Nora Awoke with a start, her bed soaked, and her heart racing. She looked down to see make the friends she currently shared her bed with did not wake. Tonight, like all the nights before he was filled with the horrid memories of her upbringing. The wanton immorality and depravatity of her childhood home forever scarred upon her mind.

Noragithim Brimstom had been created and raised on the Midnight Isles, deep within the Abyss. It was a land of all consuming darkness, a place where hope and happiness simply didn’t exist. It was here her Demon Lord Nocticula forced upon her the legacy of her creation, commanding Nora to embrace the power of her seduction to seed wrath, jealousy, and turmoil within the demon ranks. For centuries Nora did as she was ordered, skirting from lord to lord, always manipulating, and always scheming. It was not a life she cared for, but it was one she exceled at. She slowly rose through Nocticula’s ranks taking on longer and more complex tasks within the Abyss.

Her final break came when one of her mistress’s enemies was found on the material plane. Summoned to Nocticula’s chamber Nora was issued her first off-plane task. She was to cause this demons undoing before he could return to the safety of the Abyss. It was with a determined heart that Nora traveled through the portal to this new realm, but she was in no way prepared for what was to come.

Nora stepped out of the portal and into a city of some sort, her demonic traits hidden by her innate abilities. She appeared as a lithe brown haired woman of this strange species, the soft pink flesh seeming unnaturally frail compared to her own armored torso. With determined strides she struck out to find her mark, quickly tiring of the defenseless nature of this human body, and then she came across the children…

Children did not exist on the Isles and Nora was in no way prepared for the onslaught of thoughts and emotions rolling off of these tiny creatures. How could anything be so carefree and innocent? It was here that she had her first interaction with Hope and Happiness, the emotions filling her with their warm embrace. For a moment Nora felt as if nothing could go wrong, that all of her manipulations were simply irrelevant. It was to put it lightly, a life altering moment, her life to this point standing in stark contrast to these new emotions. Here was her purpose, the meaning she hadn’t known she had been seeking in her life. How could she continue to sow seeds of doubt, and jealousy when hope and happiness were so much more than them in every way? She knew at that moment that she could not return to a life in the Abyss and her mistress. She could not live her life in a place where these emotions did not exist.

Her original task all but forgotten, Nora strived to make a life for herself in this new world, signing on with a noble house as their children’s caretaker. These were good time for Nora, her life filled with happiness and the laughing of children, her demonic heritage hidden from the world, but it was not to last long. Demon Lords were not known for the forgiveness and understanding and Nocticula was no different, having determined that Nora’s abandonment of her cause was nothing short of treason, and deserved the full brunt of the exquisite torture techniques she had perfected over the millennia.
Her fellow Succubi descended on the unprepared noble family, manipulation and seduction quickly leading them to ruination. Nora’s past had caught up to her, and she simply wasn’t prepared to deal with it, and so she ran. Terrified of her former master and her minions Nora barely escaped the city, leaving the kind noble family to the whims of her cruel mistress.

It was only 5 years ago, she recalled a tear running down her cheek. Only 5 years since she I ran from that family, since i caused so much heartbreak and sadness. That memory was now a constant reminder of the life she was trying to escape.

Even though she is sure that her Demon Mother has not given up the chase it has been two years now since she has seen any of Nocticula’s minions. Perhaps finally she has escaped her past, and can now truly begin to live her blessed life.

"What, haven't you ever seen a girl lose her head before?"

Della is a Dullahan, a type of undead headless knight known for its relentless assaults and effectiveness in killing others. Unlike most of her kind, though, she's managed to retain her humanity. It would be a bit of a stretch to call her "good", considering how caustic her attitude can be, but she's certainly not evil. More importantly, in recent times, she's joined up with a group of other monstrous individuals to strike back against the monsters that go bump in the night. Her natural toughness means that she can endure a lot of things that others would have a hard time getting through - in particular, as an undead, she's outright immune to a wide variety of ailments and similar problems, and she only gets tougher when she bothers to conjure up her equipment.

Despite her sharp tongue, Della is very loyal to those she considers friends. She doesn't take betrayal very well, but anybody who shows her the same loyalty she's willing to offer them will quickly find that she's a very reliable companion to have around.

