Special Abilities
| Bomb (Su) |
|
Among the assassins, there is a single bomb, which can be activated as a standard action. It is volatile and will also activate if dropped. It 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). A flipped table provides a +4 bonus to the Reflex save. |
| Poison (Ex) |
|
The first successful attack made by each assassin's dagger has a chance to inflict poison on the target:
|
| 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 1 minute unless cleared. While inside the smoke, you can only see adjacent figures, which have partial concealment (20% miss chance). Lastly, the smoke is flammable, dealing 1d6+1 damage to anyone inside it (no save) if exposed to fire. Cover provides no protection, since it is a cloud. |
| Trip (Ex) |
|
During a full attack action, if the assassin successfully hits a target with their khopesh 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
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?
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.
