Description
These guardian spirits resemble winged elves or nymphs. They are usually found only in an Etruscan Necropolis, or in the company of the goddess Turan. No Lasa will willingly harm another being unless they intend to pillage a grave, for this is their sacred duty as guardians.
Combat
The Lasa do not care for persona combat and will attempt to neutralize their foes by beguiling them or through the use of spells from above. Lasa are able to cast spells as a 5th level priest, but are limited to the spheres of All, Charm, Combat, Divination, Guardian, and Protection. This gives them four 1st level, three 2nd level and one 3rd level priest spells.
Once a day they are also able to cast gate to summon 1-4 of their fellows. They can also cast wraithform at will. It requires a +1 weapon or better to strike a Lasa.
Habitat/Society
These beautiful females only inhabit the crypts of a gravesite that has been blessed by Turan. They are normally found on the home plane of their goddess, where they engage in much play and frivolity. They are serious about their duty, however, and will tolerate no breech of a tomb. If approached in a friendly manner, a Lasa will freely talk about her duty, her goddess, or any other subject that interests her. She will be especially taken by any priest of Turan, or her equivalent.
Ecology
The Lasa believe that looting a sanctified tomb is the worst crime that a mortal can commit, and will try her utmost to keep her ward safe from such evil beings. She will aid any beings who will help her in this duty. A Lasa is a tireless guardian who requires no refreshments of any kind. She watches a gravesite for seven years before being replaced by another of her kind.