When she's not busy slaughtering monsters that are past redemption, Della can often be found taking care of her steed or studying financial transactions. She's training as a merchant in order to better ensure a cash flow for her companions - hunting monsters can be expensive work, after all.

Construct Traits
Immunity to Magic (Ex)
A wood golem is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance, with the exception of spells and spell-like abilities that have the Fire descriptor, which affect it normally. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.
-Warp wood or wood shape slows a wood golem (as the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds (no save).
-Repel wood drives the golem back 60 feet and deals 2d12 points of damage to it (no save).
-A magical attack that deals cold damage breaks any slow effect on the golem and heals 1 point of damage for every 3 points of damage the attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the golem to exceed its full normal hit points, it gains any excess as temporary hit points. A wood golem gets no saving throw against attacks that deal cold damage.

Splintering (Su)
As a free action once every 1d4+1 rounds, a wood golem can launch a barrage of razor-sharp wooden splinters from its body in a 20-foot-radius burst. All creatures caught within this area take 6d6 points of slashing damage (Reflex DC 17 halves). The save DC is Constitution-based.

Racial Stats
Type: Monstrous Humanoid
Speed: 30 Land, 30 Swim
Senses: Darkvision 60 Ft.

Languages: The Naga start with Aquan and Common. Those with high intelligence scores can take any language except secret languages such as Druidic.

Racial Modifiers: +2 Str, +2 Int, -2 Cha.

Large / Undersized Weapons: While the Naga’s long tail makes them a large creature (-1 Size to AC / Attack Rolls, +1 Size to CMB / CMD, -4 Stealth, Double Carrying Capacity), their torsos are the size of medium creatures, giving them no reach benefits or additional weapon damage from being large.

Snake Tail: The Naga’s tail makes them immune to trip.

Natural Swimmer: Adept to being in the water, Naga have a base swim speed of 30 feet, can move in the water without making swim checks, and always treat Swim as a class skill. They are also Amphibious, and can breathe both air and water.

“So,” he began, his voice beginning as something of a growl as he changed from his lupine form back into that of a human man. “What brought you out here? I haven’t seen anything like you before.”

I laughed softly, despite myself, and muttered “Ah, to go from worshipped, to hated, to simply forgotten. I wonder if all the gods go through such things?”

At his quizzical glance, I shook my head. “Perhaps, I should start at the beginning.” We followed a trail through the darkened woods, the moon throwing shadows off the trees. My tail slid along the ground behind me, darting back and forth.

“My people, if they can be called that, are known as the Naga, and there was once a time where we were revered as gods. Whether we actually were at the time, I know not. But there were human tribes who truly believed that some of our people, when shedding our skin, had grown legs and become the first of them.”

I shook my head again. “So far as I’ve been able to tell, it was nonsense. But it didn’t stop the Naga from taking advantage of them. Human kindness was repaid with enslavement and mindless slaughter. It would be a long time before they made that mistake again.”

“Of course, growing up, I had known none of this. Even though they no longer had worshippers, the Naga were still acting as though they should have. When I was still a child, a group of adventurers tracked us, hunted us. Without our actions being supported by worshippers, when the Naga acted as vengeful gods, they were instead seen as terrible demons. And really, maybe that’s all we really were.”

“Two of my sisters and I survived, and traveled together, determined to strike back at the world for having taken our family. The battle between our people and the humans had been going on longer than any of us could have possibly known, but we were determined to end it, to take our so-called ‘rightful place’ as their rulers.”

I stopped walking and turned to the man, wondering how well he’d take what I was going to tell him. “It was a long time ago, I was a different person. I hope you can believe that. When I wake up in a cold sweat in the night, it’s because of what happened in those years.”

He nodded encouragingly, but remained silent, so I took a deep breath and continued.

“Our ignorance and vanity would be our undoing, of course. We were reckless, having grown into truly malevolent creatures that inflicted pain on everyone we could find. Time came we were taunting this civiliztaion of Dwarves, slinking through their mines, playing games in the dark that they could never hope to win. A few of them died, but we didn’t think it mattered. What were a couple of Dwarves more or less? They had thousands of people, and we couldn’t have had more than a few hundred, if that many.”

I chuckled, “They really knew their tunnels, though, even my sisters had to give them that, though they were loathe to admit it. They managed to trick us, using a combination of magic and machinery to trap us, deep underground, sacrificing a large portion of their city to do so. There were some Dwarves who were still there. They had been asked to stay behind, to help with the trap. They knew what was being asked of them.”

