Events were slowly coming to a head as several powerful factions vied for control of the fabled Chalice of Dawn, an artifact that could tap into the very energies of creation itself. One of the factions was the extremely powerful Hierarchs of the Horned Society. The Scourge of Erythnul is one of these hierarchs. Unfortunately, the campaign came to a premature end, and the players never had a chance to literally save the world from being remade into something considerably more hellish.[sblock=The Scourge of Erythnul; CR 20Giant two-headed troll fighter 10]CE Huge giantInit +5; Senses darkvision 90 ft., low-light vision, scent, Listen +9, Spot +9Languages Giant-----AC 26 (-2 size, +1 Dex, +8 natural, +9 armor), touch 9, flat-footed 25; protection from goodhp 382 (24 HD); regeneration 5Resist acid 20, fire 20Fort +27, Ref +8, Will +6; protection from good-----Spd 30 ft.
