Rakshasas of C2

Askash & Udrar

• After their embarassing defeat outside Waptropolis during the fiend invasion of C2, fell back into the Abyss where they regenerated, swearing vengeance on those that defeated them
• They spent 100 years elevating themselves to FULL RAKSASHAS, and then returned to the Prime Material, slowly making their way back to Domunz
• Being much more powerful and clever this time around, they revived the Paracettus Assassins Guild , pretending to be the Goliath Tessik (the former head of the Kuniculai) and his ally Xinshev (the Goliath Bounty Hunter), pretending the pair had returned from the DEAD and were out for revenge
• They now have Paracettus assassins through Domunz searching for the DJ's and their allies, ready to strike them down
• Their HQ is beneath a WAREHOUSE in NEW SHI that was formerly part of the REX's STEW Quest

Your hosts’ luxurious laughs transform into sinister chuckles as they reach hands up to claw the air. Your image of them rips away—evaporating like a cloak of colored smoke—to reveal the hulking forms of orange and black fur with a leonine face. Whiskered lips curl in broad smiles of sharp fangs and long tusks as the chuckles becomes low growls.

WHO BROUGHT THEM BACK TO DOMUNZ?

• After the events of C2, Zariel was finished with Domunz, deciding to focus her efforts back on Avernus and the Nine Hells and leave the Fiends in the Abyss (realizing it was a mistake to ever make that alliance and leave the Nine Hells in the first place). Once back in Avernus, she begrudgingly met with Tiamat to discuss happenings on Domunz, knowing she had to maintain the uneasy truce as they were both denizens of the first layer of Hell. It was then that Tiamat informed her of the Cabal of Cthulhu and the potential rise of a avatar of the Great Old One in those lands. Zariel was amused, but stuck with her decision to stay out of the cursed plane. However, she was aware of the two Rakshasa regenerating in her keep, and offered to help them find their way back to Domunz to sow discord as a gift for Tiamat and her allies. Tiamat was suspicious, but knew that the Rakshasas would be out for specific revenge, and she told Zariel to point them specifically at the King of Obreriault, Alphanis, first and foremost, as it would throw all of Terus into turmoil.
• It was Zariel who ensured the Zakya Rakshasas were elevated into full Rakshasas, and then it was Tiamat that quietly paved their path through the multivers, eventually leading them back into Domunz (a difficult path due to the protections around that world, but one she had already found as she sent her Abishae there)
• And so the Rakshasas were agents of Zariel, lent to Tiamat (though they did not know it), doing work to help the Cabal of Cthulhu (again without knowing it), which was just find for both Zariel and Tiamat, as both fully expected the Rakshasas to perish in the end, and they would rather they not have any information to share with any heroes.
