Azaka Stormfang is a female Chultan human weretiger who works as a guide out of Port Nyanzaru. She conceals her lycanthropy from adventurers for as long as possible and offers to guide parties for free if they help her retrieve a stolen family heirloom from the pterafolk of Firefinger—a wooden tiger-face mask that is actually a mask of the beast.
Physical Description
Azaka stands 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 150 pounds. She has the ability to transform into tiger form, in which she has wandered extensively through the Chultan jungle.
Personality & Limitations
- Acrophobic: Azaka is afraid of heights and will not willingly put herself in situations where she could fall more than 60 feet. Her lycanthropic damage immunities do not protect against falling damage.
- Responsible lycanthrope: She will not willingly spread her lycanthropic curse to others.
- Determined: If characters refuse to attack Firefinger to retrieve her mask, she leaves their service in disgust.
Knowledge & Connections
Azaka is well-traveled and acquainted with Saja N’baza, the guardian naga of Orolunga. She gladly leads characters to the naga if they seek guidance.
The Firefinger Quest
Azaka insists that any party she guides attack the pterafolk of Firefinger to retrieve her stolen mask. She suggests waiting until nightfall or rain to approach. If accompanying the party to Firefinger’s pinnacle (300 feet high), she significantly swings combat in the party’s favor against the pterafolk, including their leader Nrak.
Her stolen mask is found inside the tower at Firefinger’s pinnacle, wrapped in cloth inside one of four moldy wooden chests. She claims it immediately upon recovery.
