Ulrista - The Demon Chariot

Centuries ago, the Dwarf Mages of the Engineers' Guild summoned the demon lord Ulrishta, planning to entrap him in a war-chariot they had constructed. Their plans went slightly awry. His spirit was free for a few instants during which he destroyed most of the Dwarven complex and killed the Mages who had summoned him. He remained, trapped in the chariot, within the pentagram the Dwarves had drawn, until Sourgutt stumbled upon the chamber.

Once free of the pentagram Ulrishta can function in chariot form, manifesting part of himself as a sentient and somewhat talkative warboar. In addition, he has the full powers of a wizard of 4th level, with a magic level of 40 and 40 magic points. Ulrishta regains magic points, not by resting, but by killing; for every wound caused by the chariot or the boar, Ulrishta gains one magic point. If he can regain 100 points, he can free himself of his chariot form - if his chariot form is destroyed, he will be killed permanently. However, Ulrishta will use magic points to defend himself and Sourgutt.

Boar5606656310101010

The Boar part of Ulrishta fights separately, attacking to the front only. Damage to either the boar or chariot is replenished at the end of the game, but if either boar or chariot are destroyed Ulrishta is killed and the whole chariot is removed. Sourgutt and his driver are not destroyed and may continue to fight on foot.

Ulrishta has the following spells.

Level 1. Wind blast, Flight.

Level 2. Aura of protection, Lightning bolt, Smash.

Level 3. Arrow invulnerability, Cause cowardly flight, Cause fear.

Level 4. Change allegience, Stand still.

The flight spell, aura spell and arrow invulnerability spells apply to the chariot boar, Sourgutt and driver. The smash spell can be delivered by any of the chariot crew or boar.

Special rules. If the chariot is shaken and a crew member pitched out and killed, this will be the driver first. As a sentient creature, the chariot does not really need a driver and can function just as well without. If the axle snaps the chariot is out of action for the remainder of the game. If the yoke snaps the boar may continue to fight independently. If the chariot overturns it is destroyed for good, including the boar part.
