# Ralzakark Death-Bringer

In my Dorastor campaign, the Humakti Legion was headed by a Humakti Broo Hero.It took the PCs some time to work out that this was an aspect of Ralzakark, as his second in command was the Humakti the PCs encountered most. This is a description of Ralzakark Death-Bringer, the head of the Broo Legion and Humakti HeroQuestor. As an aspect of Ralzakark, he is far more powerful than other HeroQuestors, but he is only an Aspect so he is not as powerful as a demigod. If Ralzakark Death-Bringer is killed then he is dead and Ralzakark has lost one of his Aspects. This will not please him one little bit.

## Death Song

This provides a Morale effect to all Humakti within the singer's POW in metres. Morale gained = Skill/10, so 150% Death Song gives the equivalent of Morale 15. This costs 1POW to sing and 1 personal Magic Point per round to maintain. The effect lasts as long as the singer keeps singing.

## Quickdraw

This allows the user to draw a weapon faster than normal. Normal success takes 2 SR to draw, SPecial 1 SR, Critical 0 SR.

## Death-Bringer

Iron Greatsword.AP=Wielder's POW, takes half damage, does double penetrating damage to all locations struck, does double penetrating damage against living foes, base damage 3D8, permanent Pain Blow effect (CONx2% or be incapacitated for a round until damage is healed), each wound causes injured to lose 1D6 MP per round until the wound is healed beginning when the wound is received, expending 1 personal Magic point allows a Strike spell to be cast on the sword.
Spirit INT 20 POW 60, Heroic Casting of Bladesharp 20, Parry 20, Repair 20, these spells cost 1 personal Magic Point to cast but may only be cast on Death-Bringer. This Parry spell affects Death-Bringer. The wielder of Death-Bringer must accept the Humakti geases "Accept no magical healing" and "wear no armour anywhere", even if illuminated as the sword can see what the wielder does and will turn against him (fumble hit self each time the sword is used) if the wielder breaks the geases.
Death-Bringer may only be gained through a Humakti duel with the current holder. The duel is fought to the death with only Humakti magic allowed, including the Dorastoran Humakt magic. If the wielder is slain by other means than a Humakti duel, he can return to fight a duel if an attempt is taken to take the sword,this is not an Undead ability, more of an angelic return.

## Blood Daggers

Old Bone Daggers, 2D8 damage,Range=User's POW, on a normal/special/critical hit sticks in as if implaed, if damage is caused, injured person loses 1 POW and takes 2D8 general hit points immediately and 1 POW and 2D8 General Hit Points damage each round the dagger is stuck in as the life blood squirts through the hollow bone handle. The dagger may be teleported to the user's hand for 1 perosnal magic point. Ralzakark has three of these, gained through HeroQuest.

2. Although Illuminated, Ralzakark keeps each and every geas
3. Ralzakark has access to POWx5 Magic Points for spell casting etc.
