Spell List

  • open wounds
  • weaken
  • psi bolt
  • curse items
  • finger of death

Pale Night is the most dangerous of the minor demon lords. Its reflexive seduction ability makes attacking it in melee foolish at best.

A strange shimmering in the air announces the arrival of a
shape, little more than a billowing white diaphanous sheet.
Closer inspection reveals a writhing, seductive form beneath
the sheet, indistinct and hazy. Now and then the edges of
the sheet rise a little too high on the netherwind, yet
never enough to reveal the details that lie beyond.

Demogorgon

Demogorgon.png & *2x Disease-causing claws 3d12, armor-shredding rend, Life-draining gaze, Paralysis gaze, Theft gaze, 2x spellcasting

A terrible deity, whose very name was capable of producing the
most horrible effects. He is first mentioned by the 4th-century
Christian writer, Lactantius, who in doing so broke with the
superstition that the very reference to Demogorgon by name
brought death and disaster.
[ Brewer's Concise Dictionary of Phrase and Fable ]

spread a quickly fatal illness to his victims while rending
them. He is a mighty spellcaster, and it is said that no
