Message: <blockquote data-quote="ltclnlbrain" data-source="post: 1556205" data-attributes="member: 12882">Teil, the eloquent half-fiend bard/assassin with a strange fetish for vermin.  He started off as a human rival for the affections of Cid's, the fighter PC's, girlfriend, but the PC drove him out of town by bringing to light his devil-worshipping practices.  Later he came back with a horde of ankhegs that was ambushing trade caravans.  The PCs managed to drive him off again, but not before an ankheg had killed Cid's pet dog, Ginger.  Cid and Teil met again when the bard assassinated the mayor of a large town to foment tensions between it and the capital city.  Cid pursued Teil throughout the city out to the docks, where they engaged in an epic one-on-one battle.  Cid won, but as Teil stood dying, he swore an oath to a devil prince and fell through a portal to Hell, where he became a half-fiend.Many years later, Teil returned and kidnapped Cid and his now-wife.  He tortured Cid to try to extract hidden information regarding the location of a powerful artifact that his father had locked away in Cid's mind.  He killed Cid's wife in front of him and had a cornugon tear off his left arm at the shoulder.  Mean stuff that.  Cid was eventually rescued, but not before Teil had the location of the artifact.  The party sought him down and after a grueling battle with Teil and his minions outside the vault where the artifact lay, Cid finally managed to strike him down once and for all.</blockquote>
