"The two of you have proven yourselves to me. I'm very proud," Pranthornus, the baatezu, stroked his chin as he looked down onto his half-human offspring. "You have performed deeds so vile, so perverse, many of my putrid lessers have come to admire you."

The two half-fiends smiled wickedly, but briefly, as they stared daggers at each other. Out of all of the bastardized children fathered by the minor Lord of Baator, these two held closest to their father's dark behavior. Tihlbrong, who had greasy, black-feathered wings and a wicked smile of razors, had killed his surrogate family shortly after his 7th birthday. Lardosz, reeking of sulfur and sporting a barbed tail, slaughtered everyone at the tiny orphanage where she lived until she was 9.

"There is one more task you must do, before I will allow you to see of what true evil is capable." A wicked sneer spread across the pit fiend's face, as the two half-fiends leaned in closer in eagerness and awe. "While your victim is still alive, remove 100 of these disgusting mortals' hearts."

Their eyes widened at the prospect. Noticing this, Pranthornus' smile widened. "There is a catch. The 100th heart you collect must be of your opponent. Now go! You have one year."

The being steps forward, a wicked grin on his face. Drawing his longsword, he spreads his greasy, black-feathered wings. "I'll make your defeat quick, but your torture will be enjoyably longer!" he cackles through a row of dangerous-looking fangs.

Tihlbrong is a powerful, domineering figure, preferring to capture and torture his prey than outright slaughter. (More and story soon)

Looking into the shadows, you see a pair of smoldering, red eyes. The owner of the eyes springs out and swipes at you, and you are overcome with the scent of sulfur, filling you with dread.

Lardosz is a cold, animal-like killer, with ebony skin and a long, barbed tail. She is very determined, never giving up on a quarry until she has personally killed it.

Dark Skin (Ex) - Lardosz has very dark skin. She has a +2 bonus to Hide check when attempting to hide in shadows.

Natural Poison (Ex) - When Lardosz strikes an enemy with her tail, the target must make a DC 16 Fortitude save or be inflicted (1d4 Con damage initial, 1d6 Con damage secondary)

Smite Good (Su) - Once per day, Lardosz can make a normal melee attack that deals +12 damage against a good foe.

Spell-Like Abilities - Darkness 3/day, Desecrate, Unholy Blight, Poison 3/day, Contagion. Caster level 12, DC 8

Stench of Impending Doom (Su) - Any creature who threatens Lardosz is overwhelmed with the scent of sulfur and brimstone, invoking images of Baator. Creatures must make a DC 18 Fortitude save or suffer a -2 on attack rolls, damage rolls, and Will saves. Creatures who pass the save are immune to the effect for 24 hours. Creatures with especially sensitive scent are at a -4 to the save. Creatures without the ability to smell, or creatures immune to mind-affeting abilities suffer no penalty. This is a mind-affecting ability.

Heartripper Claw
This wicked looking device has six sharp talons protruding from its ebony core.
A Heartripper Claw is a malevolent piece of arcane torture, intended to rip the still-beating heart out of its victim. Three times per day, the wielder can make a melee touch attack against a target with the claw in hand, reaching for the target's chest. Saying the command word causes the barbed, razor-sharp arms to reach out and puncture the chest. It will then have one of three effects:
If the target has less than 10 HP, its heart is ripped out violently in one round, killing it. No save is allowed.
If the target has between 10 and 50 HP, the claw attempts to rip the heart out of its victim. The target must fail two consecutive Fortitude saves (DC 20) to be killed. The target may attempt to remove the claw forcibly by making an opposed grapple check against the wielder, which deals 2d6 damage and removes the claw.
If the target has greater than 50 HP, the claw deals 3d6 damage to it. Creatures without discernible anatomy or who are immune to critical hits are only subject to this effect.A favorite execution tool of the Nine Hells, it is often depicted in religious artwork as the vicious claws of devils, torturing and slaughtering mortals who are unfortunate enough to fall within reach.

As a gift to his bastard children, Pranthornus gave them each one of these wretched tools under the guise of rewards for their deeds. But the two he gave to them have the unique ability to be activated remotely against their owner. Not a true fear for the pit fiend, but more of an assurance that he could exert his dominance over their frail, mortal bodies, in case they proved to think of themselves as anything close to his equal.
