People, you need to get a life. The problem with narcissists is how they gain a captive audience by threat or solicitation, playing you into that futile paradox of us or them; where they can always be at the center of your attention (and divert you from anything personally creative that might challenge their lack of intellect). These are emotionally debase and underdeveloped individuals who, being totally dependent on others doing their bidding, simply know no other way of enforcing themselves. They seek security in numbers, usually sycophants and peons and if they can't outright humiliate you, they make up any lie or ugly rumour to take you down. Try to ignore them and they'll stalk you. Try to retaliate and they'll put the blame on you. Inevitably they will try to outlaw any form of opposition while encapsulating themselves in privilege. I could go on about all the tactics they conspire to have their ultimate way, but the bottom line is, it means the politics of punishment and exclusion of those who fail to conciliate and conform to whatever their double-standards until no one is left to make the necessary repairs- and by that time it's already too late. I could suggest all sorts of ways to overcome this, but the main thing is to keep your sanity and not be allured into this stigma by any knee-jerk reactions to their bodyguard of lies. Read Sun Tzu's “Art of War“ if you really want to know how to deal with the problem. If not, prepare to abandon ship. Educate yourselves.
