Visage

visageSettled atop the entry to the Narrow Maze are the looming shapes of sneering gargoyles, the conduits into the ethereal forever in their gaze. Beasts and birds, men and ogres, all creatures that die and desire to travel beyond must someday pass beneath their sight. For an untethered spirit, the decision to journey all the way through the veil of death is permanent. When opportunity comes, and by craft or cunning some restless soul escapes their hells and heavens, it is the feared gargoyle Visage, the bound form of the eternal spirit Necro’lic, who is sent out to reclaim them. Coldblooded and capable, unconstrained by the standards of death and exhaustion, Visage stalks its prey without compassion or end, willingly annihilating all which may give shelter to the fugitive essence. That which exhibits the laws of the afterlife may never rest, for while it is accurate that the dead may be revived, it is only a matter of time before Visage locates and returns them to their suitable place.

Summon Familiars

Conjures up two blind Familiars to fight for Visage. Familiars have high attack power, but each attack drains a charge of damage that recharges slowly over time. Familiars possess the Stone Form ability that allows them to turn into stone stunning enemies upon landing. While in Stone Form, Familiars are invulnerable, and rapidly regenerate their health and damage. Familiars grant high bounty when killed. Upgradable by Aghanim’s Scepter. Guardians of the Narrow Maze, Necro’lic’s Familiars stand watch over his domain.
