The Cult Leader

Cult Leader

“What was that thing?” The man inquired desperately to the elder brother, as they departed the scene of battle.

“That was a fraction of the problem we are dealing with right now. Hence why we need to ask your … wife … questions.”

“You don’t think she’s affiliated with that do you?

“No, but she definitely knows what’s up.”

Shortly afterwards, they entered the Inn. Whereinn a beautiful woman was serving customers.

Honey, we need to talk,” the man intoned.

She raised her head towards her husband and noticed his friends. A wicked smile crossed her face.

Of course, let’s go upstairs.

Arriving in the private room, she locked the door behind them with a quick turn of the latch. With the same smirk on her face, she turned towards the group.

So, what’s going on?

Before her husband could talk, the elder brother replied.

“I would like to have this conversation face to face if you don’t mind. “

Hearing this, her smile grew yet more, “He’s clever, I like him.”

The woman’s body fell to the ground, unconscious. Next to her fallen form, a female Tiefling with dark red, leathery wings, and a vicious hooked tail stood tall. She smelled of the stench of the abyss, with a hint of sulfur emanating from her.

“You’re as beautiful as ever honey.

-“You flatterer. Now speak mortal, I don’t have eternity here…

Goal

Yep. You are playing, what’s essentially, a Succubus. There’s a bit of a need to shenanigan the Ritual of Alignment to get the Evil Subtype. If your GM allows it from the get go, however, its fine.

Otherwise a DC 20 Knowledge(Religion) check lets you know about Pazuzu appearing if you say his name three time in succession to grant you a wish. There ya go.

You are the perfect infiltrator and social character, capable of bluffing, intimidating and persuading your way in and out of most situations. All the while still remaining a more than capable combatant.

You can buff your allies with Fiendish Grafts and even grant them wishes. Furthermore you’re able to share your spell-like abilities, and possess other creatures to fight for you. A ridiculously strong build.
