[QUOTE="Olive, post: 1181662, member: 1297"] Hi all... This is a NPC for my campaign, a cataboligne demon (updated to 3.0 in Dragon 295, updated to 3.5 by me [url="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=66823"]here[/url], with 2 levels of the Fiend of Corruption PrC from the [i]Fiend Folio[/i]. Dreadwail deligts most of all in bringing humanoid races into conflict with each other, especially humans and elves. She is currently [i]bound[/i] in a cave deep within the Hogara Mountains, but was found recently by an evil elven ranger who she has convinced to start a group designed to drive humans out of the area. The ranger doesn't know she's a demon, as she appeared to him in an alternate form, but he does know she is bound and wishs to help her escape - something that cannot be achieved while humans live among the elves. The PCs encounted her last night far ahead of when I planned for them to do so), but she appeared to them as an elderly but beutiful elven woman, and told them that the wizard who bound her did so to convince her to marry him. They have no idea what is going on. :D Anyway, let me know what you think of Dreadwail. I'd like to give her some kind of sonic attack, but I don't want to bump the CR up really, as the PCs are still only 7th level, so I want them to be about 10th, or at least 9th when they face her. I was thinking of making the name ironic ang giving her a siren's song (from the [i]MM2[/i]that she can use to make extra suggestions.
