Shaftim (mummy)

npc active

Current state

[S58] A mummy NPC referenced as having given the party the map for the current floor; his room (near the floor-5 portal) is where the grave knight was last seen. Mentioned secondhand, not encountered on-screen this session; name is ASR-garbled (Shaftim / 'Shaft Kim' / 'Shuffkin'). [from sessions 037/041] First encountered sealed behind a runed door, rustling paper and pleading 'help me'; a paper/book-sustained mummy-type undead and former servant/administrator of Lady Belcorra, imprisoned for centuries by a rival, more dangerous servant whom he holds a vendetta against. Bargained information for freedom; the party could not confirm whether he was lying.

  • S40 A knowledgeable, cloaked mummy the party freed this session from a locked room where a traitor (Jafiky/Jafuki) had imprisoned him long ago. He warns the dungeon teems with danger (mimics, monsters) and describes the Sugasti swamp creatures. The deal ('we free him, he helps us') frays when he… [S40 · 02:03:36 · turn 0738]
  • S48 A mummy NPC the party somewhat befriended a few days ago, who gave them information on the floor: that the flesh-warped guards were 'just a small prize,' and details on the named Sagathi. He had requested the Sagathi's alchemical/chemical toolkit. The party debates returning to him 'before he… [S48 · 03:05:49 · turn 1659]
  • S49 A mummified Sgathi NPC, formerly loyal to Belcorra, whom the party met (but did not free) in a prior session.

Has an aura of despair that… [S49 · 03:39:42 · turn 1963]
  • S52 A mummy spellcaster operating in the Abomination Vaults. He hired the party to behead a Sagathi (a 'creature's head') in exchange for a floor map that turned out to be a spell page. He grants a parley extension after a Diplomacy check, saying he'll wait until midnight before returning to his… [S52 · 01:14:55 · turn 0612]
