Description

Balkrin’ Vanaga’s mother.

Hyrina is a rather heavy woman in her early 60s who wields a great deal of authority in the caravan. Although she is very careful not to oppose her son openly (and therefore weaken his status), she often speaks to him in private and attempts to steer him onto what she thinks is the best course for the gypsies. Although Balkrin always has the final word, he also has a great deal of respect for his mother and carefully considers her advice. Mama’s magical abilities are looked upon with great reverence by the rest of the gypsies.

Mama Vanagas is a 6th-level human magic-user, chaotic neutral, with Str 7, Int 15, Wis 15, Dex 13, Con 14, Cha 13, AC 10, and 18 hp. She wears no armor, carries a +1 dagger, and also possesses a medallion of ESP with a 30’ range and a staff of com­mand with 11 charges remaining. When first encountered, she will be carrying the following spells: monster summoning I, clairvoyance, invisibility, locate object, read magic, detect magic, unseen servant, and sleep.

Mama finds it very amusing to act myste­rious around strangers. She will usually cast an unseen servant before introducing herself and use it in any way that will get a reaction from those watching her. Such tricks would include picking up items from the ground without reaching for them, or opening her wagon door without touching it.

She may approach one or more of the characters in the group, offering to read the cards for them. She performs card readings in her wagon late at night by candlelight, using her medallion of ESP to every advantage; the subject of a reading will be told whatever he wants to hear about the future, true or not. If her medallion fails to function, Mama will make appropriate and convincing excuses for why the reading did not work, and will either begin a reading anew or dismiss the subject on the pretense that “the cards are not right tonight.”

Mama’s wagon is arcanely decorated and contains many objects typically possessed by magic-users. Hidden in a locked chest beneath her bed is Mama’s spell book. In addition to the spells she presently carries, it also contains information on the casting of affect normal fires, friends, ventriloquism, detect invisibility, fool’s gold, forget, magic mouth, clairaudience, and fly. By using several of her spells in combination or in succession, it is possible for Mama to stage a very convincing (although fake) seance.
