'''Malus''' is a intelligent Undead, the master surgeon of the [[House of Healing]] and twisted follower of Shar. | '''Malus''' is a unique intelligent Undead, the master surgeon of the [[House of Healing]] and twisted follower of Shar. Having somehow kept his personality despite being in the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], he believes graceful pain and calculating mutilation are the key to truly embracing the ideals of his dark faith. At his depraved hospital, he tirelessly works to train his [[Undead]] Nurses to hone such skill, yet their hollowed state leaves them lacking in ability beyond being dutiful assistants. | ||
He plays a role in the quest [[Wake up Art Cullagh]], being an obstacle. | |||
{{SpoilerBox|Arriving at the [[House of Healing]] and gaining entry to the surgery theater, '''Malus''' will be busy educating his undead nurses on a poor 'patient'. While cordial at first seeing you as a new student, preaching his view of Absence being the way to understanding Shar. After mutilating the 'patient' he will urge to do the same to you. Beyond attacking to defend yourself, there are a mix of [[Skill Checks]] that can be done instead: | |||
*A [[Investigation]] of [[Difficult Class|DC]] 14 will lead to you pointing out the nurses aren't skilled enough for surgery. | |||
*A [[Religion]] of [[Difficult Class|DC]] 14 will let you use the ways of Shar to counter '''Malus''' own views. | |||
*A [[Persuasion]] of [[Difficult Class|DC]] 16 will suggest the nurses aren't ready and just make you sick instead of 'curing' you. | |||
If any of these checks are successful, Malus will ask how to train the nurses properly, leading to two differing [[Persuasion]] checks with a [[Difficult Class|DC]] 21. | |||
*Suggest that '''Malus''' offer himself up to be practiced on by the nurses, which he gleefully accepts. After a bloody scene, the nurses will become passive and master surgeon very much dead. | |||
*Convince '''Malus''' to have the Sisters test their skills against each other, leading to a bloody brawl between them. | |||
If the nurses were convinced to fight each other, the mad surgeon will press to tend to you next. He can be attacked, being much easier without his group of nurses supporting him. However, a final [[Persuasion]] check can be done at [[Difficult Class|DC]] 21, telling him you wish to do the procedure on yourself. Awed by your diligence, he will happily make an example of himself, stabbing and killing himself through the eye.}} | |||
