Mazrim Taim
What:
Mazrim Taim is one of the major/minor characters in the later
books. He is first mentioned in passing as a false Dragon in Saldea. When
Rand anounces amnesty for male channelers, he arrives in Caemlyn, and is soon
made M'Hael (leader, his own idea) of the Asha'man, a group of mcs gathered
together on a farm in Andor. It is not long before he begins implementing his
own take on Rand's instructions, including naming himself M'Hael. He is, therefore,
the only place where a male channeler may practice weaves in WoTMUD.
Where:
Taim wanders all over. He ports from place to place after a
short stay in a zone. I have seen him in Caemlyn, the Plains of Altara, the
Lugard Tower, and the Kennel. I have
also heard that he was put down by the Tower within the walls of Tar Valon itself.
He goes all over, and is one of, if not the most often done, dodge smobs.
Group Size:
?? (I once saw him done with 15 dogs {now illegal} and
two {including me} players. We also did him in Caemlyn with over ten people.)
How:
Well, now that buying a ton of dogs to take his 'Incinerates' is
illegal, about the only option is the one I mentioned above. Have one person
remove everything, and drop it ('Incinerate' burns it ALL up). That person is
the buffer, and will probably die. Taim channels primarily 'Blind' and 'Incinerate'.
With a large enough group, and a few channies to hurt him fast and hard, he is
simple, and no one should die. Hopefully. WARNING: Taim
is considered a player, and if you die, you sit in the Circle of Light for 15
minutes. If he incenerates you, it will destroy most of what you were carrying.
Loot:
Mazrim Taim loads (sometimes) a Silver Medallion (not sure,
dodge trinket?), Eagle Medallion (protects vs fcs?) an Ivy Bracelet (dodge),
and a couple Gold Crowns, a Bronze Belt (belt {raises dodge by 2}), and a
Jade Carving of an Old Man (male Angreal).
