Shabaz'bax

Shabaz'bax is an Oni formerly residing in the caves adjacent to the town of Triboar.

History
Not much is known of Shabaz'bax's history, but they have been residing in the cave system next to Triboar for long enough that locals know not to venture too close or risk a horrible death.

The first member of the Brotherhood of Fortune to encounter Shabaz'bax was Vyril, who happened upon the Oni's cave during a seemingly routine solo hunting expedition. Vyril noticed fresh blood outside the entrance to the cave, and like an idiot decided a good course of action would be to track down the source of the blood, alone.

Upon entering the mouth of the cave, Vyril tripped on one of the bones scattered across the ground and slid down an incline into Shabaz'bax's personal chamber. The sight of the Oni's burning eyes and glinting teeth, stepping out of the darkness, will haunt Vyril to the end of his days.

Fortunately for Vyril, he had a bottle of paralysis poison on hand, and with a poisoned arrow managed to subdue the Oni for a precious few minutes, letting Vyril retreat to higher ground. As soon as Shabaz'bax had regained movement, however, they took to the skies and closed the distance, coming within close enough range to cast Ice Cone, a spell of immeasurable cruelty and destruction. Vyril was knocked unconscious and frozen to the body of his horse, who continued rushing toward the perimeter of the forest. At the edge of the treeline, the Oni halted.

Several weeks later, as part of the Brotherhood's efforts in the War of Triboar, the rest of the band of sellswords engaged Shabaz'bax in combat in order to clear the Oni's cave for use in military operations. Shabaz'bax was located by Elasalor's spectral raven, Graven, inside their pleasure tent, a silken structure placed atop a massive pile of bones, engaged in carnal relations with the fire giant Zorbax.

Although Shabaz'bax's dreaded ice cone destroyed the lions, bears, axebeaks, and bugbears that the Brotherhood had brought along for support, our heroes managed to prevail, destroying the Oni's pleasure tent and pleasure pal, as well as forcing Shabaz'bax to assume gaseous form and retreat from the cave system.

Shabaz'bax has not been seen since.
