I get to strike any of them 1on1 I take, hopefully they see/respect that. It sucks when it's 5:1 for a defense situation in a cabal. Occasionally I'll actually bother to try and retrieve but usually I know it's a suicide mission.

While I know it's not good Empire RP it would be nice if the players in the high ranks of Empire would take it easy every once and a while and not do everything they can to maximize their potential. *shrug*
