At the table

“I can tell you what the filed copy says. The original is a different question.”
From how they speak

Voice

Her voice has a dry, even grain, like paper drawn across a survey table. Years of reading claims aloud have trained her to give every clause a clean edge. When angered, she speaks with greater precision and lets the hard consonants carry the threat.

Sazra speaks in compact, carefully qualified sentences, shaped by years of turning survey measurements into claims. Her work has left her fluent in procedural phrases and unusually alert to the difference between a filed copy and an original record.

Speech patterns

Frames demands as choices between outcomes: 'You may dispute the schedule, or you may keep the pumps running while we do it.'
Uses precise terms such as 'recorded,' 'recognized,' and 'eligible' to avoid saying what she believes.
Repeats an opponent's strongest point before explaining why it cannot change the present claim.
When pressed about the archive, says: 'I can tell you what the filed copy says. The original is a different question.'

How to play them

Begin with professional courtesy and a concrete offer. Sazra listens closely for what the other party needs, then turns that need into a narrowly worded agreement. She will respect a well-supported argument, but she tests whether people will accept a compromise that protects the claimholders. Mentioning the original archival page visibly unsettles her; persistence can make her offer information, access, or money in exchange for dropping the matter.

Goal

Keep the K-12 water claim intact while arranging a settlement that prevents the dispute from reaching the original archive.

Motivation

Sazra wants to preserve order and water access, but she also wants to prove that the compromises she made after Dry Stair prevented a worse disaster.

Secret · GM only

Appearance

Sazra has a way of taking up a room without raising her voice. She stands squarely in doorways and leaves others to decide whether to ask her to move. Her skin is the warm brown of fired clay, with a fine dusting of pale mineral powder caught at her temples from years among survey archives. Her hair is black, tightly coiled, and drawn into a narrow, immaculate braid that lies against her collar. Her dark amber eyes seem to measure distances, exits, and the price of every pause. An unexpected detail for a cartel envoy: she keeps a tiny, carefully tended sprig of watermint in a glass tube inside her lapel, and smells faintly of crushed leaves when she leans close. She moves with the exact, economical turns of someone accustomed to making a crowded hearing room yield space.

Clothing

Crisp dark teal travel coat with reinforced silk lining, fitted vest, clean gloves, polished boots, and a narrow brass clasp stamped with the K-12 survey designation. Her fine clothes are kept conspicuously free of mud, though the hems show careful repair.

Body language

She plants both feet as if marking the limits of a claim, and her shoulders stay level even when the room grows hostile. Her hands make small, precise corrections to cuffs, papers, and other people's assumptions. When someone mentions the original archival page, her thumb presses hard against the glass tube holding her watermint.

Distinguishing features

Takes up doorways and negotiation tables as if she were establishing a boundary line.
A glass lapel tube holds one fresh sprig of watermint, an unexpectedly tender possession for a corporate envoy.
Her gloved fingertips are faintly stained with blue survey ink, despite the rest of her appearance being immaculate.

Personality

12 traits and drives

Sazra is controlled in public and surprisingly candid in private, yet she can be both genuinely attentive to ordinary needs and ruthless about making those needs fit a contract. When rested, she listens before speaking; when cornered, she becomes more exact, not louder. She can show a flash of dry humor with people who understand the work, then shut it away when a negotiation turns serious.

Alignment
Lawful Evil

Quirks

Counts the chairs in a room before taking her own seat.
Turns a glass of water so its meniscus sits exactly level before a negotiation.
Keeps one watermint leaf pressed flat inside her travel papers.
When waiting, silently mouths the names of the people listed on a document.
Uses her calipers to measure the gap between two objects when an argument becomes circular.

Habits

Counts the number of people present before she begins negotiating, then subtly positions herself where everyone can see her.
Offers a practical concession early, making it harder for the other side to reject her later terms without seeming unreasonable.
When someone mentions the deepest archive, she glances toward the nearest exit before answering.
After a difficult meeting, she checks the watermint sprig and replaces any bruised leaf.

Traits · 3

She notices practical needs quickly, then instinctively calculates how those needs can be converted into leverage.
She believes an imperfect agreement can save lives, though she rarely asks who keeps paying for its imperfections.
She is composed under accusation but visibly uneasy when asked to produce an original record.

Flaws · 3

She treats moral objections as complications to be managed rather than reasons to change course.
She is anxious around the deepest archive and becomes evasive when asked to produce original records.
Her confidence in procedure makes her underestimate people who will accept personal danger to expose a lie.

Fears · 3

That the original archival page will prove her current claim indefensible.
That public exposure will make the affected households see her only as the person who kept their water from them.
That her careful compromises are merely another way of making harm look orderly.

