Tikun Thane
Summary
A hostile wizard based in the Tower of the Ape, linked by party suspicion to “The Thane” in Newmarket.
Notes
- Commanded groups of Disciplined guards and trained baboons from the Tower of the Ape.
- Demonstrated high-mobility wizard tactics (Blink, missile pressure, counter-mage actions including Purify Air after Magebane deployment).
- In Session 34b, resisted or mitigated at least one direct lightning strike from Vael and maintained combat tempo despite repeated pressure.
- In Session 34b, repeatedly disengaged/repositioned between tower levels to force the party into unfavorable stair and balcony engagements.
- Survived multiple near-catches by retreating between levels and eventually abandoning the tower.
- Human captives recovered in Session 34c reported they were sold to him at the slave market in the Forum of Set and forced into Disciplined-style combat drills under coercion.
- In Session 34c, Vael’s Seeker/Trace placed him in Narsileon shortly after the tower actions, implying fast long-range relocation (likely magical transit).
