INVISIBLE STALKERS: As previously noted (Book I) these are monsters created by level 6 spells, uttered directly or from scrolls. They are faultless trackers. They follow continually until their mission is accomplished at which time they return to the nondimension from whence they came. Until their mission is completed they will never vary, and must be destroyed by attack to be stopped, although a Dispel Magic spell will also work. The referee should note, however, that Invisible Stalkers resent missions which entail long periods of continuing service such as guarding a Magic-User for a month, a year, etc. They will then seek to fulfill the letter of their duties by perverting the spirit. For example: An Invisible Stalker is ordered to: “Guard me against all attack, and see that I come to no harm.” In order to faithfully fulfill this endless duty the Invisible Stalker will have to take the Magic-User to its non-dimensional plane and place him in suspended animation, and assume this is accomplished whenever a 12 is rolled with two six-sided dice, checking either daily or weekly as the campaign progresses.
INVISIBLE STALKERS: These monsters move about on the astral and ethereal planes, although those individuals therein are able to see the invisible stalkers dimly so they are more easily struck.
