Moloch is a grand duke,
viceroy of Baalzebul,
and the lord of <Malbolge><link>,
Hell's 6th Plane.
He is as strong as a hill giant <link
to Str> and attacks by grabbing and crushing or piercing with huge hands
and taloned fingers and then by biting with his shark-toothed maw.
Moloch carries a 6-tailed whip made of
an unknown pliable metal.
This device delivers 1, 2, or 4 points
of damage per tail strike,
depending on the charges Moloch expends.
He may expend up to 20 charges per turn.
Damage is electrical
in nature and so greatly feared by less powerful devils. <finish color
detail>
The whip itself has no charges. <unclear>
Once per turn |or| melee round, as applicable,
Moloch can, at will, use the following spell-like powers as a 20th level
magic-user:
<per turn or melee round is a little
confusing>
affect normal fires | animate dead | [beguile] | burning hands (16 points of damage) | [detect invisible] | detect magic | fire charm | fly | geas |
[illusion] | [know alignment] | [polymorph self] | [produce fire] | [produce flame] | [pyrotechnics] | [raise dead fully] | [read languages] | [read magic] |
[suggestion] | [teleport] with no error | [wall of fire] | fulfill another's [limited wish] | - | - | - | - | - |
<beguile: link to rod of beguiling>
<detect invisible: make manual link
to detect invisibility>
<illusion is as wand of illusion>
<raise dead fully : make manual link
to ressurection?>
<read languages : make manual link
to comprehend languages?>
<format table>
Once per day, Moloch is able to
create a [flame strike] | use a [symbol of stunning] | and pronounce an [unholy word] |
When Moloch chooses, he may breathe upon
1-8 persons within 30 feet.
Those who fail their SAVE vs. breath weapon
will be affected by such fear that they will
drop their weapons and flee.
He can summon 1-3 horned
devils (80% chance of success).
Great enmity exists between Moloch and
Geryon.
If it were not for Baalzebul,
there would be open warfare between these
two,
much to Moloch's detriment and Mephistopheles'
delight.
Moloch is a great, square-bodied creature
with red-orange skin, short thick arms and legs, and huge square hands
and feet.
His feet and head are horned.
His head is huge with slanting eyes and
gaping mouth.
MP: Moloch, vassal to Baalzebul,
rules the rockfall layer of
Malbolge
for his lord. The Lord of the Flies denies Moloch a permanent
home, so Moloch moves from location to
location int he
layer.
