Wicked Wizard's Wondrous Wardrobe Wiped out!

[Pbartender]

Another idea is to give his house a conservatory with deadly plants inhabiting it...

Assassin Vines, Shriekers, Violet Fungus, Phantom Fungus, Shambling Mounds, and Tendriculi would all be appropriate... You could stick in some Green Slime, Yellow Mold or Brown Mold. Maybe put a Water Elemental in little fountain at the center of the indoor garden.

Oh, and a Homonculus wouldn't be much of a challenge in a fight, but would make a good sentry for the wizard and could play plenty of small tricks on the PCs.

Hmmm...

Definetly interesting. As I recall, there were some plants in the MM2.

Oh, here's something I *did* think. In the wizard's study, is a Corralax female. This female is much more talkative then the regular kind, since many have the skill of a Cockatoo. As it turns out, the bird is actually a polymorphed Rival of the wizard. Atleast, someone that he crossed. He turned them into a bird, to keep in his study, not only for humiliation purposes, and someone to talk to, but also a cheap way of getting baby Corallax's by having his Familiar (The same species of bird) breeding with the poly'd individual.

I'm pondering who the bird could be. A Cansin wizardess who hadn't mastered Still spell (the only reason she hasn't dispelled it or hit him with magic is the fact she hasn't access to her spellbook), or a male wizard of some race. If it's the former, it could be a love interest for the party wizard, if not atleast an ally.

Whatch'all think?

 

[Pbartender]

Oh... Use the wizardess. Maybe the wizard used to have feelings for her, but she jilted him and this is his revenge.

 

[Xarlen]

Well, she's a Cansin, so she most likely wouldn't be of the Aristocracy. So, perhaps she's of some other walk of life. I wonder how this could relate. Hmm.

 

[Pbartender]

Cansin?

 

[Xarlen]

Evil planetouched:Tiefling::Chaotic Planetouched:Cansin.

They're the Tiefling/Aasimar equivilent to someone who has ties to the Chaotic outsiders as parents.

 

[Pbartender]

And you don't think your aristocratic wizard could have had an illicit affair with a Cansin Sorceress? It seems to be the sort of thing an inherently chaotic mistress would do... Lure a powerful aristocrat into her wiles, take what she can, and then drop him like a rock.

Only, he was a more powerful wizard than she thought, and she got caught.

Justification: Her planar ancestor was a (CHAOTIC evil) succubus.

 

[Xarlen]

I'm thinking she could have had idle business association, and yep, threw it down in bed, he got infatuated, chased her, and so on. Likely met her on an expodition, or at a play, while on a Hunt, etc.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if the PC wizard would go for her or not; the capraciousness may ruffle his feathers, because he's a pretty logical, by the book character. Then again, I imagine the random, idle playfulness of her could get to him. I'd make her CG.

 

[Cerubus Dark]

Golem. Got to be. Possibly a Shield Guardian.

Hehe, if he is so powerful use a Runic Guardian.

Twice the Fun!

 

[Xarlen]

He's just 8th level!

Nah, I'm considering having the party tank Not go along with them (It's that time of the month, when the moon raises), so she wants to go out and be very wild in the woods. Can't stand the city life.
