Alluvium Slime Breaker




Now a slime in the shape of a human an alluvium looks like it should fall apart at any moment. Beneath translucent skin a few connecting strands of grey muscle amid sea glass colored bones flex and twitch whenever the thing moves. Bloodshot eyes are held in place by piercing bone spurs with a thin film of ooze over them to keep from drying out. Intestines writhe below the organs like an agitated jellyfish. The rest of the semi-solid gel where meat once was resembles murky water. Patches of cilia sprout from the surface on the creature’s shoulders and sides, drinking in strange sensory data.


Shock troops for the alluvium, slime breakers make surprisingly little noise as they move despite being encased in full plate armor. The alchemically treated plates smoothly glide against one another, constantly greased by the anathema’s secretions. Some sections of the protection are replaced with plates of a sea-glass like gristle bestowed by an eldritch coagulant. The massive blade the slime breaker carries is crafted from the same grisly material. Not a trace of the soldier’s skin, or lack thereof, is exposed.


Sinkhole. At the center of a slime breaker's congealed core floats a shard of an eldritch coagulant's alien plasmoid. This necrotic font not only bolsters the shock troop's strength, but it also leeches off any mystical healing nearby. While this theft doesn't dampen the effectiveness of such spells foes quickly discover that healing their companions likewise stitches the slime breaker back together. Likewise, an alluvium colony will sometimes contract clerics during times of war, turning a squad of slime breakers into a truly frightening, relentless indeed.


Seaglass Blade. Constructed from an eldritch coagulant's foul 'skin' this greatsword appears to be made out of blue-green sea glass while being as hard as steel. However, light doesn't properly refract through the weapon as one might expect. Instead, the elegant weapon is filled with sediment. Within the cloudy mixture writhes an amorphous blot; an ensorcelled grey ooze. Whenever the slime breaker inflicts grievous harm on an enemy or slays it outright, a portion of the ooze weeps from the weapon and feeds off of the agony becoming a new creature.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...

Piecemeal

Eveyrone should be free to live as they want and die as terribly as they can. This is the creed that the strange collection of bodyparts known as Piecemeal holds. Originally, it was a trio of kobolds who attempted a 'ritual' of their own design meant to grant immortality. Instead, it tore the three creatures into pieces that forgot how to die. The mass went quite mad and seeks to free other body parts from the 'bondage' of well, being part of a body. Travelling as three kobolds in a trenchcoat, Piecemeal wages a brutal war against 'slave owners' (IE anything with a body) and adds new parts to its collectiona as needed to keep the revolution going. Over time little of the kobolds remain, but it still rambles about in a trenchcoat spouting its made philosophy.
