Blackened Smith




A dark fey artisan’s strongest tool and favored weapon a blackened smith is blacksmithing hammer made from the fragments of a vainglory and the wood of a deadwood tree. Arcane power visibly ripples across its head, and every time it strikes miniature sparks of lighting sizzle from the point of impact.

Craftman’s Friend. A blackened smith can move and work on its own, and often does. However, when taken in hand by a fey craftsman it allows them to not only shape metal but bind the magic of the Waning Court to their work. Fashioning a blackened smith moves a waning fey from journeyman to master.

Lingering Skill. After being slain most of the once-enchanted hammer remains, including some of its magic. While it can no longer channel lighting or be used as an effective weapon it greatly aids in the construction of magic items. Sometimes a mortal tricks a fey artisan out of an blackened smith, which also disenchants the hammer. These lucky souls often go on to grow a fortune from the wears they produce. However, the bamboozled fey often seeks to repair its honor, with lethal results. A ‘dead’ blackened smith grants advantage on tool skill checks where it might apply.

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.
