Seraphon – Hunters of Huanchi with Starstone Bolas
8" 1 6+ 1 The Hunters of Huanchi are proficient with many weapons, for, unlike the majority of skinks, they are solitary and solemn beings who dedicate their entire lives to mastering the art of ambush warfare. Following the tenets laid down by their namesake deity, they prefer to stalk their prey unseen – only striking when the enemy’s guard is lowered and they are at their most vulnerable. Ranged weapons are their favoured tools for this purpose, for they suit a chameleon skink’s slight frame and dexterous ability.
Perhaps the most devastating of these are the starstone bolas. These weapons consist of a leather strap containing multiple moonstone orbs, each charged with Azyrite energy. When thrown, the bolas unleash a sizzling blast that burns and blackens the target’s flesh. As the enemy reels, scorched and half blinded, they are skewered by volleys of hunter javelins launched with perfect accuracy. The Hunters of Huanchi do not hesitate to charge in amongst their prey to deal a killing blow. They swing light maces and use their javelins, which have celestium points sharp enough to cut diamond, as short spears to finish off those who survived their initial barrage. | ||
