Jervis Stoot


Rise of the Runelords


In my RotR campaign, the heroes have encountered an attic whisperer in the Turandarok Academy. The attic whisperer spawned when the little sister of Jervis Stoot was murdered by the Academy's previous caretaker, who also molested children (including her brother). This cruel man became Chopper's 24th victim. The attic whisperer never bothered anyone, until recently when a kid managed to break into Ilsoari's basement, where the corpse of the small girl had been hidden.

One of the items fused into the attic whisperer was a music box, with bird carvings (one of Stoot's earlier works). The heroes always hear the haunting tune of the music box while searching for the "ghost". It has turned into a very interesting ghost story, and the heroes are now very interested in the Chopper's murdering spree, five years ago.

I was wondering, the bird-like demon the Chopper supposedly worshiped whose name none dared say aloud, is this perhaps Pazuzu, king of the Wind demons...?

It is.

Wow - that was fast. Does it say somewhere, or has this already been discussed on the message boards. I didn't find it.

Both, actually.

Check the really old blog posts for pathfinder, IIRC, it was in one of the first few blog posts.

EDIT: And the blog post I'm referring to was a sneak peek of Pathfinder #1, pages 60-61, titled The Late Unpleasantness.

Pazuzu's name isn't directly mentioned, but it's strongly hinted at.

Hope this helps.

Yup; Stoot's demonic patron was indeed Pazuzu.

I saw the following article and thought: real life Jervis Stoot? (pre-Pazuzu... for now!)

I figure this is a safe enough thread to hijack, and it is slightly topical.