“As we ate the last one, I found myself unable to decide if they were brave or foolish.”

“There was plenty of food, and a lot to explore, but it didn’t matter. Whatever amenities a prison has, it’s still a prison. My sisters lost their minds trying to find the way out. One died in a cave-in. After that, the other, Aryaka, and I more or less went our separate ways. She continued to search for an escape, and I didn’t.”

“But months had passed, and I no longer believed one existed. I decided to make the most of it, setting up in an old Dwarven house. I found a library, and learned Dwarven. They had a few tomes on the Naga, that spoke of things I had never even imagined possible.”

“The Dwarves didn’t share the human belief that we were a physical source of life - why would they? - but they instead saw us as Nature spirits, protectors of life. When they would find a stream in the deep dark, it was because of us. When their children found their way back to the surface and saw the sun and grass for the first time, it was because of us. They said that we protected rivers, and lakes. Their word for us translates to ‘Persecutors of all creatures’”. I said with a smile, and a sense of pride.

“I found my sister to tell her about it. ‘This changes everything!’ I’d cried. But Aryaka only laughed, and told me of what the Naga had done to the humans. When the story was finished, she said ‘We are superior. It is our right to treat the other races as we please. Not to coddle them.’, and took the book from me as I wept, intending to rip it up. But instead, she threw it at me with a look of disgust, and left.”

“As she walked away, I noticed that she had thrown another book as well, one which depicted the Naga as monsters, meant to scare Dwarven children. I thought of how the Dwarves must have felt when they saw us in their homes, like we had stepped straight out of their nightmares.”

“I sat in penance, thinking of all the harm that I had done. As the years wore on, I think the Dwarves just forgot about us. It wasn’t until they were blasting that we were able to get free. The first thing that Aryaka wanted to do was slaughter the Dwarves who had imprisoned us. She did not understand that they were acting out of desperation for how we had treated them.”

“She had stayed strong despite the years in isolation, and her fury had only grown more and more. I knew the Dwarves wouldn’t stand a chance against her. There was no way I could let her go after them. We fought. And I killed her. My sister.”

I shook my head, fighting back tears. “After that, I traveled. I never saw another Naga. For all I know, they’re gone. But some of the Lore I read spoke of a lake, supposedly our birthplace. I never managed to find it. I’m not even sure it exists. But if it was somewhere, it may well be here.” I looked at the man, studying his features, and remembering how he’d driven the goblins away only hours before, and I continued with a smile, “And if not, well, this is as good a place as any to reform, don’t you think? After all, there are lakes and rivers here, and Nature can always use another guardian.”

Level 5 - Furious Focus - When wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands, and using the Power Attack feat, you do not suffer the Power Attack’s penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn. You still suffer the penalty on any additional attacks, including attacks of opportunity.

Special Abilities
Profiencies: All simple and martial weapons, plus the favored weapon of your deity, light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields)

Ranger’s Focus - Once per day the Ranger can focus on a single enemy within line of sight as a Swift Action. That creature remains the Ranger’s focus until either it is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, it surrenders, or the Ranger designates a new focus. The Ranger gains a +2 bonus on Attack and Damage rolls against the target of his focus.

Track - The Ranger adds half his level to Survival skill checks to follow tracks.

Wild Empathy - The Ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal by using a Diplomacy check as one would to improve the attitude of a person. The Ranger rolls 1d20 + his Ranger level + his Charisma bonus. It doesn’t matter, I’m never going to use this.

Track: The Inquisitor adds half his level on Survival checks made to follow tracks.

Solo Tactics: All the Inquisitors allies are treated as if they possessed the same Teamwork feats as the Inquisitor for determining whether the Inquisitor receives a bonus from the Teamwork feats. The allies do not receive these bonuses unless they themselves possess the feats. The allies’ positioning and actions must still meet the prerequesites listed in the feat for the Inquisitor to receive the bonuses

Judgment
1/Day - As a swift action the Inquisitor pronounces judgment on his foes. This ability lasts until combat ends, at which point the bonuses immediately end. The Inquisitor must participate in battle (ie: not be paralyzed, unconscious, etc) for these bonuses to be ‘active’. Changing a Judgment can be done as a swift action.

