Imocte
Vorian
The most numerous of Kaydan demons, imocte
vorian are used a guardians and cannon fodder. They resemble
large dogs with three bloodshot eyes, their bodies covered
in greenish grey chitin. Their tails are segmented and thick,
used to counterbalance them when they take sharp turns. Imocte
Vorian understand Kaydan.

besides incidental flanking and fight without fear to the
death. |

Imocte
Jah
Imocte
Jah are hulking beasts used for manual labor and brute force
troopers in Kayda’s ranks. Standing almost twice as
high as a man, their upper bodies are disgustingly overmuscled
and over balanced, causing the creature to run on it’s
enormous, bony knuckles. Their heads are toadish in appearance
and filled with large, flat teeth that are largely useless.
Too dull
to do much of anything on their own, Imocte Jah are rarely
found outside of the company of an underpreist or a more powerful
and intelligent demon.

Tactics
Imocte Ja charge fearlessly into battle, using fling aside
to bypass weaker foes to get at those their masters deem most
dangerous. If they find enemy lines offering too great a resistance,
they switch to throwing them into one another with toss foe
to clear their path. They save their overhand smash for their
primary targets.

Kaydan
Underpriest
No
two Kaydan underpriests look alike. Some are grotesque examples
of their master’s ‘improvements’ on the
mortal form, with distended jaws, visible poison sacs, jaundiced
skin or scales, hypertrophies limbs, and the like. Others
have been ‘improved’ internally only, leaving
them largely human on the outside, except when they extend
their poisonous claws for combat.

Tactics
Kaydan underpriests prefer to avoid notice altogether, sending
lesser demons to do their dirty work unless cornered or directly
ordered into battle. Once engaged, they stay behind their
allies, using ray of weakness on enemies and using transfer
strength to bolster their allies whenever possible. They use
eye of the dark god on enemy casters and when all else fails,
they use their desperation frenzy.

Zect
of the Drinking Gourd
Though still under the sway of Kayda on the
occasion his services are required, Zect is often left to
his own devises, which usually means wandering the world,
looking for powerful people who can offer him a ‘fun’
fight. He appears as a short human male, shirtless except
for a sash through which he sticks his longsword sheath; a
large drinking gourd on his belt, and open toed sandals regardless
of local weather. The only give away of his inhuman nature
are his orange eyes and ability to drink and digest lamp oil
and ignite it within his own body.

Tactics
Unless ordered otherwise, Zect fights to knockout his foe
so that he can mock their combat prowess afterward. He starts
combat by using spit oil to anger his opponents and then waits
fro them to attack him. Once combat starts, he uses clever
footwork as often as possible, using his action points to
make multiple uses of it in a round. Once bloodied, he uses
healing quaff and then ignition spray.

Matasume
the Wind
Like
most of Kayda’s most powerful demons, Matasume the Wind
is dispatched only on matters of great importance to the Lord
of Shades. She appears as a beautiful elf maiden made of tan
clay with an unexpressive, noseless face. Instead of legs,
she has a tapering flagella that thrashes about when she flies,
but is usually hidden by the expensive robes she prefers to
wear. Her hands are always hidden in her robes, save for the
nailless fingers that clutch her war fans.

Tactics
Matasume starts combat by using her war tornado to make space
between herself and her enemies. She then uses crushing downdraft
on a downed enemy and spends an action point to raise her
wall of wind, attempting to catch as many enemies as possible
in it. On rounds in which she can’t use war tornado,
she uses crushing downdraft on prone enemies and air razor
on those that threaten her.
