The Lore

Our Villain of the Day is a dwarven devotee of Asmodeus who failed to join his clergy because he didn’t have the brains for it. When Thrune took over he and a bunch of like-minded buddies from the Chelish Citizen’s Group got a job as mercenaries working for the new government. They got put in charge of running the recently seized Salix Salt Works as a forced labor camp for low-priority prisoners.

The profits from the operation are all meant to go to Thrune, but Kossrani has been skimming some salt off the top and selling it on the black market late at night. He thinks he’s in the clear, but his bosses are aware of this and he’s on thin ice with them.

The Numbers

Kossrani is based on the Brute template from GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 15: Henchmen. He’s supposed to be a mini-boss for the Prisoners of Salt encounter, commanding a small squad of CCG Thugs who use the rules for worthy opponents instead of fodder.

His equipment is somewhat similar to that of the original Pathfinder version, and his very nice anti-magic amulet was added by the luck of the dice during my own sessions. Since the players broke into the salt works at night, Kossrani didn’t have his armor on, and only had access to the amulet and his weapons. He was still a bit of a tough nut to crack.
