Master Demons and Devils

These creatures are the overlords of the minor demons.  They are generally the ones with the brains and some courage (but no heart).

Erinyes (Devil)

HD 9, Hp 72, AC 19* (Natural, Magic or silver to hit, immune to electricity, poison, acid, and any fire)

Fort +11, Ref +11, Will +10

Ranged: 2 attacks/rd +1 Flaming Composite Longbow +15/+10 to hit 1d8+6 +1d6 fire/rd until smothered  

Or Rope +14 to hit, DC 18 Str or Escape Artist or Entangled (generally used to capture opponents)

Teleport: Used to escape

Summon: 1d4 minor demons, 50% chance of success, once per day

True Seeing: Never fooled by illusions or invisibility

Female hunters, typically relying on ranged attacks and calling in minor demons to engage in melee.  They have a natural enmity with the glamorously beautiful Succubae and hideous Hags.  

Chain Devil (Kyton)

HD 8, Hp 64, AC 18* (Natural, Magic or silver to hit, immune to electricity, poison, acid, and any fire)

Fort +8, Ref +8, Will +6

Fort +6, Ref +6, Will +6

Melee: Claw +13 melee 1d6+7

Stealth +7

Mind Control: DC 18 Will Sv or controlled for 1d4 rds, can be attempted on an opponent once per encounter, can control one victim at a time, the Hag will lose control if hit by an attack

Disguise Self: At will.  This is an illusion, not a physical change.  DC 18 Will Sv for viewer to disbelieve, but viewer must be concentrating.  If the Hag is injured, DC 18 Will Sv to maintain disguise.

Fog Cloud: At will

Hags are often sent on infiltration and abduction tasks.  They hate Succubae and highly dislike Erinyes to the point they’d sabotage the mountain’s defenses if they could implicate either of them in the process.    

The General (Hezrou Demon)

HD 10+20, Hp 100, AC 20* (Natural, Magic or silver to hit, immune to electricity, poison, acid, and any fire)

Fort +16, Ref +7, Will +9

Melee: 3 attacks/rd Bite +14 to hit 4d4+5 and 2 X Claws +9 to hit 1d8+2

If both Claws hit the same opponent in a rd, they are grappled.  DC 18 Str or Escape Artist to get free or next rd, automatic Bite damage.  Will drop victim if successfully attacked

Stench: Produced in combat, DC 18 Fort Sv to everyone in C range or Sickened 1 turn (all Bonuses go to 0), other demons are not immune to this

Teleport: Used to escape

Summon: 60% another master demon, 80% 1d4 minor demons, once per day True Seeing: Never fooled by illusions or invisibility

He’s crazy.  He’s a sociopathic, brooding mad man.  The General rules by fear, pure and simple.  His motivations are to live another day, hold the fortress, and to destroy anyone (human or demon) that gets in his way.  There’s little subtly to the General’s tactics in personal combat, he simply uses his high AC and Hp and superior melee abilities to eviscerate his foes.
