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.

Knave of Knights

Bound to the Cavalcade of the King of Fools , this fallen angels wears a mockup of platemail armor crafted from bright pressed velvet and knitted wool but his weapons are nevertheless quite real. Said weapons are a whip crafted from liars's tongues and a lance of hell iron he wields as if it was made from driftwood. The stub of burnt wings jut from his back with multi-colored streamers dangling from the charred bones. The Knave of Knights fell in with the Cavalcade when he vowed to defend a rightful king's right to rule, only to find out that the sire he fell in with was a bastard usurper who had successfully taken his brother's place. Cursed and broken mentally by the deception, he was easily felled by the King of Fools and given a new place at the archdevil's side serving as his jester and favored knight all wrapped into one.

The Black Lady

The Black Lady claims to be the The King of Fools' concubine and takes pride in the title despite how other devils look down on her and the rest of the cavalcade for it. She adores the 'silly' archdevil to no end and works tirelessly to ensure that the devils beneath him show the properly courtly respect that her lord is due... if he is around. Otherwise, she focuses more on vicious gossip, violent fetes, and malicious matchmaking. Pitch black in skin with burning red eyes, the Black Lady's legs end in smolding pig hooves while long, curled horns poke from her ebony coiffure. She wears a variety of overy fancy dresses that are always stripped, monochrome, and risque. One accessory she is never without is an enchanted fan made from burnt angel feathers. This fan is as sharp as any demon's claws and will always return to her hand. The Black Lady Medium Fiend (devil), lawful evil Armor Class 22 (natural armor) Hit Points...

Crackle

A singular being, Crackle is a bolt of lightning given sentience after hiting a monk meditating atop the mountain. In fact, it believes it is that very monk reincarbated from a smoldering husk instead of the force which killed it. Crackle takes on a humanoid shape, chaning its lighting to appear to have skin and clothing. However, ripples of electricity constantly wiggle along its form. Often times its hair, clothing, and arms will clip through one another for Crackle is an imperfect copy. Crackle travels about, driven by a strong sense of law if not justice. It has a hard time empathizing with other points of view than the one it adopted and flies into a rage when pressed on its true nature.
