Names of Skexin

Silz the Negotiator: Spell Mimicry. Immediately after a creature that Chamberlin Skexin can see casts a spell of 5th level or lower, they triy to copy the spell. That creature must succeed on a DC 19 Charisma saving throw, or Chamberlin Skexin immediately casts the same spell at the same level (+11 to hit with spell attacks, spell save DC 19), requiring no material components and choosing the spell’s targets.

If triggered by competing, Silz chooses one of his own spells of 5th level or lower to cast without using a spell slot.

Soze the General: Wide Berth. Chamberlain Skexin moves up to half his speed and can move through the space of any creature of size large or smaller. The first time he enters a creature's space during this move, the creature must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw. If the saving throw succeeds, the creature is pushed 5 feet away. If the saving throw fails, that creature is knocked prone, and Chamberlain Skexin can make a melee attack against it.

The creature must make a DC 18 Charisma saving throw or be momentarily possessed by Skexin. The creature is incapacitated until the start of its next turn and Skexin throws the magic item on the ground where he disappeared from and then leaves the creature, reappearing over the tossed item.

If triggered by competing, Shoz will try to take the easiest magic item he can access, often a magic weapon being held by the creature.
