who she will lament was to be her tool of revenge against "you all, but he's just like you!" She voices all of her suspicions
out loud. Noticing Raul, she might say, "So the Vistani have sent you kill me. I always knew they would." If Matton is with
the party, he rushes to hug Gabrielle, but she slaps him angrily across the face, saying "I killed you once Bakholis, I can kill
you again!" Matton grovels at her feet, begging forgiveness and pleading for her love.
Even a brief discussion with the party will reveal she has lost her mind. She implores the party to kill Malocchio, the
ungrateful child, when he returns. The Dungeon Master may reveal as many details of the Dukkar's powers as desired, but
they are couched in the language of a paranoid madwoman.
Gabrielle's insanity makes her extremely dangerous. During the conversation, secretly roll an evil eye check for each
member in the party; each is entitled to a +4 bonus because of the Vistani amulets. Those failing the check are charmed by
Gabrielle and sympathetic to her desires and almost tortured by her pain. Take these players quietly aside and inform them
that their characters have been charmed, and now regard Gabrielle as a dear friend, whom they must to defend to the best of
their ability. The players may retain control of their charmed characters provided they role play them appropriately. If not,
then the DM should take control of their characters when events turn against Gabrielle.
Malocchio's Return
The Dukkar returns to Cliff House just after the heroes have released Gabrielle. Time his entrance for a lull in their
conversation with the dark lord, or when some of the heroes suspect Gabrielle of foul play. Summoning dire wolves from
the estate to attend him, Malocchio confronts the party, smiling with overconfidence. There should be at least one dire wolf
per party member.
"Mother, I see you have made a mess of things again!" A cold voice echoes from the door.
Turning, you see a copper-skinned young man with dark hair, his eyes like two midnight seas. Dressed entirely in black,
with a broad white collar, he looks like an aged version of boy in black you saw at Carnival. He is surrounded by a pack of
huge black wolves that are growling menacingly.
Ask everyone in the party to make an evil eye check with the customary bonuses. Those who fail have been charmed by
Malocchio and will defend him to the death. Players may retain control of their charmed characters during the final battle
provided they role play them appropriately. Malocchio orders his charmed allies and the summoned wolves to slay Gabrielle
and her supporters. Both Matton and Raul fight against the dire wolves.
During the melee, it should be relatively simple for one of the heroes to hurl the Vistani sphere of binding at Malocchio -
providing of course that the hero carrying the sphere was not charmed by him!
When the Vistani sphere lands at the Dukkar's feet, it explodes in a flash of blinding light, flinging cordlike tendrils of
magical energy around his body. For a moment the cords look like glowing iron chains, but then they dissolve, leaving
nothing behind but sulfurous smoke.
"What have you done!" Malocchio appears more surprised than hurt,
