TACTICS

Before Combat She casts magic vestment on her clothing and greater magic weapon on her dagger every morning. She uses her ring to cast endure elements on herself every morning as well. Once she realizes the PCs are in the Pinnacle, she casts air walk and death knell on herself. If possible, just before combat begins, she casts sending to warn her ally his enemies are near.

During Combat She lets her harridan minions engage the PCs at first while she hangs back and uses her attack spells at range. As soon as one harridan dies, she abandons this tactic and enters melee as well. She saves her quickened attack spells to augment her melee attacks. She fights to the death.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Undersized Weapons (Ex)

Although she is Huge, her upper torso is the same size as that of a Large humanoid. As a result, she wields weapons as if she were one size category smaller than her actual size.

Ecology

Organization solitary plus 2 harridans (EL 17)
Treasure Gear

This massive beast is a beautiful giantess from the waist up and a vicious hunting cat from the waist down. Somehow, the look of abject cruelty in her eyes is more unsettling than the feral claws of her lower half.

Harridans are manipulators and slave takers, the spiritual leaders of the lamyros race’s dark faith. Megalomaniacal and corrupt, these giant lamias obsess over control, seeking to bend all they encounter to their will through lies and subtlety, brute force, or magic. Fewer in number than even the rare lamia matriarchs, harridans are the cunning masterminds of their race and all other lamias rightly fear and obey these powerful and cruel despots.

A harridan is a massive creature with the torso of a gigantic female humanoid sprouting from the body of a 20-foot-long dire lion. Her fur is darker than that of a normal dire lion, making it easier for her to blend in with the rocks of the mountains and deserts where harridans reside, and her upper body is hairless save for a luxurious mane of thick hair growing from her scalp. Harridans often weigh upwards of 6,000 pounds and can live to be more than 500 years old.
