Lava Elves (Morehl)

Lava Elves (Morehl)

Death laughed at the sight of his Trogs, created from his corruption of Eldurim's bones. “What else might I beget?” thought he, and his wicked eye fell upon his sister Firiel.

He ravished her, but the spirit of fire fought back. Firiel charred the flesh of Death, and he fell away, writhing in pain at her cleansing power. Frantically he scraped his limbs, seeking only to escape his pain.

The brittle bits of flesh fell to the ground, then slowly grew as the life spirit within them took hold. They sprang from the soil beneath Death's feet, fully formed as the Morehl. They looked up at their father, who looked down at them and laughed, well pleased, his burns forgotten.

As Death had done with his Trogs, so did he with the Morehl. A favored few he imbued with more of his bitter spirit, corrupting nearly all that remained of Firiel in these children. And so the dreaded Beholder was born, as were the evil Drider, the snarling Hell Hound, and the ferocious Rakshasa.

A fifth Morehl showed an exceptional aptitude for malevolence, and Death fostered it with special care. Now the Lurker in the Deep guards the inner sanctum of the Morehl homeland, and none save Lava Elves have ever seen it.

When targeting an army at the same terrain with a missile attack, Lava Elves missile results inflict damage that may only be reduced by save results generated by spells.

SAI Effects

Bullseye

Roll this unit again and apply the new result as well. During a dragon attack, Bullseye generates X missile results.

Cantrip
Magic, Non-Maneuver	During a magic action or Magic Negation (Frostwings) roll, Cantrip generates X magic results. During other non-maneuver rolls, Cantrip generates X magic results that only allow you to cast spells marked as 'Cantrip' from the spell list.

Charm
Melee	During a melee attack, target up to X health-worth of units in the defending army; those units don't roll to save during this march. Instead, the owner rolls these units and adds their results to the attacking army's results. Those units may take damage from the melee attack as normal.

Re-roll the targeted units, ignoring all previous results.

Only save results generated by spells may reduce this damage. During any other save roll, Counter generates X save results. During a melee attack, Counter generates X melee results.
