Appearance:

Duskward is a tall, thin, wiry gnome. His face is almost leathery in texture, his eyes are small, and his nose is as thin as his sharp chin. His lips are thin and almost white in color. His hair is a silvery color, and long and shaggy. His posture is stiff and awkward, and he seems to almost float when he moves. He wears a silver chain about his neck, and a heavy blue robe with black trim.

Interaction:

Duskward will talk to players in a patronizing manner, constantly emphasizing his status as a powerful wizard. He will take advantage of any opportunities to cast noxious fumes.

Background:

Duskward is an evil wizard who has been imprisoned in the dungeon for years. He is only out of the prison because he wants to get rid of some new competition for the dungeon. Duskward spent his childhood learning magic, and his teen years studying fiendish magic under a master wizard. He was always more of a scholar than a combat expert. His greatest weakness is his lack of personal combat skills.

Combat / Skills:

Duskward will attack with spells that attempt to knock the target silent or cause them to heal themselves. At all times, Dusauntlets ring of protection spell will be active. If that is removed, he will turn invisible and attack with crossbow bolts. If he is killed while invisible, his body is still where it fell.

Equipment:

The usual.
