[Segunda Monstruosa #01] Minotauro Servo de Um Balor / Minotaur Servant of a Balor

[PORTUGUÊS]

Minotauros que escolhem seguir Baphomet e tomar parte em seus cultos e rituais constantemente ouvem sobre aqueles que foram abençoados pelo Rei Córneo. Alguns destes são presenteados por um Balor em nome de Baphomet. A natureza selvagem do minotauro é recompensada com o aspecto ígneo do balor, o que se manifesta como uma aura incendiária que emana de seu corpo. Alguns, os mais fervorosos servos na visão do balor, recebem chicotes e correntes de fogo. Com estas armas eles tomam responsabilidade em exercer a vontade de Baphomet através do mundo.

Sem Arrependimentos. Na medida que conquistam poder, estes minotauros se veem como as figuras centrais no culto. Responsáveis pelo progresso da agenda de seu lorde demônio, eles perdem a característica boa memoria para direções presente em sua espécie. Sem necessidade de sequer olhar para trás ou retornar para casa, seu objetivo se torna garantir que, não importa qual sejam no momento, os objetivos de Baphomet, transmitidos através do balor, sejam conquistados.

O Fogo Guia. Outros minotauros veem o servo de um balor como faróis e a figuras de liderança no campo. Geralmente, dois ou três deles acompanham o servo enquanto este realiza seu destino. Mais fortes que qualquer outro, os servos de um balor abraçam este papel e tentam garantir que os inimigos se mantenham próximos. Eles são explosivos em combate como qualquer outro minotauro, mas podem, quando necessário, proteger seu seguidores - seja puxando os adversários ou simplesmente os carbonizando.

[ENGLISH]

Minotaurs that choose to follow Baphomet and take part on its cults and rituals often hear of the few ones that were blessed by the Horned King. Some of those receive a gift of a balor demon on behalf of Baphomet. The savage nature of the minotaur's is rewarded with the fiery aspect of the balor, and manifests as a burning aura that emanates from its body. Some, the most fervent servants in the balor's view, are empowered with whips and chains of fire. With those weapons they take reponsability in exert Baphomet's will through the world.

No Regrets. As they grow in power, these minotaurs see themselves as central figures in the cult. Responsible for the progress of its demon lord's agenda, they loose the caracteristically good memory for direction spread across its kind. With no need to look back or ever return home, it's ultimate goal is to make sure that, whatever it is at the moment, Baphomet's plan, transmited by the Balor, are accomplished. The chaotic nature of the minotaur makes them well suited servants for that purpose.

The Guiding Fire. Other minotaurs see the sevants of a balor as beacons and the leading figures in the fields. Often, a couple or trio of them follow the servant as it accomplishes it's destiny. Stronger than any other, the servants of a balor embraces that role and make sure that enemies stay close to them. They are explosive in combat as any other minotaur, but can, when needed, protect it's followers - be it by pulling foes closer on simply burning them down.
