Small even for a halfling, the bloodspeaker is twisted of limb and stunted of form.  Bulging eyes the color of dried blood peer out from a face like molten wax.  The ritualistic burn scars marring his flesh look painful beyond the most grotesque of imaginings.  The bloodspeaker wears heavy robes of red velvet that do little to conceal the broken-puppet jangle of his misshapen body beneath them.  His tongue is bisected and lolls forth from a mouth that looks like a wet gash in his obscene face.

Hunting Strategies

General Advice

• Warding casters will have more success against this creature with a high TD if they cast dispelling magic upon it first.
• SMR-based attacks like Condemn (309), Earthen Fury (917), and Spike Thorn (616) frequently tear through bloodspeakers. Animal companions can also do significant damage.
• Silencing tactics like Cutthroat and Sucker Punch, or the similar Corrupt Essence (703), will halt their threatening Wither (1115) spell. (Silence (210) itself is unlikely to hit barring an unusual build heavily focused on Major Spiritual ranks.)
