Description and Background    Description: Age: 22 Height: 6’ 5” Weight: 210 Hair: none Eyes: Amber Skin: Green Goddess: Shekinester Holy Symbol: Mirror Background: History Zirus hails from a nearby territory which is controlled by his people – Marsh Haven. His folk tend to keep to themselves, but any who pass near to or through their territory are subject to the often harsh sovereignty of the Lizard Tribe. Zirus is an aspirant to the tribe’s Priest Class and has served in rituals for blessing of food and personal objects. He aspires to join the main circle at which point he will be awarded with true power. In order to foster true wisdom and prepare for this next stage in his ascension, Zirus has elected to travel into the wider world as a way to learn more about its people, its customs, and devour them. Personality Zirus is not especially talkative, but will often engage with others and with his environment nonverbally. Zirus has been known to disengage from his surroundings – delving into his own personal space from time to time as if suddenly in deep contemplation or meditation. Zirus has an intensely spiritual outlook on the world – but has limited respect for or understanding of non-reptilian religious orders. Attitude Towards Party Members Zirus views fellow party members as curiosities. Warm-blooded ways of relating are foreign to Zirus. However, he has learned how to emulate the sorts of niceties that are exchanged between humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings. His attempts at social behavior and small talk sometimes come off as forced which, to be fair, they are. Zirus does recognize the need to value the other members of his party – understanding quite well that their survival is tied to his own. This respect is strained, though, for a fallen party member – for then Zirus’s practical side would identify that person as food. Attitude Towards Society / Civilization Any group larger than 100 is abstract to Zirus. He has a limited understanding of laws unless they have an apparent and immediate purpose. He does recognize the authority of the strong over the weak. Zirus sees the value of abiding by local customs – thoug

Notes

Contents of Wood Elf Diary The diary Zirus acquired from the podium in the theatre room is written in elf-tongue. The pages are crumbling and faded. It appears to be written by a wood elf from a long forgotten community. The first few pages tell that he was the eldest member of a council that resided in the Seamyst Forest; the forest you have no knowledge of. His name was Dinenor. Many of the pages describe council meetings that took place in a small theatre room, beneath a great oak tree of grand spirit. The final pages tell about a grim time for the wood Elves. War with a wizard named Damara and the loss of their forest to the humans from the city of Dragons Belch. The final entry depicts the last stand by Dinenor and his wife and small child. This is the last entry. Lizard Man Race Writeup Lizardfolk Lizardfolk history goes back as far as the dinosaurs. Evolving from small, swamp creatures, this carnivorous species has had a varied and tumultuous history. There were times when they were regarded as pets to the Dragon Kings of old, and at other times they have been enslaved by various other races, including the once and mighty Dragons. Today Lizardfolk have spread their kind throughout the world. Before the Age of Darkness Lizardfolk ruled a mighty kingdom that stood proudly among the other kingdoms. Their pride, like that of the other mighty kingdoms at the time, played a significant role in the nearly destroying Petrum. Lizardfolk are humanoid creatures standing between 6’ to 7’ tall, with green, gray, or brown scales, and typically weigh between 200 and 250 lbs. Their tails, typically 3’ to 4’ in length, are used for balance. The official language of the Lizardfolk is Draconic, but nearly all speak common as well. They have an affinity for human flesh, and many spend their whole lives traveling abroad to study other races, and societies to better understand, and thereby plot their next meal. Lizardmen have maintained many of their aquatic characteristics since their days with the dinosaurs. In combat Lizardfolk appear to fight in an unorganized fashion, which typically lending a sense of chaos to their battle strategies. This is merely one of their many battle strategies they employ to dupe their victims. They are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for extended periods of time. There is a secondary pigmy race of Lizardmen, which have not come as far as their larger cousins. They stand between 3’ and 4’ tall and weight between 90 and 100 lbs. They are somewhat less organized as a society and tend to stay in the more wild areas of the planet. Typical Racial Features Age: 20 – 80 yrs (Pigmy 10 – 20 yrs) Height: 6’ – 7’ (Pigmy 3’ – 4’) Weight: 200 – 250 lbs (Pigmy 90 – 100 lbs) Hair: None Eyes: Varies Skin: Green, gray, or brown scales Attributes Languages Known: Draconic, Common Weapon Proficiencies: Any Armor Allowance: Any Vision: Darkvision 60’ Speed: 60’/Swim 120’ (Pigmy 40’/Swim 90’) Abilities Natural armor (+5 AC) Aquatic traits (see below) Human flesh weakness (WIS-DC, 1d3 rounds) (see below) Darkvision 60’ Natural swimmers (See below) Balance & Jumping Hold breath (4 x CON rounds) (see below) Natural weapons – Bite, claw, claw (1d4/1d2/1d2) (Pigmy 1d3/1/1) Aquatic Traits Because of their aquatic characteristics Lizardmen must wet themselves once per day (min of 1 waterskinfull). Failing to do so will result in a temporary loss of CON points at the rate of 3 per day. If their CON drops to zero the character will die. Human Flesh Weakness Because Lizardmen have an extremely high affinity for Human flesh, anytime they are in the presence of a human they must make a WIS-DC check or become distracted for 1d3 rounds. Success means the Lizardman has mastered his urges with concern to that particular human and their particular scent. Failure results in a state of slavering and staring. While in this state the Lizardman must make a CHA-DC each round or succumb to their urges and attack the individual in question attempting to eat him whole and uncooked. If more than one Human is in the vicinity the lizardman will choose and focus on just one. A successful CHA-DC means the Lizardman has mastered his urge to eat the human but will continue to slaver until the particular individual is no longer in sight. If that particular human is encountered again the Lizardman must begin his weakness checks again with the WIS-DC. DC = 20 – Human’s level - 15 for Amulet of Shekinester WIS-DC = 3d6 + WIS bonus + ½ level CHA-DC = 3d6 +CHA bonus + ½ level Natural Swimmers / Hold Breath Lizardmen are naturaly adept at swimming. While in the water they can swim at a rate of 120’ per round and can hold their breath for up to 4 times their CON score in rounds. While in the water Lizardmen suffer no penalties to movement or attacks. The Pigmies swim at a rate of 90’ per round and can hold their breath for 2 times their CON score in rounds. Diary of Calmert the Priest The journal/diary appears to be a combination of notes and loose letters penned by someone named Calmert, which you believe to be a priest from the letters he has written, addressed to a man named Lareth. The last page of the diary suggests that the people who resided here were leaving for a fortress in the Great Desert. Spellbook and Scroll Zirus is able to determine the spells in the book and the scroll as follows, however he will not be able to fully use them just yet. He can attempt to use the 0-level spells with a 50 chance of failure/backfire/other effect, and 1st Level spells at 75 chance of failure, so on and so on (so at 1st level you may attempt to cast 2nd level spells at 50 failure rate and 3rd level spells at 75 failure rate).

