Here's the next few chapters for Out of the Darkness.

Notes: The Feats Persuasive and Trustworthy are taken from Song and Silence and give Verdis Mov a +2 bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information and Intimidate (already included in the above stastics). If you don’t have that book, replace them with Skill focus. I suggest switching the Bracers of Armor +6 to a lower Bracers of Armor to bring Verdis Mov more into line with the equipment guidelines in the DMG.
Special Equipment: Bracers of Armor +6, Ring of Protection +2, and a Greatsword +2 that has somehow been made invisible permanently.

Chapter 3: Masks
Visage Medium-size undead (tanar’ri) CR 6 Medium-size undead HD 6d12 hp 60 Initiative +2 (Dex) Speed Fly 40 feet (perfect) AC 20 (+2 Dex, +8 natural) Attacks 2 claws +6 melee Damage claw 1d8+4 Face/Reach 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ft SA: Lucidity control, Domination, Assume Identity SQ DR 15/+1, SR 16, Turning Resistance +6, Elasticity, Immunities, Undead SV: Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +7 Str 16, Dex 14, Con -, Int 14, Wis 15, Cha 20 AL CE
Skills and Feats: Bluff +14, Concentration +13 Knowledge (any one)+6 Hide+10 Listen +6, Move Silently +10, Sense Motive +9, Spot +6, Wilderness Lore +7, Alertness, Fly-by Attack, Track, Weapon focus (claws)
Notes: Lucidity Control (Su): The visage employs a most unique and most lethal power called lucidity control. With this power, a visage can reach into the mind of any poor soul it sees and take total and utter control of what the person perceives. There is no initial saving throw against this power, but if a victim thinks he senses are being manipulated, he is allowed a Will Save (DC 18) to break the hold of the visage on him. This is why visages are subtle and tricky in their efforts of deception. The victim must continue to make the save each round to remain in control of his senses. Extremely lawful creatures, like modrons or even rogue modrons, are immune to this power, as is creatures immune to illusions. A true seeing spell will negate the effect of the lucidity control too.
Domination (Sp): Once per day, a visage may dominate one victim (as in the Dominate Person spell) as a 12th level sorceror. It cannot use its Lucidity Control power while dominating a victim, so visages sometimes travel in small tracks to make the most use of their powers.
Assume Identity (Su): A visage may steal the identity, the very soul essence of a person it kills. It temporarily gets his skills, languages, and feats, but not hit points, attack bonus, or other class features or ability scores. On the outside, a visage who took the likeness of a victim appears to be exactly alike the unfortunate soul. The visage has taken his soul, so there is also no way to bring the victim back from the dead. The sod can’t be reincarnated or become a petitioner either. This fate can only be avoided unless the visage that stole his essence is slain within one day. If the fiend keeps the victim’s identity for more than that time period, or the visage gives up its victims identity to assume another one, the victim’s soul is permanently destroyed with no hope of the person coming back to life, or the afterlife for that matter. A visage assuming a stolen identity can still make use of its Domination and Lucidity Control powers
Elasticity (Ex): Although it appears incorporeal, the visage is actually fully material. However, it can fold itself to fit into tiny places that normal humans could not fit in.
Immunities: A visage is immune to cold and holy water.
Undead: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease. Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage.

Blindsight (Ex): Tri-flower fronds have no visual organs but can ascertain all foes within 30 feet using sound, scent, and vibration.
Camouflage (Ex): Since the tri-flower frond looks like a normal plant when at rest, it takes a successful Spot check (DC 20) to notice it before it attacks. Anyone with Wilderness Lore or Knowledge (plants or herbs) can use those skills instead of Spot to notice the plant.
