Once a simple village peasant, Jory found himself transformed in undeath into a powerful creature. Through the countless centuries unlived since then, he has honed his skills in combat and magic, amassed great wealth and many possessions, and now resides in a stonily quiet Tower of Silence. He's not about to let any puny adventurers ruin his hard work, so those who encounter him should beware!

Useful Info

Jory is a unique vampire capable of mesmerizing you like a mermaid and damaging your intelligence like a brain worm. He protects his vault with the aid of several silent spectres. When he dies, it's with an unusually large spray of blood instead of a corpse.

Spells: Lehudib's Crystal Spear (3d37), Pain (1d17), Blink, Mesmerise, Brain Feed, Vampiric Draining

Tips & Tricks

Unfortunately, Jory forgot to ask the developers to give him the !sil property. The end result is that he tends to be more of a melee threat, unless you meticulously kill every single silent spectre in his tower before facing him. Dispel Undead is handy but usually not necessary by the time you meet him.
