Tirolius' trusted companion is Splinter, a small wooden, dog-shaped construct that bonded with Tirolius in Flupnir's Tower and is now completely loyal to and commanded by Tirolius.

Hideous Laughter (Su) Splinter's bite is infused with the whimsy of Flupnir, and any foe that takes damage from its bite is also subject to the effects of a hideous laughter spell (DC 13) as if from a 7th level caster.

Magic Immunity (Ex) Splinter is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below.

Fire spells cause half damage.

A warp wood spell acts as a slow spell upon Splinter for 2D6 rounds.

A wood shape spell negates the slow effect of a warp wood spell and repairs 2 hit points of damage.

 

Tirolius was born in 5486 and joined the Heroes when Eracuss sought to hire mercenaries to help the Heroes combat the forces of the cambion Nangir, who was master of the final Flupnir Tower. Tirolius performed so bravely and well in the combat that he was promoted to henchman of Korvar the Warpriest. He then, along with Terraf and Thalonn the Brave, served throughout the Quest of the Gem. While in Flupnir's Tower on the Lost Isle, Tirolius met and befriended his lifelong companion Splinter, the doll golem. By Flupnir's grace, the golem has bonded with the charismatic Tirolius and the two are now famously paired and rarely separated in combat. Tirolius also wielded the Flupnirian weapon Changeling for quite some time before giving it over to the Scion of Orcus in his final battle against Demogorgon.

Tirolius is tall and quite handsome, with a soft-spoken manner and a devastating smile. He is a loyal soldier who takes adversity in stride and he admires Korvar more than any other person in the world and willingly serves as his cohort and right hand. Tirolius is responsible for the military affairs of Korvar's Canton and is also a general in the united forces of Slumber.
