Wyspr, my druid, had finished level 1 of Covetous and heading to level 3 when he and his dragon ran into a very powerful liz. This thing nearly killed the dragon 3 times. Wyspr finally gave up and msg'd Covenant Atei. Covenenant agreed to assist and between the two of us, our summoned helpers and Flaym, the dragon, we were able to put it down.
Covenant remarked it seemed to be a "Royal" strain of lizardman.
Thanks to Covenant!
And here I was talking about expecting the unexpected. hoo boy.
