Demons: The Horde's Teeth

The evil gods' horde: dirty fighters who drag their prey into the dirt.

How They FightAbilitiesSkills & SpellsRestrictionsDemons of Algoron

Divine Servant Alignment: Evil Power: Malice In Algoron: 2

The Demons of Algoron were created by the evil gods as a horde to sweep across the surface of the world. They have either black or red skin and long leathery wings. Demons are known for their brand of particularly dirty fighting and viciousness, and for their merciless tactics: attacking in groups and wrapping themselves amongst their foes.

How They Fight

Demons are the horde's teeth. They fight with claws, drag their prey to the ground and tear at them there, and grow stronger on the slaughter. Every blow a demon lands fills it with Malice, more for each plague on its foe, and so does every blow an evil companion lands on the same foe.

Malice pays for the demon's cruelty: a tail strike that sweeps the legs, DEVOUR to tear into the wounded, and the HORDE, where every evil companion falls on the foe at once. Demons howl to terrify their foes and rally their own, smother the land in darkness, and can tear open a gate to the pit to call their companions to their side. A demon's blessing always comes with a price.

  1. Close in with claws and BASH them to the ground.
  2. Let the Malice build.
  3. DEVOUR the wounded, or loose the HORDE.

At a Glance

Serves
The Gods of Evil
Ranks
Lesser Demon, Greater Demon, and a single Demon Lord who speaks for the gods
Malice (0–100)
Every melee blow you land (more for each plague on your foe), and every blow an evil companion lands on the foe you're fighting. It fades when there is nothing to fight.
Arms
Claws when fighting unarmed (as hard as a fine weapon), though demons may still wield weapons if they choose.
Resistances
Unholy power cannot touch them, but holy power burns. Fire, cold, lightning and poison do two-thirds of their harm.
Abilities
19 skills and 60 spells by level 51

Abilities

The gifts that set demons apart, by the level they arrive. New abilities start barely known: practice them.

Level1
Bash

From level 25, against players, a demon's bash becomes a leap that wraps its tail around the victim's legs and drags them to the ground (see Ground Fighting).

Level5
Claws

Fighting without a weapon, a demon rakes with claws that hit as hard as a fine weapon. How well depends on its hand to hand.

Level5
Tail Strike 20 Malice for TRIP

Lash out with your tail for heavy unholy damage. STRIKE <foe> TRIP spends Malice to sweep their legs out from under them, costing them a round.

Level18
Berserk

Fly into a killing rage: the demon strikes harder and truer and a few of its wounds close, at the cost of some dexterity.

Level20
Plagues

LEPROSY (20), WITHER (30), BONE BLIGHT (34) and SCOURGE (42). Every plague on a foe makes each blow against it feed you more Malice.

Level22
Attack Spells

FIREBALL (22), ACID BLAST (28), BRIMSTONE (31) and CHAIN LIGHTNING (33), along with the lesser attack spells.

Level25
Ground Fighting

Once two fighters are on the ground, the demon tears at its victim with gouges, knees, headbutts and bites, three times a round. The victim's skills work at about two-thirds, and they may STRUGGLE to break free. Only an angel can rescue someone from the dirt.

Level30
Demon Darkness

Open a portal to the nether realms and pour out impenetrable darkness: across the nearby rooms by night, only the demon's own room by day. Only demons and their evil companions can see inside it, and those who walk through it stumble off in a random direction.

Level35
Devour 50 Malice

Fall on a foe with tooth and claw. The more wounded the foe, the worse it is: near death they take nearly twice the damage. If they die of it, the demon feeds and its own wounds knit. A miss costs no Malice.

Level40
Infernal Pact

A demon's TOUCH now seals a pact as well: the one who carries it strikes harder, but the pact feeds on them every hour. PACTS shows who carries yours.

Level45
Horde 75 Malice

Shriek, and every evil companion fighting the same foe gets a free round of blows against it at once. The more of you there are, the worse it is.

Level51
Hellgate

Tear open a burning gate to the pit. Evil companions elsewhere in the area have about a minute to HEED it and step through to your side. The Demon Lord's gate also brings two imps to fight at its side.

Any
Howl

A bone chilling howl heard across the area. Foes fighting the demon or its companions are gripped by dread, their aim falters and some run, while the demon's evil companions strike truer and harder.

Any
Touch

Grant a follower the power of your patron god.
