Before Combat Joresk prefers to send out his kobold hunters to do his fighting for him, but if that is not possible, Joresk will cast Mage Armor and Resistance on himself. Without these cast, Joresk has AC 14, flat-footed 12, Fort +2, Ref +3, Will +4
During Combat Joresk will try to blind the threat with the largest weapon. If any spell caster tries to heal someone that his hunters have already hurt, he’ll try to deafen them. Joresk also likes to use Bungle on anything that gets into melee range of him.
Morale Joresk will jump off his cliff and use his wings to glide to safety if his two lieutenants are brought down, or if he takes more than 12 damage.

Treasure Tomes concerning the Demon Lord Kabriri, maps of Pelisthyxl’s hold.
In the Sphinx River delta in Osirian, the Rotted Flesh tribe of kobolds have long served as slaves and worshippers of the Black Ravener Pelisthyxl, king of the swamp. Only a select few kobolds could even enter the undead dragon’s lair. Unfortunately, for the Rotted Flesh, a group of legendarily powerful adventurers, led by the Sarenrite Paladin Tomaq ibn Horrith, defeated and destroyed Pelisthyxl more than 50 years ago, though no one has seen any of the adventurers since their climatic battle.
Since then, only the chieftain of the Rotted Flesh Tribe has learned the truth, that their great god is no more. Joresk is the latest tribal leader. Staked out in a heavily trapped network of tunnels on a cliff face a few miles from Pelisthyxl’s lair. Joresk’s people have finally noticed that its been too long since Pelisthyxl’s last rampage, and it has fallen on Joresk to convince them that their tribal patron still lives. His current story is that Pelisthyxl has returned to the Everglut, the home of Pelishthyxl’s favored deity, Kabriri. Perhaps suprisingly, Joresk has one of the most extensive libraries on Kabriri, at least on Golarion’s surface.
More than one Sarenrite crusade has been launched to retrieve Tomaq’s intelligent bastard sword, Rough Pyter. Joresk’s maps of Pelisthyxl’s hold could come in handy.
