I am a lich. Yes, an undead mage. I am current with The Longest Road. Before you try to smite me (for brownie points, lousy Paladins!), please read:

Ezel's Top Ten Corrections

10. Fear Auras are worthless. 9. You would think cold and electicity would hurt me. You are wrong. 8. Those who cannot do 15 damage will be presented with my patented shit-eating grin! 7. Unless it is a magical bludgeoning weapon. Please don't hit me with those (SIL!!!) 6. Yes I have a phylactery. No, I don't want to go there. I don't really want to "die." 5. Like clerics and other men of the cloth, you won't like my touch. 4. In the party, I fear Sil the most. She is driven by the three worst temperaments: Zeal, Avarice, and Drunkenness. 3. A family reuinion? That would kill me. You see, my mother and father would love me to death. 2. My sister is actually a great hero. Yes, there are many great heroes, I'm not telling you which one, lest you force me to bother her with my presence. 1. No I am NOT evil.

I am a researcher, Information is my goal. It is my purpose...

A Wizard Did It

I am a wizard. I study the arcane arts, examine the purview of magic, and make pretty colors appear. Ellowyn would probably understand it best, although he does not need to study it (lousy sorcerers.) Querca might get it, assuming she can stop looking at cute puppies and other nature-related nonsense.

Divination is my preferred domain. Being able to predict, perceive, and protect information remotely is quite useful. If we need to scope out somewhere, I can do that well. Once a fight breaks out, though, I am best at enhancing the Murder Brigade (TM), that is the rest of the party. They're quite good at brute force.

I do not like necromancy spells and have forbidden myself from using them. They remind me of...me.

Virton Archdemon Profile: Itessa

When dealing with mortals, Demons have a list of basic aspects to corrupt with. Money, Sex, and Power are the major ones. Itessa seems to have a different path: motherhood.

Demons do not choose to reproduce unless ordered to by their superiors. Itessa chooses to create offspring in her image. Stranger still, she prefers to directly train and raise them. As if she cares about them. We have observed several demons and undead similar to her running about, performing deeds and dedicating them to their "Mother." They seem to be completely loyal to their "Mother" and "Father," all working together for their parents' "love."

This kind of dedication deeply worries us. We can usually rely on demons' disorganized and betraying nature to single out and overcome them. But this kind of unison, teamwork, and unforced (or perhaps inborn?) loyalty presents an organized threat. I hope we can manage to contain her and her offspring before this situation spills out of control.

At one point, Itessa disguised herself and entered our holiest of temples and seduced one of the highest-ranking clergymen. We accosted the pair with some of our best warriors, and she still escaped. Her teleportation abilities are incredible, and her claws contain an extremely fast-working poison. She didn't even cast a spell; we were no match. But the hardest blow was our priest. He claimed she truly loved him, and he would gladly renounce Virton to help Itessa realize her dreams of "Motherhood, the one thing she cannot obtain." We made his final days in the asylum peaceful, and prayed the almighty Virton would aid him in the afterlife.

This Archdemon is considered extremely dangerous and should not be attacked without significant backup and our approval.

Issues

This is Serious business. No doubts about that.

Life

Technically, it's just a dragon egg hatching. I've read all about the process. I've read the diagrams, I have seen the pictures. So why did Seth and Miruneth's egg hatching upset me so much?
