Bevkotekk

Bevkotekk is a male troglodyte cleric in the Sanlow campaign.

Bevkotekk is a Troglodyte cleric of Baraxus. He is responsible for opening the seal under the town of Brookhollow and allowing demonic creatures to enter the realm during the War of Alliance.

## Background

Bevkotekk is a cleric of Baraxus and a member of the Stone Dragon Tribe. He fought with his clan under the command of Kroxxvomek when they successfully captured Redwyne and later when they moved on to Brookhollow. His main goal in the capture of Brookhollow was to secure the seal in the ancient castle ruins near the village and open it to allow demons into Emeron to aid in the war effort. Kor Bloodaxe was intended to perform this deed in advance of the Stone Dragon’s invasion of Brookhollow, but he had been defeated by the Phoenix Hounds.

## Securing the Seal

After Brookhollow was captured Bevkotekk led the expeditions into the ruins, using the enslaved townsfolk to finish the digging that Kor had started. Upon finding the necessary chambers, he sent the slaves forward, forcing them to trigger the traps left behind and face and distract the dangerous creatures within the ruins while Bevkotekk and the troglodyte warriors with them slew the monsters.

To Bevkotekk’s surprise, he found several demons in the ruins, though none of them communicated with him at first. Eventually one of them, who called himself Urpan, did. He explained that he and the others had been trapped, at least a thousand years ago, when the gate was closed, and the magic of the seal prevented them from getting back to their home plane.

Urpan offered to aid Bevkotekk in opening the seal so that he could get home. Bevkotekk agreed, avoiding telling Urpan that if the ritual completed, he would be able to control any demon that comes through to command it in the Alliance’s forces.

## Opening the Seal

Bevkotekk’s research, aided by notes left behind by Kor Bloodaxe, indicated that he would need the blood of good-hearted individuals in order to open the seal, the more powerful and more pure the better. Only one would be needed to open the seal, but the more he sacrificed during the ritual the better his control of the creatures that came through.

The troglodyte had his pick of good hearted townsfolk, but none were particularly powerful or pure. Luck was with him, however, when four adventurers, Cassandra, Ulik Torin, Tookany Schuylkill, and Haranavei Fallonlimb were captured in Redwyne and brought to Brookhollow. Bevkotekk convinced Kroxxvomek to allow him to conduct the interrogation, but soon came to the conclusion that they had little useful information on the movements of the Rupmon army. Still Bevkotekk determined they’d be useful in his ritual.

He and Urpan prepared the ritual, but as they were conducting it, the Rupmon forces attacked Brookhollow and the Phoenix Hounds invaded. In short order they had cut their way through Bevokotekk’s guards and interrupted the ritual, but not before Bevkotekk was able to sacrifice Cassandra, opening the gate to the Infernal Plane. Before he could sacrifice an more of his victims, however, the Phoenix Hounds began to attack him and Urpan turned on him, also attacking and urging the invading humanoids to slay him. Surrounded and unable to complete his ritual, Bevkotekk cast his last ditch spell, teleporting to safety.
