I think I shall play Graz’zt as a very polite, yet bored hedonist. This is why he loves the two Greater Succubi; they are able to truly entertain him, and they know how to please him like no other.
When he meets with the PCs he will be watching a swordfight, which will only last a few seconds. The victor will be obviously much more skillful than his opponent and will dispatch his opponent quickly. Graz’zt will be annoyed that he never gets to see a truly epic fight. He will then notice of the 19th level duelist in the party and will offer him a chance to duel the victor.
Knowing the duelist he would never pass up a chance to duel and show off his skill. This will also let Graz’zt judge the party’s power level so that he knows if they are worth dealing with or if they are wasting his time.
So what I need are ideas and possibly stat blocks for a swordsman/duelist who could be a great challenge for a 19th level duelist.
Also, if anyone could provide me with some vocabulary about dueling, names of some sword forms, etc. So that Graz’zt can critique the fight and sound like a connoisseur of great swordsmanship, that would be great!
What are some other things the PCs might witness while in Graz’zt’s company?
What are some other personality traits Graz’zt might have? So far I have, polite, intelligent, clever, hedonistic, bored, cautious… What would you add?
Also what other things might he like (Like sword fighting, that I can use to make him more real, and sympathetic) Perhaps he plays a musical instrument of some sort like the violin filling the halls of his keep with haunting melodies?
