[QUOTE="ElectricDragon, post: 7446125, member: 10778"] [b]Canon [/b] Arkonseptsis has made it his personal goal to wipe out magic in the world. He has left more than one subterranean city in ruins and at least one on the surface world. He mostly ignores non-magical opponents. Rumors of his existence abound nearly everywhere deep underground. Abundant occurrences of black puddings are an indication that he is dangerously near. His heralds as it were. Arkonseptsis is not happy just killing; he must destroy magic: items, spellcasters, creatures with spell-like abilities, active spell effects, magical traps, even undead. He will hunt down any spellcasting creatures or creatures with spell-like effects he has seen, relentlessly; though sometimes he takes his draconic time to do so. Magic items infuriate him; so much so, that he sometimes stops battle just to destroy one. Most who survive his initial wrath use this lull in the fight to run away. For some few, this tactic actually works for a while. Sacrificing a magic item or magic-using creature sometimes satisfies him enough to forego killing that "worshipper" for at least a day. Arkonseptsis starts most battles with a spit. Next round he charges to utilize his Dire Charge feat and get his full attack. Then his opponents must deal with possible cursed party members, his divine aura (fear), and his disease aura before they can reply to his devastation. He spreads out his attacks to up to four opponents he can reach each round. He saves his tail sweep until he can get at least 3 creatures with it. Outrunning Arkonseptsis is not possible, unless his attention is diverted somehow... [b]Clerics, and Holy Sites[/b] Arkonseptsis has only creatures that he has cursed, called slime keepers, for "worshippers." Slime keepers can be found wearing any type of clothing, most times it will be wrinkled, stained, and dirty, or in rags anyway. All divine spellcasting slime keepers continue to use their former holy symbol; for some reason, even though still dedicated to their original deity, it continues to work for them in their cursed state. Perhaps in essence, though their soul still belongs to their professed deity, they do worship Arkonseptsis, for they do gather magic with which to fight him or to sacrifice in hope of appeasement, all to no avail. Arkonseptsis gets to destroy even more magic through the slime keepers sacrifices and eventual deaths. There are no temples to Arkonseptsis and any temporarily consecrated sites made for the sacrifice of magic or magic-using creatures soon fall into disrepair and become unconsecrated. Though not actually a holy sight, Arkonseptsis is thought to have a cavern where he stores his treasure (all non-magical), a horde of a size that would make any dragon proud, somewhere deep underground loaded with non-magical death traps and ooze guardians.
