This one has pondered how to address this…

Like Conan in the movies, this one merely sneaks into the Setite tower, murders the leader, steals their plunder and leaves.
It also works much like PvP in the game. Find where the anti-climb is weak, infiltrate, use telekinetic explosive placement, call it a day.

However…
Where is the Barbaric power fantasy fulfillment?
Where is the glory of the battle at the mounds where few stood against many and the battle pleased Crom.

In many ways this raid target is both the perfect intersection Conan as a thief and the realities of PvP in the game… and an example of why that doesn’t always work.

Having a clown car of constantly respawning Stygians does illustrated how little they care about loss of life, throwing ever more soldiers to die.
On the other… Where do they all sleep? Where is their food? The immersion break is somewhat jarring.
It’s very gamey, and not in the fun way.

Should it be easy?
No, not for a frontal assault. But a systemic effort to kill everyone there should be as valid as a targeted assassination.
Having such a a rapid respawn rate is fake difficulty.
