Role-Playing Darlakanand

Darlakanand is mad. Not "angry" mad, but deranged, crazed, unpredictable, lunatic, barking mad. On casting his first Time Stop, he screams at the PCs from his throne. He wants them to know what a genius he is. "Bringing all these magical principles together to enhance and magnify the domination! It takes a mind beyond supra-genius to do that!" The little Derro howls with mirth. "What you have done beyond this place only delays that. Delay, no more. We have a hundred kidnapped wizards arriving tomorrow, a thousand the next day, a hundred thousand the day after that - but you will not live to see anything beyond the first group of sacrifices!" The Time Stop is beginning to grow short, so the Derro now lays down his Ivory Goats and casts the first of his Monster Summoning spells. As the Time Stop expires, Darlakanand sits back on his throne, opens his Efreeti Bottle and commands the beautiful female Efreet (Shaharazar) who emerges to "kill them," then reclines with a manic smile to watch the PCs being pulverized. He uses his Maze and Power Word spells to make things more difficult for the PCs and then uses whatever spells he feels like using (as the DM chooses).
