Seraphon – Hunters of Huanchi with Dartpipes
8" 1 6+ 1 To fight the Hunters of Huanchi is to wage war with the unseen. Before the enemy has even managed to uncover their scaled assailants, toxic darts riddle their flesh and send poison seeping into their veins. These peerless stalkers are a sub-species of skink who possess chameleonic powers gifted unto them by Huanchi, god of the hunt. They can blend their physical form with shadow-stuff and thus vanish seamlessly into their environment. Staying silent and motionless for hours on end, they wait for enemies to stumble helplessly into their trap before emerging to deal the killing strike.
Many stalkpacks of Huanchi’s warriors favour the blowpipe, a traditional weapon of skink-kind that perfectly suits their inherent talents. These weapons are filled with darts dipped into the milky poisons secreted by certain species of frogs. These toxins can be blended and brewed to inflict a variety of effects, from total paralysis to extreme hallucinations. The most commonly used toxins cause almost sudden death. Bands of blowpipe-wielding Hunters of Huanchi are employed by the slann as scouts and temple guardians, eliminating those who threaten the Serpahon’s territory without ever revealing their presence. | ||
