[Pathfinder] Ursht - 2nd Level

History

The Ebon Six have been busy. Guided by visions from his sire, Ursht has helped them secure positions within the political landscape of the Yeomanry. After careful vetting of candidates to find those of weak will and corruptable mein, Ursht would be brought in (cloaked and masked) to mesmerize by leading special séances to speak with the ancestors of the attendees. These rituals were devised to give victims visions of political success, and the cult more information about what motivates their targets.



To help his growing influence in the Yeomanry, Graz'zt sent another of his devoted followers to aid the Ebon Six. Kneot the lamia is faithful of Graz'zt, a paladin in service to the Dark Lord. She was led to the Yeomanry by guiding dreams from her master. Her mission is to keep the Ebon Six from distracting Ursht from the purpose his father created him for...

With Kneot's arrival, the ghost of Surulla stopped bothering the cabal. Heneras is thankful of the break, but is suspicious of Kneot's claims about consuming the errant soul. Surulla has actually fled the Yeomanry attached to a caravan headed into Sterich for trade. Her goal is to warn a sympathetic ear about the cabal, but is subject to the whims of the caravan's merchant leader.

Ursht and Kneot know one another in all ways, and with her guidance the tiefling has begun research in the libraries of the nobility. Ursht's studies into Ancient Suel lore and history have been noticed by Heneras, but have not disrupted the cult's plays for political power.

GEAR

STRATEGY

: Ursht will rarely be encountered without a loyal bodyguard or Kneot. Ursht's cell of mercenary bodyguards have been reduced to two Suel women; both former mercenaries, now cultists. Elanc, a pale-skinned beauty, is a two-weapon fighter who wields dual sickles. Scoi, a dagger-specialist rogue, performs reconnaissance for the tiefling's noble appearances. Both women are in love with Ursht, and he enjoys their attention. He does what he can to keep them alive in fights.

TACTICS

: If Ursht is caught in a fight, he will use his cantrips and Intimidate skill to disrupt and demoralize opponents and give advantage to his cadre of bodyguards. His first priority is escape; Command (to Halt), Obscuring Mist, and a withdrawal is the ideal plan. Should he become cornered or forced to fight, True Strike, Touch of Fatigue, and a dual-claw attack is a good combination.
