Description
These creatures were created by Derej the Mage to train slaves destined for the fighting pits. As they were designed for training, the number of these creatures appearing is generally equal to the sum of the levels of the group of adventurers facing them. They will always attack until reduced to zero hit points.
Derej Pit Creatures are easily identified as they are all white with a diamond-shaped red mark on their foreheads. When reduced to zero hit points, a derej pit creature dissolves into a harmless white mist.
A Derej Cobra's bite increases in damage every time it strikes. A derej cobra inflicts 1d4 points of damage for its first hit, 1d6 for its second hit, and so on up to 1d12; after 1d12, the damage becomes 2d6, then 2d8, then 2d10. This increased damage potential is reduced 1 die level per turn after combat ends, to a minimum of 1d4.
