However, the Wystes are real easy to run away from, and a simple protection from evil renders them entirely impotent. (The death resulted from a PC taking a boneheaded action: knowing that the critter had tons of tentacular attacks, the sorceress stepped 5' away from it to cast a spell. It then got a full round of attacks on her, ripping her to shreds). Glad you like the ideas, Daniel Knight! The monkey-demons were definitely campaign specific -- my game is set in a semi-middle-Eastern world, and I wanted the demons to seem exotic but thematically appropriate, so I decided they were from a neighboring country with a semi-Indian aesthetic. I modeled them heavily after the <a href="http://www.mahidol.ac.th/images/hanuman.jpg" target="_blank">Hanuman</a> figure in Indian mythology:<img src="http://www.mahidol.ac.th/images/hanuman.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> It worked in context. Daniel</blockquote>