I saw the Dullahan posted and figured I'd go the opposite route and use an Executioner's Hood to start. Base it around an enchantment wizard or something similar and, instead of trying to kill the victim, I take control of their body, L4D2 Jockey style. Charm, Daze, Dominate, Hold, Suggestion, and then, once the rest of the threats are dead or neutralized, Suffocation being the focus of my spell selection. If I go with wizard, I'll need to talk with you, GM, about what to do in place of a spellbook.
If not wizard, do rogue or assassin and just say that it's a more vicious form and its tentacles have evolved sharp tips instead of carrying any weapons.

"What the hell??" The muffled cry drew the attention of Andrew's friends, who looked at him in time to see a small, nondescript creature drape itself over Andrew's head and face, followed by several small tentacles wrapping around his neck.
Andrew was clawing at his neck, trying to pull the tentacles free enough so that he could breathe, but he couldn't get a good enough grip on all of the tentacles to be of any use. Andrew's frantic movements pulled the group out of their shocked hesitance; Borum, a well muscled man whose face bore the signs of orcish ancestry, rushed to Andrew's side in an attempt to help his friend while Dalfoodle, a short statured and scrawny humanoid closed his eyes and began muttering to himself, only to open his eyes mere seconds later and point at the creature that had initiated the crisis.
With a single spoken command, the still unknown creature released Andrew, who pulled the hood-like creature off of his head and threw it against a wall, where it collapsed and lay still. The trio, once their adrenaline had died down, continued on into the cave system with only a single comment uttered about the whole incident, "F$+#ing Hoods."

In a twist of magic, fate, or something else entirely, casting Dominate on the kin of the Aboleth-created Cloakers awakened a piece of the Executioner's Hood that hadn't been seen before. Truly intelligent for the first time, rather than merely sentient, Hood - as he was accidentally named by the passing trio - began following the group, drawn to the Enchantment magic being cast by the wizard. Hood was not powerful on its own but its newfound intelligence allowed it to understand the basic mechanics behind the wizard's abilities and Hood was determined to do everything in its power to follow the command given to it by the wizard: "Leave us in peace." Indeed, Hood had been doing its utmost to ensure that any prey available to it was taken so that the group's travels would not be interfered with.
Andrew, Borum, and Dalfoodle had entered the cave system expecting far greater numbers of adversaries than they had experienced and it was during one of Hood's hunts that Dalfoodle stumbled across Hood once again. Suspicious but intrigued at Hood's lack of aggression towards him as he approached, Dalfoodle used his abilities to determine whether there were any lingering traces of magic upon Hood, only to discover his own Dominate spell lingering on the creature. Dalfoodle quickly convinced his group to leave the caves so that he and Hood could travel to the nearest wizard's guild and find out just what had happened and whether there was a way to recreate the incident.

====

I'd assume that it was in that place or somewhere nearby where someone from the rest of the chosen group would come across Hood and pull him away into your operation. The Dominate is fading, just EXTREMELY slowly and habit is taking its place. Combined with the rationalization that the more monsters the group neutralizes, the fewer that trio have to deal with, it would easily explain why Hood is on the side of Good rather than the side of Evil. I could write this into the background as well, but I thought it might be easier if I had a better in-character idea of The Ones Who Bump Back and what they would have done to recruit Hood. Let me know what you think. I've also got the outline of a backstory for the hood with Rogue levels instead, if that would work better. As I stated earlier, I can do the crunch once I get off work.

Eina's first clear memories were not of family, home, or warmth as many ulfens' are. Her first memories were of terror, cold stone, and a leering face. She hated that face. The mockery, the condescension, and contempt that dripped from its mouth. That face belonged to her captor. A wicked and mad mage that sought a "proper use" for all of those who claimed the north as their home. Cruel cold knives cut her again and again. Fiery potions were forced down her throat and seemed to turn to ice in her belly. An eternity seemed to pass before the mage was through. He cackled gleefully while promising the young girl that she was but the first.

His joy was short-lived. He had sought to turn Eina and the rest of her ulfen kin into unquestioning troops for the Infernal House of Thrune in hopes of currying the current queen's favor. Instead, he only succeeded in giving a young, frightened girl some of the powers of the white dragon's blood he used to brew the potions. When she failed test after test, he grew enraged and sealed the girl away, hoping to salvage her later.

