Binder Demon Grimoire

PATTALUS

Demon of Tracking

Alignment / Host: N/L

Rank: Earl

Lord No. 294

Sex: m

DL = 25

Appears as a trollish man with a dog's head having two faces (on the front and back of the head) crouched on the ground, which He carefully scans with his clawed hands as He sniffs all around with both snouts.  If He picks up any interesting trail, He will howl with both throats in unison.

In Circle:

  1. Will teach any Participant the Restricted Thievish Activity Track, irrespective of whether he is a Thief or a Scout.
  2. Will teach any Participant the Restricted Thievish Activity Cover Tracks, irrespective of whether he is a Thief or a Scout.
  3. Will tell where any trail leads that has not been obscured with DL >= 1 on Cover Tracks or by DL >= 10 of weather effects.  PATTALUS must either be Summoned on the trail or it must be described unambiguously to Him (some physical evidence from the trail is best or He may decline to answer as the question is ambiguous or may describe another trail).

In Triangle:

  1. Will teach any one Participant how to track (gives the equivalent of a +1 Experience Plus on the Restricted Thievish Activity Track if already learned, but without the equivalent Th Experience), irrespective of whether he is a Thief.  This Favour will only be granted once per Session, and not if the Minor Favour in 1. in the Circle above has previously been granted.
  2. Will teach any one Participant how to cover tracks (gives the equivalent of a +1 Experience Plus on the Restricted Thievish Activity Cover Tracks if already learned, but without the equivalent Th Experience), irrespective of whether he is a Thief.  This Favour will only be granted once per Session, and not if the Minor Favour in 1. in the Circle above has previously been granted.
  3. Will tell where any trail leads that has not been magically obscured (e.g. by a Magical Spell or Effect, by DL >= 10 on Cover Tracks or by a Pact with PATTALUS or another Demon).
  4. Pact: will teach Track or Cover Tracks to the equivalent of Experience Pluses of >= 1, depending on the price paid (but without the equivalent Th Experience).
  5. Pact: will magically obscure any trail with DL >= 10, depending on the price paid.
  6. Pact: will tell where a trail leads that has been magically obscured magically obscured (whether by a Pact with PATTALUS or otherwise) with DL >= 10, depending on the price paid.

Familiars:

Bloodhounds or orc sniffer dogs

Notes:

  1. Where a trail leads is not necessarily the same as the current location of the Being that left it.  PATTALUS is notoriously tricky to pin down on the issue, but seems to consider a trail to be that which was left on a particular journey from point "A" to point "B", which may be for more than a day.
  2. A break of a day or more en route may break the trail, and the Operator may need to visit the scene in order to pick up the fresh trail to describe it to PATTALUS.
  3. PATTALUS will only tell where a partially obscured trail leads up to the next point it is obscured after the point described to Him.
  4. PATTALUS can follow a trail back where it came from as well as where it went.  So a trail may be considered to "lead" in both directions.  Each is a separate use of the relevant Power.  If not specified, He will assume the Operator is asking where it went.