Netheril: Wizard, Dragons Belch Gunther Wilmhest: Assistant to Netheril, Dragons Belch Grognork Kettleforge: Fighter, Wood Elf Home Gavin Moorehouse: Knight, Hommlet Clyde: Hireling, Eddistone Point Cullivan: Druid, Eddistone Point Shaador: Ranger, Eddistone Point Caiden Cross: Rogue, Satan's Crack Clement, Cleric: Eddistone Point Snake Scepter Sceptre of Spiteful Love This heavy, thick, three foot long rod is made of silver alloys, has three thin snakes intertwined along its shaft, the head of snake at the crown sporting two sharp fangs, and a sharkskin leather grip is lashed to the base of the handle with softened gut twine. When used as a weapon, normal attack vs AC, it does 2d4 hp in damage. On the first successful hit the scepter absorbs the life-force (hp) of the victim and then uses that life-force to inflict secondary damage on the next attack. The life-force is stored in the septre, after the first attack, indefinitely, until a second, subsequent attack is made. i.e. First attack does 4 hp. The sceptre stores the 4 hp as a charge. On the second attack 2d4=5+4 hp. The 4 hp from the first attack is added to the second attack. In addition, the scepter may also be used to heal a character. After the initial attack has been made and the sceptre has been charged, simply place the head of the scepter on the forehead of the intended recipient and utter the command “Sana.” The stored hp will then be transferred to the recipient. Wand of Wonders Wand of Wonders This small, simple, wooden wand will grant the user 3 wonders per day. The wielder need only point and command. The wielder can describe or otherwise invoke their intended effects followed by the command word “praesta.” A wonder can be in the form of an object, animal, action, command, or pretty much anything the wielder can think of. Be careful when and how you use this device as it has a mind of its own. You never know what you’ll actually get. (DM determines the outcome) Spirit Walk Spell Scroll Spell scroll: Spirit Walk Level: 3 Range: Touch Duration: 1 Turn + 1d4 rounds per level Area of Effect: Creature or object touched Casting Time: 6 Segments Reversible: Re-enter physical body Saving Throw: N/A Affected target is able to leave their body in spirit form and move around freely.

Only magical weapons of +2 or better can physically damage an individual in spirit form. Characters must return to and re-enter their physical body prior to expiration of the spell or forever remain in spirit form.
