Hob Mob (Swarm)




A collection of pointed caps, gossamer clothes, and dour faces the rabble of tiny fey doesn’t strike most as intimidating at first. In fact, the collection usually stays out of sight as they do small favors for a family or community that offers them the proper gifts and respect. A motley of genders, colors, and shapes the hobs all claim to be part of the same family. Most are a light red, brown, or green skin hue and have some exaggerated features such as oversized noses or eyes. Despite their misshapen and often comical appearances, every hob considers themselves the pinnacle of beauty.

Proud Crofters. Once the mob feels their honor slighted or assistance unappreciated they become methodically vicious in making their displeasure known. Usually, this starts with minor vandalism; items once repaired turn up broken, and local animals display distress or go missing altogether after being driven off by the fey. If the locals ignore these warnings or refuse to make amends then the tiny pitchforks, torches, hammers, and saws come out. The hob mob attacks lone people at first, then terrorize families, before rampaging throughout the area.

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.
