| Description | Little is known about the assassins who tried to kill the Sha H'larr of the Onundur, Azeda, and what is known creates more questions than answers. They spoke Elven. They carried poison daggers and were experts with khopesh swords. They had full knowledge that they were on a suicide mission, and were driven to complete the mission at any cost. They carried several alchemical devices and seemed well trained in coordinating their use for maximum effect. They wore reasonably good disguises to blend in among the ghouls. Perhaps even more disturbing, they were in the ghoul caves before the party got there, but clearly used the party's arrival to stage their attack.

: Who sent them? Why frame the party? What could justify their suicidal commitment to a seemingly petty mission?

Special Abilities

Bomb (Su)

Among a typical group of wildling assassins, there is a single alchemical bomb, in the possession of whichever Assassin the GM chooses, which is typically placed in a target spot determined by the GM. This bomb can be activated by any Assassin as a standard action, and set to go off after a delay of a number of rounds, or up to several minutes out of combat. This bomb is volatile and will also activate if dropped in battle. This can be done by an Assassin as a free action, although this is painful, since they take full damage.

Once placed, the bomb can be deactivated with either a Disable Device check or a Profession (Alchemist) check. The DC of the disarm is 19. The first check delays the detonation for a round. The second check disarms it. If it goes off, it will deal 1d10+5 fire (energy, common) damage in a 10 foot radius (reflex save, DC 16, for half). Cover or partial cover (a flipped table, for example) provides a +4 bonus to the Reflex save.

Fang Poison (Ex)

The first successful attack made by each assassin's dagger has a chance to inflict poison on the target:


Lifeleech Venom    (Injury vector; Poisoned intensity)
Save: Fort DC 16;     Frequency: 1/round for 3 rounds
Effect: 1d6+1 points of poison (physical, uncommon) damage, and target is Sickened.
Fruition: target falls unconscious and is helpless
Fruition Duration: 24 hours
Smoke (Ex)

As a standard action, the assassins can toss a smoke grenade. This fills an area with smoke, granting concealment to everyone inside (50% miss chance). The grenade fills a 20'x20' square and lasts until the end of combat unless cleared. While inside the smoke, you can only see adjacent figures, which have partial concealment (20% miss chance). Lastly, the smoke is intensely irritating, dealing 1d6+1 damage as poison (physical, uncommon) damage to anyone inside it (no save). Cover provides no protection, since it is a cloud. This can be removed by dispersing effects, as normal.

Trip (Ex)

During a full attack action, if the assassin successfully hits a target with their fang sword attack, they may make a free Trip attack against that target as well. (1d20 + 7 vs. the target's Maneuver Defense). If successful, the target is knocked prone. This does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Wildling Assassin

Wildling Assassin

Little is known about wildlings. Perhaps the most solid information is that they speak and understand Elvish, although their accent is odd, so it is entirely possible that they are some variant species or race of Elves, or, some other Fey race.

Wildlings seem very insular and avoid contact with races witht he Spark, so they are rarely seen in proper 'civilized' settings. When Wildling Assassins are encountered, they are usually involved in some sort of a stealthy assault with one or more targets for assassination. While they are on these 'missions', Wildling Assassins seem utterly committed to their goal, willing to fight to the death without hesitation.

It seems likely there is some source for Wildlings, and Assassins are some sort of 'specialist' warriors, but details are extremely scarce.

Combat Tactics

Wildling assassins are rapid assault troops, using stealth, smoke bombs, and hit-and-run tactics to cause mayhem and confusion within their targets. Each assassin will attempt to inflict their poison damage on a different target, and will make use of the concealment provided by their smoke bombs to initiate stealth if they need to change targets.

Out of Combat

These savage assassins are highly trained in their bloody craft, but are also highly secretive about their training techniques, as well as the employers who contract them to do their work. They perfect their arts in secret schools, often hidden in caves or ruins, though some have been discovered in the middle of a busy city. Stumbling into such as school is usually a fatal mistake for unwary explorers.
