[Iron] IronNPC -- RAY SILVER WINS!

Thanks Cedric! I was trying to figure out a way a mummy could be ultrasonic... so I took what I thought was the simplest route. Give the mummy sonic powers! But why would a mummy have sonic powers? Either they were given to it upon creation, or he already have them. Since I wanted a compelling reason for the quicksilver sword to be in existance, the mummy had to be (or have been) intelligent. Thus, a failed lich-esque raising of the dead for a sonicly-inclined sorcerer.
Of course, it may have just been the fact I was up reeeeeeeally late that night...

Ray Silver Entry Synopsis
Ingredients:
- Kobold Sorcerer(s): 5
- Love-Struck Fool: 4
- Misleading Monument: 1
- Nature vs. Nurture: 7
- Orcus: 8
- Pernicious Advisor: 3
BONUS INGREDIENTS:
- Quicksilver: 3
- Rast Hunter: -4
- Shadow of the God: 5
- Theater of Conflict: -2
- Ultrasonic Mummy: 5
- Vengence Denied: 3
Personality: 18
Usefulness: 16
Bad Things:
Misleading Monument: there's no way you could say that it was misleading. "Inadvertantly good prediction" is the closest you could come to saying it was less than perfectly prophetic. And instead of misleading the Kobolds, it seems to have given them excellent direction!
Pernicious Advisor: From http://www.m-w.com/ we see that pernicious means:
1 : highly injurious or destructive : DEADLY
2 archaic : WICKED
... and our very manipulative advisor, Takmarek's mother, is neither of these things. She doesn't have his interests at heart, it's true, but neither does she desire his destruction or injury.
Rast Hunter: Rasts have an Int score of 3. They're not prime hunter material. Not only that, but they don't seem to have hands -- so I can't picture one using any kind of sword. Bleah.
The rest was pretty good. I like the idea of a LN Kobold savior, and I like how he's done.

It's in the Monster Manual.
Too true. The only really misleading part was that it wasn't really a monument... just a convenient rock formation twisted to a desired end. Guilty as charged.Nifft said:
I was trying to figure out a way to make her more wicked, but I just liked her too darn much!
With that I shall counter with my closing comments on my entry.
So it's a special rast.
Maybe I should have given the quicksilver blade a dancing quality so that the rast would have had more of a reason to want it. Even if it couldn't directly use it, the banishment and dismissal abilities would have been nice to have for a creature that does a lot of planeshopping and hunting planar creatures. I probably should have made that more explicit. Thanks! I had a lot of fun writing it.
