Vash the Ravenous
Vash the Ravenous is
a short, skinny gnoll who looks dead and desiccated due to the Krusadi desert
sun. He however is smarter than you
average gnoll and he has gotten to be the most feared pack lord ever seen in
the desert. The gnolls revere Vash for
his insight and cunning, saying that he is the favored of Yeenoghu and
merchants fear him and his gnolls.
Vash is never
without his elite guard. Eleven gnolls
with maximum hit points and a nasty penchant for blood. Vash can target up to three of his elite
gnolls with his incite rampage special ability. His pack usually contains upward to forty
members and attendant hyenas. His elite
gnolls follow his lead and stay somewhat in position when they attack and the
others make due with their wildness.
They are like a sea of calm amid a bloodthirsty horde. Even though as smart as he is, he doesn’t
seem to want to anything more than to do what gnolls do best, slaughter and
burn. What his intelligence does is just
make him a very dangerous foes. Ambushes
are his specialty. While he does not seem to have any great
aspirations, there are those who look upon him with covetous eyes.
He is never seen
without his hyena Crackbone. Spawned by Yeenoghu himself when he took and
ravaged Crackbone's mother, or so the legend goes. All said, she is a spawn of something from
the abyss as her maw is twice as large as a hyena's should be. Vash attacks with two scimitars named Thrister and Biter. He doesn’t like missile weapons and prefers
getting into melee to spill the blood of his enemies.
