Not to be confused with Cuchul.
| “ | Please don't kill me! Please, please, please, please, please! | ” |
Cuchol, the Scourge of Lachom and Ravisher of Surkh,[1] is a fighter/mage, who is trapped on the Ice Island in Tales of the Sword Coast.
After begging a lot not to kill him and complaining at a similar rate about the temperature of this place, the mage with "the body of a god" will attack the party – either because he thinks; some "trull" has sent assassins, because he wants to have the ward, or because he deems the party useless after they indeed gave him this wardstone.[1]
Background[]
Cuchol assumes being captured on the Ice Island for some trouble with one or more women from Surkh, his hometown. The name Yspank is dropped, but whether she was his lover, his protector, or the one who might send assassins after him, remains unclear.[1]
Gameplay[]
- During battle, Cuchol will run through his progression of spells, but, he won't use the two Fireball spells unless the party has a single class cleric as a member and the cleric is within eyesight of him. So either Gorion's Ward is a cleric or Branwen and/or Viconia are members of the party and one of the three is within eyesight of him. Also, if the cleric comes into eyesight anytime before Cuchol has finished casting his spells or is killed, he'll cast the Fireball spells towards the cleric.
- A multi-class cleric will not trigger the two Fireball spells.
- For enemies here with a similar style of combat, see Beyn, Dezkiel, and Garan.
Trivia[]
- Though a fighter/mage, Cuchol's creature file only has access to spells, not to the following weapons and other items he carries that are without assigned inventory slots and thus are not droppable:
- Regarding stats, inventory, memorized spells, and AI (with minor differences), the three fighter/mage's in the Ice Island maze – Beyn, Cuchol, and Dezkiel, along with the mage/thief Garan – are all created from the same creature template.
In Tales of the Sword Coast:
- Cuchol's creature file has him as a human of unknown gender, although he is multi-classed and appears as a half-elf.
