[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7134858, member: 20323"] The first is "the agent/manager" who makes certain the other two get where they're supposed to go to deliver messages (a magma mephit messenger represents either a gift of gloating or an expression of displeasure) and "negotiates on their behalf" with the fire mages. He was inspired by a throwaway line from the AD&D monster manual: [I]Some fire mephits affect a mustache, goatee, and tiny horns on their forehead, but these are always faked.[/I] [SBLOCK=The Agent/Manager Mephit][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9Q2i3sg.jpg[/IMG][/SBLOCK] Here is the slow-one of the bunch. Tentatively named "Droopy" (but could use a better name). While magma mephits are notoriously slow creatures, "Droopy" is especially ponderous, sometimes laughing in a voice that sounds like lava hissing against the ocean several hours later when he [I]finally[/I] gets a joke. An unfortunate mephit prank – involving "Droopy" being immersed in a pool of water – cost him his wings and left arm which appear liked cooled black lava.
