ENEMIES
Dalgrytheer, The Master of Tendrils
Home Plane: Xoriat
Description: Garbed in armor that resembles chitin and with whip like tentacles extending from his back with barbed spikes at the tips. Its face is that of a human male of exceptional beauty, though its eyes are pure white without pupils.

What is known is that the dolgaunt Ruukan serves this creature and his escape could have dire consequences.

The heroes found his name on a scrap of paper in a dead man's apartment in High Walls. They are not certain what his involvement is in anything but Enmor Ashold gave a warning about him. He is apparently hostile to them as he hired gnolls to kill the heroes.
The heroes finally came face to face with him after following Uthar ir'Tonn to the Rampant Gryphon. He invited the group to sit down and talk. Explained that he bears them no ill will and that the attempt to kill them was nothing personal. It is clear that he truly believes that killing the Cyrans will prevent the coming destruction. The heroes are considering trying to find a way to convince him there is another path.
