Zhai eventually gained a reputation for herself, her deeds in Damara gaining the attention of Ellery Dragonsbane, who related them to Jarlaxle Baenre. Here goes: o No more shielded opponents o No more 'heavy' or 'light' attacks Theres only a standard attack and an unarmed strike. Soon thereafter, Zhai acquired a ring of jumping. She was captured by orcs attacking a town but was freed by Rannek during the battle. įeeling insecure in the home of the wood elves, Zhai left them and became a rogue. Zhai was raised in the wood elf village of Cedarleaf by her drow mother and wood elf father, until they were killed indirectly by the slaad Ygorl in a raid against the town. However, Ygorl succeeded in killing Cireka before the two could be imprisoned again, thus rendering the demon stone useless to the three heroes and forcing them to fight the slaad lord directly.She was able to use twin daggers and had skill at hiding herself. This demon stone was taken from the temple by Illius, Rannek, and Zhai, who sought to use it to once again trap Cireka and Ygorl. They used it to open a portal through which a demonic aspect of their god could enter the Prime Material plane and gorge himself on living sacrifices. In the mid-to-late 14 th century DR, a yuan-ti temple to Merrshaulk in Chult incorporated a demon stone into their ritual sacrifices. They were freed thanks to the machinations of Ygorl, who managed to reach out from the prison and lure three adventurers- Illius, Rannek, and Zhai-to the mines and trick them into breaking the wards around the demon stone. The two were trapped inside the stone, with their bodies safely hidden behind magical barriers within the Gemspark Mine in Damara, for nearly a century. History Īt some point in the mid-to-late 13 th century DR, a demon stone was used by Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun to trap the githyanki general Cireka and the slaad lord Ygorl when the two's extraplanar armies clashed in the Rawlinswood and threatened to overrun all of Faerûn. However, powerful outsiders were still able to reach out and manipulate mortals while imprisoned. The stone could then be warded or protected to keep the outsiders trapped. The essences of these outsiders would then be trapped inside the demon stone in an endless battle while skeletal placeholders of their physical bodies remained in stasis outside with the demon stone hovering above them. Zhai was a half-drow, half-wood elf rogue of the 14th century DR. At least two such beings had to be trapped simultaneously, and these beings had to be hostile toward each other. Ī demon stone was capable of imprisoning even extraordinarily powerful extraplanar creatures, but only under strict conditions.
