Editing Beneath Castle Everglory: LEVEL 6: The Prison (section)

==Cell 6==

This cell imprisons Eigen Forester, an ageless, fae shapeshifter who loves to feast on the flesh of humans (and other forms of intelligent life).


'''Monster'''

'''Eigen Forester'''

Eigen Forester is a tall young man with raven black hair and a long, curly black beard.  He is thin, but shows no signs of starvation.  He wears a torn white linen shirt and simple cotton trousers with scuffed leather boots.  As soon as he sees or hears the PCs, he will appear at his barred window, begging and shouting at them to set him free in the name of Goddess of Mercy (or your setting’s closest equivalent).

Eigen Forester is also a 300 year old, shape-shifting, man-eating monster of fae origin, who knows perfectly well that he was thrown into prison for murdering and eating people and has been waiting a long time for a chance to do it again.  What Eigen wants most is to be released from its cell, where it has spent so many years that it has completely lost count.  It has no sense of gratitude however and sees the party only in terms of their usefulness.  It may agree to help them, but is thinking only about what it can steal or even about whether the PCs would be worth eating.  While Eigen does not need to eat to survive, it loves to do so.  It can only eat raw meat and can only do so while in the form of the animal the meat came from.  Its favorite meat by far is human flesh.

Eigen may help the PCs to gain their trust, although he doesn’t have a lot of information to offer.  He knows that “lizardmen” (Glitterghouls) have invaded the prison and that something that slithers like a great snake (Shedeth the Scourge) roams the halls.  He didn’t see the layout of the prison on his way in and can recall nothing about “him” who threw him in prison, though he will claim to have to have been thrown in prison for refusing to bow to “him”.  He attributes being alive after centuries of imprisonment to his Elvish blood and constant prayer.

Eigen can shapechange into any normal animal between the size of a medium dog and a great cat at the cost of 4 FP.  He prefers tiger form for combat and wolf form for running away.