It was here, in the dank cell, that Eina was finally alone. Driven to the brink of madness herself, she focused on a name she had heard from a half-remembered voice.

Torag

The name felt warm on her lips and blazed away in her heart as she prayed for freedom. Willing to do anything to get away form the madman that had tormented her for so long. Her prayers were answered. Her cell became a forge. Loose stones her hammer and anvil. A cold fire blazed away in one corner and her chains became her weapons. As she worked the metal, her body and soul were worked as well. The clang of steel held her god's proclamations and the crackle of the fire told her of his words. When she finished, she waited. The fire died and her cell grew dark again. A year and a day passed while she waited, and prayed. Her patience was rewarded the day after the anniversary of the completion of her task. The ground shook and stone cracked as a booming voice only she could hear commanded.

Go forth, find he who has tormented you and pass his judgement.

The door to her cell fell from its hinges with a clatter. And she stalked through the opening. She sought the mage and drove her crude blade through his heart, snapping it. Twelve years after being snatched from her parents, she walked outside, to stand under the open sky.

Go forth, and find those such as he. Protect those who are good of heart from his ilk, by being my sword.

She heard, and answered.

"Aye. A sword I shall be and wield then."

Eina is short from a childhood spent in perpetual starvation. He hair is a striking silver and her skin is almost as fair. Gray-blue eyes are large in her round face that also has a small button-nose. Her cheeks are graced by freckles, but most never get past the fangs in her mouth and the large wings that stretch nearly eight-feet from tip to tip to notice the rest of her.

Those That have meet her note that she does not fit the dour image of her chosen deity. Smiles and laughter come too easily to her. Though those that would harm the innocent find that her temper, while slow to arouse, is ever bit as fearsome as the dragons which her wings resemble.

The Anti-Personel Manikin 54 is designed to operate against and target soft infantry targets and mage batteriesLis a, I cn't thinkin all manner of environments. Equipped with the latest in cognizance engine, the APM-54 is capable of limited decision making and learning beyond the capacities of previous manikins.

Of course, due to this, the APM-54 must be repeatedly sanity-complexed in order to prevent a nascent persocanT Complexagain, dntoutside acceptable parameters. Failure to complex a unit may lead to disobedience, poor tactical choices, and other inefficiencies.

However, recent advances in cogdon t want tolose allow the unit to be complexed many more times than previously considered possible before aggregation begins to impact performance.

Class Abilities:
+3d6 Sneak Attack; If a rogue can catch an opponent when he
is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she
can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
Trapfinding +3; A rogue adds 1/2 her level to Perception
skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device
skill checks (minimum +1). A rogue can use Disable Device
to disarm magic traps.
Trap Sense +1; (Ex): At 3rd level, a rogue gains an intuitive
sense that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her a +1
bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge
bonus to AC against attacks made by traps.
Evasion; At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid
even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she
makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack
that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she
instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the
rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue
does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Uncanny Dodge; Starting at 4th level, a rogue can
react to danger before her senses would normally allow
her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, even if the
attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to
AC if immobilized. A rogue with this ability can still lose
her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses
the feint action (see Chapter 8) against her.

As a weasel he went thru all kinds of torments at the hands of the priests (most of which he has no recollection of!) and as such he doesn't proscribe to magic. He understands its usefullness but he finds it a rather tasteless way of disposing of ones enemies. Ive always said if an arrow at close range or a sword in the back doesnt kill it then its not for me to kill. As such he perfers to engage his target at range and barring that a backstab is the way to go! Direct frontal assaults are for warriors and HEHE folks of the cloth (ie clerics). He does recognize that softies are less capable if engaged in melee so he will attempt to defend a spellcaster in trouble.
Quirks and Idiosincracies:
Money is good, sorry folks its VERY GOOD! Looting is not acceptable in combat, he would rather wait till the fighting is done to see if anyone is dead! More for ME!
Playing jokes and pranking is a way of releaving stress, but only if its not gonna get ya killed!
One last thing that note said I needed to find a 20th level wizard and pay for the following spells Disjunction, limited wish and then go to a priest of 20th level and beg for an atonement to get back to being a human! (If I wanted to that is.......)
