The Telal are a cowardly psionic fiend who prefers to run than do battle. The Telal are not effective combatants but are employed by the fiend armies as spies. The Telal are often sent about in different guises to gather information that is relative to the fiends. In their natural form, Telal look like blue colored humaniods with the head of a beetle bearing curved horns and large clawed hands and feet. The Telal are particularily scrawny for fiends. Their might is not in brawn but rather in their great psionic abilities that far surpass that of other fiends.
COMBAT
The Telal fear combatand avoid it at all costs as they are weak and cowardly when attacked up close. If they have to fight they prefer fighting from a distance, using their powers to harm their enemies. In melee, they attack with what ever they can as they attempt to get out of range.

The Telal as of the present: For the most part, the Telal are trapped within numer though there was a group of them that was a few armies of them that were trapped upon the world when the gates closed. The Telal armies met each other in secrecy and planned a way to survive yet be of some use. They split up into a numbr of cells and spread across the lands in many different disguises according to the places they were in. Some changed into animals while others changed into humans and bluffed there ways into high honors with the remaining peoples. The hidning Telals avoid people of high magic and psionic levels as they might be noticed for what they actually were...spying fiends. The left over Telal have spread all over the world in many different forms and are collecting information daily. The Telal are very hard to notice as they can take the form of anything...such as one that is disguised as a sentient sword. Anyways, if you want to go further with this...go ahead and let me know. Any toher fiends...post'em here.
