PERSONALITY NOTES: Devious, calculating, treacherous, sardonic
BACKGROUND: Horntail is a son of the Other Ralzakark, but serves the Broo King. When asked why, Horntail will jokingly point out that the unicorn headed broo is his "other father." Horntail is the most focussed of the prominent Broo Princes of Dorastor, and delights in the prolonged seige, the sudden ambush, and the well-laid trap. He's often seen leading groups of disciplined broo skirmishers, and makes frequent raids into Skanthi territory. He's also sometimes seen in the company of scorpionmen, though the nature of his relationship to these creatures is unknown. Horntail has a deep seated hatred of trolls, and will often try to lure them into ambushes and traps. He has a small number of iron stakes that he will use in deadfalls and pits if he thinks he can nail a troll.
SCENARIO HOOKS: Horntail has built a number of hidden trebuchets (sp?) in the woods outside Oxhead and is using them to shell the town (a la PLO mortar attacks). It's up to the PCs to destroy ever last one of the well fortified and concealed devices before they wreak too much havoc.
Horntail has managed to capture and skin a Kyger Litor Priestess and had her made into a drum. The players are asked to recover this item so that the Priestess' soul can rest in peace.
(For Lunar PCs) The PCs are asked to escort a highly respected graduate
of the Lunar Army's School of Combat Engineering to his ten year reunion.
They are told he is the son of a respected local dignitary who faces
"problems with prejudice and discrimination." The graduate turns out to be
Horntail. Can the players keep him from getting killed by ignorant
Chaos-hating fanatics on the trip to Glamour? Can they keep Horntail from
"having fun" on the long journey? Will they be able to figure out how the
hell this monstrosity passed the entrance exam?
