The party had been hearing rumour of a blood drinking assassin who strikes without warning or mercy as they are travelling through an evil theocracy. Eventually in the middle of the night in the penultimate encounter, Obsidian strikes. In the dry grass they hear mad cackling and a ghost white figure strikes the sentry looking for the most part like a vampire. Magic spells seem to have little or no effect. The combat ensues with Obsidian doing a lot of hit and run strikes..... and taking out a few characters on the way.It turns out that that Obsidian was a standard elf with prophyria (sp?). A zealot who also just happened to be insane, quite homicidal and afflicted with a disease which made him appear vampiric (I think he filed his teeth to points as well...) I loved running him up against teams.... I think it's the only time I have seen 1st Ed AD&D players scared....</blockquote>
