It is told that Raxivort began life centuries ago as a normal
xvart. Due to his superior capabilities, he rose to leadership of
all xvarts, and because of great service to a demon (some say
Graz’zt), Raxivort was granted certain
powers and appointed
Master of Slaves of the demon. Raxivort feigned gratitude and
bided his time. Eventually, the cunning xvart gained sufficient
knowledge and power to loot the demon’s strong-room, and
with this new arsenal attempted to wrest control of the Abyssal
Plane from its lord. The battle was titanic and lasted for months,
neither side being able to better the other.
Raxivort is Lord of Xvartkind, Packmaster of Rats, Night Flutterer.
He can take the form of a xvart, rat, or giant bat (mobat;
see different movement rate indicated above) — or use magic to
take other human, demihuman, or humanoid guise. Raxivort’s
normal form is xvart, of course, with bright blue skin and burning
orange eyes. His features are gross and ugly in the extreme.
Raxivort wears silken garments over blue mail, the whole
shimmering as if aflame.
At last Raxivort sought a truce and departed for the wildly
changing planes of Pandemonium, giving up the portion of the
Abyssal Plane he had taken, but carrying off great spoils. Raxivort
now reigns in luxury, while demons shun him, and one (at
least) plots a black revenge.
Raxivort favors small, bladed weapons such as knives,
daggers, and short swords. He can hurl any such weapon with
great accuracy (+4 “to hit”). He seldom has fewer than a dozen
throwing knives and daggers, and when hurled by him they
strike as +4 magic weapons. Raxivort also has a falchion of
small size (equal to a short sword) but great magical power. In
his hands it acts as a +5 weapon, with the power to paralyze one
specific type of creature. Upon command, the power of the
weapon is activated, and it remains active for 1-6 hours; then it
is dormant for one day. The sword, “Azure Razor,” can then be
called upon to perform again.
In addition to his other powers, Raxivort has the ability to
generate a blue blaze from his left hand. This flame combines
the powers of both fire and acid. The blue blaze fans out from
his hand to a distance of 2”, with a maximum width of 2” at its
terminus. Creatures caught in this magic acid-flame must save
twice or take full damage— 5-20 points of fire damage. Raxivort
can use his blue blaze only once every four rounds and no more
than six times per day. It takes but 1 segment to employ the
power and reduces his attacks by only one-half, i.e. 2 per round
rather than 4.
Raxivort has many companies of xvart fighters to serve and
guard him. Likewise, he has packs of the largest giant rats and
scores of mobats at his beck and call.
Shamans serving Raxivort always display the blue-flaming
hand symbol of their deity. These shamans can attain as high as
the 7th level of clerical ability. Magic-using witch doctors can
attain 4th level. (Note that their spells are limited, but some have
gained burning hands spell ability.)
