[QUOTE="Shade, post: 5326551, member: 287"] Agreed. Next... [B]The Dark: The Wyrm[/B] Over the countless generations that the strain of wyvern known as the Mercykiller Wyrm has been out on the Great Ring, it has been bred for ferocity and for the exquisite functionality of its venom, not for intelligence or hunting skills. Its wings are well-nigh vestigial stubs, able to flap and carry the beast aloft for a mere minute or two before its weight brings it back to the ground. Wyrm venom is a valued commodity, since it is the primary ingredient in the Cager version of a potion of truth, which functions just like a ring of truth. Berks forced to drink the potion (a simple matter of pinching their nostrils shut while pouring it into their maw—anyone who doesn’t swallow drowns) will be affected for 1-6 turns. The Mercykillers consider this much more humane than the alternatives. (Shudder.) [B]The Great Green Wyrm of the Mercykillers:[/B] AC 0; MV 9; FL 18 (E); HD 9+9; hp 80; THAC0 13; #AT 2; Dmg 2d10/1d10 plus poison; SZ G (40’ long); ML elite (14); Int low (5); AL NE; XP 10,000. Anyone attacking or even molesting the Wyrm will suffer the full wrath of the Mercykillers and will be hounded out of the city by their constant attempts to exact justice for the crime. This includes disturbing the Wyrm to gather its valuable venom, which the Mercykillers (not unreasonably) consider their exclusive property.
