The Slyth
The people of the deep
Far below the underdark realms
of the Drow
Where the sounds of silent stretching caverns
babbling weeping waters building living stone
and the low throb of the earth's hot blood
are the sounds of nature most heard
if nothing else

The slyth
are shifters of a sort
able to take on an oozelike amorphious
form something between a liquid and a solid
resembling something like a sirup or clayslip
or a dark puddle if still
When moving the slyth can swim
or climb walls and ceilings as quickly
as open land in this form, slythering along
with a rolling undulation nearly invisable over stone
or in water and are able to seep or work through openings
as small as two inches in diameter
Slyth breath water as well as air are immune to poisons
polymorphing and resistant to sonic energy
When a slyth changes form to the amorphic state
all the items worn or held change as well
Magical items becoming inert for that time

Vuz'zt Noqughym
The name means
"Unknown hunter Sacred to the forgotten ways"
Given in a dialect so close to drowic as to be understood.
His parents had lived as scouts
in and amoung the dark elven cities for a time
learning things of the deepelven ways
while garneshing information and intelligence
to take back to those of their kind.
Vuz'zt
Has worked from early on to
become something different from
his parents

He has worked to master the albility to mimic
the form of the solid ones perfecting one or two
that are handsom or beautiful by their standards
He has worked to perfect his own control over
his amorphious form allowing him to partialy change
or stretch out whips or tendrels of himself using them to
manipulate objects or attack from a distance or to sense
the world from farther away and can use his blindsight
in any form so that it is very difficult to sneak
up on him

Vuz'zt is also working to harness within himself
the ability his ancestors had to work magic
It is a thing of the spirit and body
The slyth are very natural magical but few now
tap into the power they once had
choosing instead the way easiest

It was seen early on in him by his elders
It is why they gave him the name they did
Neutral in most things
Vuz'zt has a fine sense of curiousity
and a deep connection with nature as all
his kind do
He is not above theft or killing
to get what he wants or needs
It is nature's way to weed out the weak
