Tactics

Before Combat The cleric casts magic circle against good and magic vestment.

During Combat The cleric drinks a potion of invisibility, then uses summon monster V and summon monster IV to overwhelm opponents, and attacks with flame strike, casting righteous might before entering melee.

Base Statistics Without magic circle against good and magic vestment, the cleric's statistics are

AC 20, touch 10, flat-footed 20.

The mother of beasts serves the goddess of madness and monsters. She looks after horrible creatures and summons extraplanar beings to defend herself and her pets.

Empiri Chalemede

Empiri raises and nurtures hybrid monsters and aberrant mutations. Though she lacks the magic to create these oddities, she values anyone skilled at such things.

Combat Encounters

Empiri is most effective when she has monsters to protect her. Without allies, she uses summon monster spells to conjure guardians.

Roleplaying Suggestions

Empiri might ask the PCs to help her catch a predatory beast—though not to destroy it.
