Description
Alrunes appears as a giant plant-like creature that may be mistaken for an odd looking tree, if creatures are not looking too carefully at her. An occasional fruit will be seen growing on her. If any creatures eat of this fruit, then they will be affected as if they had been charmed (no save) by Alrunes (Alrunes, as a consequence controls those characters by telepathy). A magic resistance check is allowed for the victem as well as a saving throw if she orders the creature's self-destruction. She rarely engages in combat, usually prefering to teleport away before melee occurs.
If forced into combat, (or if the odds seem obviously in her favor), then she may whip at her opponents with her tendrils. A natural roll of 20 on her to hit of one of her tendrils means that she has latched on to the victems neck and strangulation begins (automatic 2-8 pts. damage, and victem must make an endurance check or suffer an additional 1-12 pts damage per round, assuming that the creature hit needs to breathe). She may also 'wail' instead of choosing to fight with her tentrals. Her wail causes similar effects to that of a banshee (save or die) to those that are able to hear and are in a 10ft. radius of her. She is especially susceptable to (non-magical) fire, taking double damage from such a hit.
She may also use the following spell-like powers at 20th-level use: hallucinatory terrain, entagle, wall of fog, passplant, massmorph (2/day), darkness 15' r., teleport (no error), speak with plants, clairvoyance, and once per day use a limited wish. She may also, summon 1-4 magloire demons (detailed later) with an 80% chance of the gate opening. While near any wooded area, she may summon various plant creatures once per day:
| Roll | Plant Creatures |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1-2 quickwoods |
| 2 | 1 black willow |
| 3 | 1-2 wolf in sheep's clothing |
| 4 | 4-10 kampfult |
| 5 | 1 hangman tree |
| 6 | 3-18 mandragora |
(they do not have to come to her at their own power, but are "grown" out of the ground, near her, taking one round).
She may also appear as a beautiful, nude women. Although in this form, she may not use any of her spell-like powers or her powers natural in her tree form. She may, however, use her psionics and may use a weapon that she may be carrying. In tree form, she may use all her powers except her psionics (treat as if psionic ability was nil for purposes of attack).
