Lothar
(In The Cage: A Guide To Sigil):

The Bones of the Night

The Guvners have reams of knowledge, of laws and regulations in their carefully organized archives and repositories of dead wood and papyrus. The Bones of the Night is also a font of knowledge, but one far less organized and less regulated - this is where thieves, wizards, and knights of the cross-trade come to learn from the dead.

The Bones of the Night is a cavern complex among the catacombs near the Ditch in the foulest-smelling region of the prodigiously odorous Lower Ward. The entrance is a gaping hole that fills an entire firegutted building; a ladder with rungs of bone leads down into the obsidian darkness. The chittering of rats can always be heard from the top of the ladder, though it fades whenever someone climbs down to the entrance salon.

The salon is richly decorated with the grave goods of a hundred thousand wealthy deaders: plush chairs, thick layers of tapestries, and burial shrouds. Officially, every tout who’s asked the Master of the Bones for permission to lead the curious on a brief tour has been turned down, but in fact the wererat servants often look the other way for a little garnish, or help the tout for a little more. In return, they lead the lucky visitors on a quick, chittering walk through the catacombs to the Chamber of the Reaper, where the bones of the dead decorate the walls and ceiling in elaborate patterns. The Master of the Bones usually animates one of the skulls to scare off the trespassers.

The Master of the Bones is Lothar the Old (Pl/male human/P25/Free League/N), a feeble-looking bearded man with a face full of wrinkles and a mind full of secrets. Called simply Master by his servants and many of his visitors, stones say that he is too wise for death to come near him, though others say that he has already foretold his own death, which will come through a gift given to him by a loved one.

When a supplicant comes to him with a question, Lothar negotiates his fee, then goes to gather the answer by consulting his library of skulls. After all, the dead are experienced, knowledgeable, and unable to lie. Factols, master thieves, mummies, and the master of the stonemasons’ guild compose but a fraction of his collection; the king of the rag-pickers, a sane slaad, and a true tanar’ri are also prizes on his shelves. What most cutters don’t realize is that the Master of the Bones is a necromancer-priest who uses the nature of the questions asked as a source of information for himself.

When he’s presented with a skull by one of the resurrection men who sometimes bring him their most important finds, Master Lothar offers what he considers a fair price - after all, few others have the skill to use the skulls as anything but paperweights. Prices vary from 1 gp for a wise servant with a single valuable story to tell to 10,000 gp for a factol’s skull taken from the mausoleums and crypts beneath the faction headquarters. Chant is, the Master of Bones is currently looking for the skulls of Shekelor, who defied the Lady of Pain, and Imendor, the last priest of Aoskar, who knew the plans of his god (and died for them).

The Master is hardly alone in his catacombs. His best assistants are wererats, on loan from Tattershade, the King of the Rats, who gains valuable information in exchange for the loan of his servants. The rats scurry off into the catacombs in search of particular bones when a question requires more specific information than his library can provide.

The entire complex is guarded by a powerful stone golem shaped into the form of an enormous ghoul, complete with sharp claws and flickering black tongue. This golem stands constant guard over the Master’s library of skulls and his new acquisitions. An eldritch fire in its heart animates it; some say that when the Master dies, the fire will go out as well. Until then, the golem is justly famous for stopping thieves and expelling rude guests. No one has given it the laugh, at least not yet.

Stone Golem:
AC: 5, MV: 6, HD: 14, hp: 50, THAC0: 7, #AT: 1, Dmg: 3d8, SD: hit only by +2 or better weapons, SZ: L (9’ tall), ML: fearless (20), Int: non (0); AL: N, XP: 8,000.

Master Lothar is trying a new experiment: creating a magical spigot that he hopes to install in corpses to drain a knowledge potion from each. By imbibing these draughts, he hopes to gain even greater wisdom.

部分翻釋:(有錯請指教,感恩)
1.面對希望一睹骸骨大師(即Lothar)廳房的入侵者(一般是Lothar的半鼠人部下帶那些人進來的),
他通常會喚醒牆上的其中一個頭骨來嚇走他們(據文中所寫似乎並非無名氏跟Lothar交易的地方)。

2.Lothar這位長著山羊鬍子的老人外表看來很衰弱,有著滿臉的皺紋跟滿腹的經論。他的下僕跟許多來訪的
人都稱呼他大師。

3.有一說認為他的智慧深厚得連死亡也無法靠近他,儘管有另一說他已經預言到他的死亡為由他所愛的人所送來的
禮物。(後半部極不肯定有沒有錯)

4.他收藏的頭骨都是臥虎藏龍的一群頭骨:盜賊\大師、秩序兄弟會(The Fraternity of Order,即 Guvners)
的高層人士和石匠行會的大師等。而部分頭骨更是他的珍品:拾荒者的君王、明智的Slaad(D&D的一個種族)
和忠誠\的塔那里人(即失寵的種族,這裡的 true tana'ri 似乎亦可譯成真正的塔那里人,因前兩個頭骨都
似乎是有著相反的特徵故作忠誠\譯)

5.大部份的人不知道Lothar是以求問者的問題的本質(nature,不肯定該譯作類別或是本質)作為他知識的來源。

6.有謠言說Lothar正在尋找因公然對抗痛苦女士而死的Shekelor和最後一位信奉Aoskar神的Imendor(他知道Aoskar的計劃
和為此而喪命)的頭骨。

7.Lothar正在嘗試造出一個魔法水龍頭用來把死人生前的知識以藥水狀抽取出來,用以獲得更高深的知識。

没记错的话
true tanar’ri和忠实与否没关系
true tanar’ri指真正的高等塔那厘恶魔(巴洛魔迷诱魔六臂蛇魔狂战魔判魂魔弗洛魔)
二版时代true tanar’r极端稀有
比如崔黑三里的巴洛魔厄图,整个多元宇宙好像只有二十来个?
