Exploding Corridor
Exploding Corridor & the Overlord (-400): As a final defense against intrusion by outsiders,
the Overlord set the High Council in separate cells. He feared that, once they gave up their
bodies, they might turn on another, further diminishing his power. Along the path from
the Mummies Crypt to his secret lair, The Overlord set concussion mines. He also had openings
made in the cells of the High Council. All of this was so that any intruder would be met with a
multitude of traps designed for the sole purpose of destroying them before they got the chance to
interrupt his plans. To further confuse any would-be trespassers, the entire corridor
was set under a spell of permanent Darkness. The Overlord himself underwent a
radical change. His body became diffuse, though was not totally abandoned.
However, the change to his body was such that no known weapon will touch him.
And being made of Magic, he is highly resistant to most forms of magic, but not all
forms. The Overlord will attack with Hand, Foot, and spell. His favoured spell is the wizard's Ice
Spear. And being made of pure magic, the overlord need not chant in order to cast his spells. His
power is such that any attack, aside from the physical damage, will also drain the vitality and
youth from a person. In his possession is one true artefact from the Glory days of the
Brotherhood. A great staff is held that will grant more power to any Magician that chooses to
wield it. It is reputedly a great blocking weapon and also that it enhances a wizard's spell of
shield thus mitigating physical attack while they plied their trade of magic.
The Staff also aids in the restoration of Magic to the possessor of the staff.
To be fully effective the staff must be wielded in the right hand with the left
hand empty.
