---[ Souls - the Currency of the Babau ]---
Babaus are messengers of the Blood Lords and are charged with going forth to
bring pain, torment, and blood to the material plane. If a Babau slays
an opponent player (NOT AN NPC!) in a fight, the Babau captures the soul
in their Soul Pouch. There, the Babau can keep watch on the souls. Once
the Babau has a being's soul, any further attempt to capture it will only
update the snapshot of the soul - no additional souls will be gained.
Many prayers of the Babau require as currency the souls of those being they
have captured. As such, the Babau is forced to stalk the land, slaying
everything in its path to keep its power at its fullest.
If a Babau dies to another player (NOT AN NPC!) the Babau's Soul Pouch
becomes momentarily open and souls begin to escape. The Babau will always
lose at least one captured soul but can lose as many as ALL souls if their
Lords are sufficiently displeased (there is a 50% chance for each additional
soul to be set free).
Babaus cannot capture the soul of another Babau.
