Description and Background    Description: Azoth Al-Aziz is a tall, thin, spider of a man with dark features and darker mien. He is crowned with a black turban, and plagued with a great and terrible dignity. When he goes to war, he is adorned with a horned ceremonial helmet and holy, black plate mail etched with runes and scenes of meteors crashing to earth. He wields a sacred Rod inscribed with R'lyehian letters, and carries a black and green shield emblazoned with his holy symbol: the Elder Sign, an all-seeing eye set in the center of a pentagram. The dark priest is a disciplined, cautious and deliberate planner. He values order, tradition, hierarchy, and the security they seemingly provide. Background: Since childhood, Azoth Al-Aziz has served Nodens, Elder God of the Great Abyss and the temporary imprisoner of Cthulhu. Al-Aziz is no proselytizer, seeking to covert men to his god. Nodens cares not for Men, let alone worshipers. His church is a secret cult. Al-Aziz serves his dark master by being ever vigilant of encroachments by the Great Old Ones and their Minions, through the thin veil that men call reality, into this plane of existence. It is this service that brought Al-Aziz far from his desert homeland of Zakhara to follow rumors of the legendary Hidden Shrine. That, and the prospect to gain secret knowledge, and therefore power, to use in his lifelong duty to his dread, uncaring lord. Secondary skill: Scholar Source Material: H.P. Lovecraft Robert E.

Notes

Cleric Spells Azoth Al-Aziz can memorize: Five 1st level spells Five 2nd level spells Three 3rd level spells Turning Undead Skeleton: D Zombie: D Ghoul: T Shadow: T Wight: 4 Ghast: 7 Wraith: 10 Mummy: 13 Spectre: 16 Vampire: 20 Ghost: - Lich: - Special: - Magic Items 1. Meditation Rug of Corporeal Transcendence. With proper contemplative prayer, this small carpet will fly. Concentration is required to maintain flight, so the passenger can take no other action. The 3'x3' rug will fly 60' per round. Can be used two times a day. Duration: one round per point of Intelligence. It requires intense meditation to fly it, hence the limits. Purportedly woven of griffon hairs. 2. Rod of Nodens. +2 rod 1d8 damage. Once a week may summon a Nightgaunt to fight for the wielder in a given battle. As related in the bardic tales of The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, Nodens is served by nightgaunts. The rod is carved in runes: Out of what crypt they crawl, I cannot tell, But every night I see the rubbery things, Black, horned, and slender, with membranous wings, They come in legions on the north wind's swell With obscene clutch that titillates and stings, Snatching me off on monstrous voyagings To grey worlds hidden deep in nightmare's well. Over the jagged peaks of Thok they sweep, Heedless of all the cries I try to make, And down the nether pits to that foul lake Where the puffed shoggoths splash in doubtful sleep. But ho! If only they would make some sound, Or wear a face where faces should be found! 3. Magic plate mail of brass, +1, +2 vs. heat attacks and heat Saves. Etched with runes and scenes of meteors crashing to earth. Once a day it can radiate light, per spell.
