Breed: Mindless Ones (Lesser Demons)
Source: Delecti
Description: These look like roughly shaped humanoid statues with a
single facial feature, a glowing red horizontal slit where the eyes
should be that emits a burning red beam which will burn anything.
These demons were accidentally summoned by a Pan Tangian apprentice in
the Maluk Magic Training
Temple. The demon broke loose and nearly killed several unprepared
teachers. Luckily an "observing" fellow student was able to hold it
off
till the teachers recovered. The summoner survived, and lived due to
family pull in the temple. It was later found that when these are
summoned, that there is a chance that more than one will come (% = the
sacrifices POW that 1d100 will appear) when summoned and that they
will all be uncontrolled! These are thus best used to cause mayhem in
the area they are summoned at, though
the summoner had best have a getaway plan. They are summoned by
sacrificing a living thing (thankfully for the Temple of Maluk a small
lizard was the original sacrifice!)

Source: Delecti
Description: Black Pan Tangian Plate that occasionally seems to have
ripples flow across it. This is the basic armor bound demon, commonly
used by Pan Tangian nobles in their plate. Armor points are thus
3d8+1d10 (+1 w/helm). These are too stupid too have skills of worth.

looking new)
Need: To be cleaned weekly.

Breed: Spl'Therkll aka Mirror of Spying
Source: Delecti
Description: A mirror of varying size depending upon the use, it must
have bone and silver on its frame and the mirror must be made of
silvered glass. It will usually have a demon head with either red
jewels or glass
for eyes on the top facing back (so you can look at it while you point
it in the direction you want to spy on). The smaller mirrors can be
handheld so they can be taken about. The larger ones should be put on
the top of a high watch tower so the mirror can see better. These were
originally used by Pan Tangians, but they got the idea from the
Melnibone'ans Great Mirrors of Enchantment. To summon, one must burn a
eye, ear and tongue of a sentient along with some common herbs. Note
that they must be whole and in good/fresh condition.
CON 4d8 (18) INT 3d8 (13-14) POW 3d8 (13-14)
Abilities: See (CONx5%), Hear (CONx5%), Extra Eyes (allows it to look
around), Empathy (for a better understanding of who you are spying
on), Exhale (special, allows demon to show it's holder what it sees as
it happens, but only on the mirrored area), Emote (for full sound
quality, but again only what it shows through the mirror).
Skills: Own Plane 15%, Summoner's Language (INTx2%)
Need: To be polished with oils weekly.
Magic Points to Summon: 25
Breed: Pp'zarp aka Power Staff (Lesser Demon)
Source: Delecti
Description: A finely made staff bound and balanced like a
quarterstaff. It is made of a wood found in chaotic places (i.e.
Troos) and the demon is summoned with incense made from plants not of
the YK plane.
INT 1D8 (4-5) POW 3D8 (13-14)
HP 20+2d10
Damage: 1d8+2d10

Breed: Dhm'Krank (Lesser Demons)
Source: Delecti
Description: A finely made greatsword patterned after The Two Black
Swords, they appear to be made of black metal. A once "common" sword
among greatsword wielding Melnibone'ans. With the retreat of the
Bright Empire to the Dreaming Isle they fell into disuse though some
that were family heirlooms are possibly still around, as they tended
to be eternally bound.
INT 1d8 (4-5) POW 3d8 (13-14)
HP 18+2d10
Damage: 2d8+2d10+db
Abilities: Demon Weapon (2d10), Regenerate (keeps them looking new and
intact)
Skills: Too stupid to have any of importance.

Magic Points to Summon: 17
Breed: Morgant'Krank (Greater Demons)
Source: Delecti
Description: A finely made greatsword patterned after The Two Black
Swords, they appear to be made of black metal. The sword moans in
combat as it drains souls. Only eight (i.e. 8 arrows of chaos) of
these rarer versions of the Dhm'Krank greatswords were made for
members of the Melnibone'an royalty who were to fight alongside the
wielders of The Two Black Swords. Though not many of these were made,
their nature and eternal bindings have kept some of them in existence.
CON 8d8 (36) INT 4d8 (18) POW 5d8 (22-23) DEX 8d8 (36)
HP 18+3d10 + more from drained souls

(keeps them looking new and intact), Paralyze.

* Would be pretty high by now.
Need: To drain a soul once unsheathed.
Magic Points to Summon: 60
Breed: Pop'tchkt (Orbus Breed)
Description: Basically an object bound demon which is the size of an
eyeball. It must me made of a reddish glass or crystalline substance
which glows softly once the demon is bound in it. It must be placed in
one of the binder's eyesockets and will enable the binder to use all
the demon's abilities only while uncovered (i.e. the eye is open)
CON 5d8 (22-23) INT 1d8 (4-5) POW 3d8 (13-14)
Abilities: See (CONx5%), Soul Sight (150 yards), Seer 75% (10 years),
Empathy.
Needs: To look at the world each day (i.e. not remain covered up all
the time!), and drain a miniscule amount of blood from the caster (no
real effect except once in a great while a blood tear may form).
Skills: The Orbus demons are not intelligent enough to really think,
thus the need to see is just in their nature and they can't
communicate enough for skills to matter.
Magic Points to Summon: 35
Breed: P'orrrtas aka Teleport Demons (lesser Demons)
Source: Delecti
Description: These large sickly green gaseous clouds are almost never
bound into objects, but is used as a one-time transport of many
things. These demons have been used by sorcerers from this plane for
thousands of years, they possibly transported troops of the Bright
Empire to Menastree. So the knowledge of them is pretty widespread,
and so is their knowledge of the Young Kingdoms plane in regards to
landmarks. The Demons require a sacrifice of a number of living things
which have a total POW equal to the SIZ teleported, so that does
inhibit the use of them a bit (Pan Tang has used them to do long range
boarding from their ships). It is believed that they regain the CON
used in this way. They usually stay dematerialized until they attack
or teleport.