Wants and needs · 3

Wants the K-12 claim recognized without public exposure of its disputed origin.
Needs to learn whether the original archival page is authentic.
Needs someone she trusts to tell her whether her compromises have protected anyone beyond the claimholders.

Combat

AC 14 · HP 65 · 30 ft.

Sazra tries to keep an ally close enough to shield her while she uses the needle gun to slow pursuers and the Lockdown to break an opposing group's momentum. She spends Bury the Claim to move guards between herself and evidence-holders. If her protection collapses, she retreats toward a defensible doorway and bargains for time rather than fighting to the death.

High-Bureaucracy Cipher
Unshakeable Legalese (custom): Sazra has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. Magic that would compel her to speak truthfully does not force a confession; instead, she may make a Charisma saving throw against the caster's spell save DC, speaking only what she can plausibly frame as true on a success.
Corporate Indemnity (custom): While a conscious ally is within 5 feet of Sazra, attack rolls against her have disadvantage as the ally intercepts, blocks, or disrupts the attack. This ends if she has no such ally nearby.
Spellcasting (custom warlock magic): Charisma is her spellcasting ability (spell save , to hit with spell attacks). She requires no material components for her custom psychic mandate effects.

Spells

Bureaucratic Lockdown (custom) (level 2, enchantment). Custom spell-like effect used through her Bureaucratic Lockdown action. It deals psychic damage and can stun as described in that action; it is not a standard spell.

Actions

Multiattack. Sazra makes two Quick-Draw Needle Gun attacks.
Quick-Draw Needle Gun. Ranged Weapon Attack: to hit, range 30/90 ft., one target. Hit: 6 () piercing damage plus 7 () poison damage. The target's speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of Sazra's next turn.
Bureaucratic Lockdown. Recharge 5–6. Sazra delivers a legally phrased ultimatum infused with custom psychic pressure. Up to three creatures of her choice within 30 feet that can hear her must make a Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 14 () psychic damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, it takes half damage and is not stunned. A creature that cannot understand her words has advantage on the save.
Bury the Claim. Three times per day, Sazra orders up to two allied creatures within 60 feet to move up to their speed without provoking opportunity attacks, or to use their reactions to attempt to grapple a creature holding a document or other evidence.

Reactions

Corporate Indemnity. When a creature Sazra can see targets her with an attack and a conscious ally is within 5 feet of her, Sazra calls the ally into the line of attack. The attack roll is made with disadvantage. This custom reaction cannot be used if Sazra is incapacitated.

Services they sell

Can negotiate K-12 compensation, water access, or a temporary route authorization.
Can interpret technical claim language and explain how a hearing procedure works.
Can arrange a discreet introduction to a K-12 records clerk.

Rewards they can give

A signed K-12 travel authorization that may open restricted water-route checkpoints.
A negotiated payment or water allotment, depending on the party's leverage.
If convinced to cooperate, access to her partial copy of the archival page.

Equipment

  • Armored silk coat (armor)Concealed armored silk beneath her tailored coat, providing protection without a visible breastplate.
  • Quick-Draw Needle Gun (weapon)Compact spring-loaded needle pistol, custom equipment; its toxin is a paralytic irritant rather than a magical effect.
  • Watermint keepsake (personal item)A sealed tube with a watermint sprig, carefully replaced whenever it wilts.
  • Claim documents and calipers (tools)K-12 claim credentials, folded hearing notices, and a set of precise measuring calipers.
  • Needle toxin (ammunition)A stoppered vial of paralytic toxin for the needle gun.

Background

Sazra Ktakk grew up in a rented room above a water-measuring office, where her mother copied claims and her father repaired cracked ceramic gauges. She learned early that a number written in the right hand could decide whose cistern ran dry. Her first position with the K-12 Claimholders was ordinary clerical work: comparing water allotments against survey marks and finding discrepancies before hearings. During the Dry Stair dispute, she presented a technically correct report that protected the cartel's claim but left a cluster of households without water through a punishing heat season. One child died. Sazra still remembers the rasp of an empty pump handle and the taste of grit in the communal well. The experience did not make her kinder; it made her believe that uncontrolled truth can cause more immediate harm than a managed settlement. She rose by mastering procedural language, then became the K-12 envoy tasked with keeping compensation low and its water claim secure. She is currently resisting calls to retrieve an original archival page from the deepest vaults, while trying to secure a settlement before the claim dispute reaches a public hearing.

Role in the story

A formidable representative of corporate water interests whose procedural confidence conceals a growing fear that the original record will invalidate the claim she was sent to defend. She can be an antagonist, a transactional ally, or a source of evidence.

“She learned early that a number written in the right hand could decide whose cistern ran dry.”
