His strength lies in his hand.A special note for the DM: each of the seven swords possesses a special weakness. If the characters specifically attack the item or achieve the condition, the weapon master suffers double damage from hits scored and has a -2 on initiative for the next round. The weaknesses are:Screaming Child: His rattle (AC 3).17. Screaming ChildThis room resembles a large auditorium with a stage at one end. Dim light glows from two braziers before the stage, and two bamboo screens stand at the back of the stage. A short distance inside the room, a piece of white cloth on which rests a pin lies on the floor.This is the chamber of the sixth weapon master, Ito Gohei, a dwarf wu jen. If the pin is disturbed, or the characters make any loud noise, a wail that sounds like a cross between a bawling child and a braying mule rends the air.Gohei sits on the stage to the left of the screens. He has cast chameleon on himself and is difficult to see. Unless pressed into physical combat, he sits here casting spells and using his weapon to deal with intruders.Gohei: 9th level Wu Jen, master of air (AC 10 (+1); MV 9”; hp 30; #AT 1(2); THAC0 18; Dmg 2-5 or 2-7; S 8, I 16, W 14, D 15, C 15, Ch 6; ki: +3 to initiative roll, maximum effect of one spell)His spells include:First Level: chameleon, drowsy insects, elemental burst, magic missile, shieldSecond Level: smoke shape, stinking cloud, wind breathThird Level: haste, protection from missiles, steam breathFourth Level: dancing weapon, shoutFifth Level: telekinesisGohei’s melee weapon looks like a two-foot long rattle. He has the following special attacks:Ball: The ball head is snapped up to 30 feet away on its chain, inflicting 2-5 points, then springs back to the haft.Mace: Besides the normal damage of 2-7 points, he can hurl a foe as the martial arts maneuver.Flash: A single foe within 10’ is blinded for 1-4 rounds unless a save vs. spells is made.When Ito Gohei is defeated he shrivels to nothing with a whimper. In a pouch that remains are two doses of sand of time which slows a foe for 2-8 rounds, and a small katana charm pin that fits into the medallion.Statistics[TABLE="width: 500"][TR][TD]NAME[/TD][TD]AC[/TD][TD]MV[/TD][TD]HD[/TD][TD]THAC0[/TD][TD]Dmg[/TD][TD]SA[/TD][TD]SD[/TD][TD]AL[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Gohei(Screaming Child)[/TD][TD]10+1[/TD][TD]9”[/TD][TD]9[/TD][TD]18[/TD][TD]2-5/2-7[/TD][TD]Spells[/TD][TD]Ki +3 init, max. spells[/TD][TD]CE[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]Originally from OA2 Night of the Seven Swords (1986).</blockquote>
