Nested Doll




A golem constructed from a deadwood tree and invested with strange enchantments a nested doll looks like a large child’s toy at first glance. The fey artisans of the waning court often paint the constructs to look like they are wearing garish clothes, with rosy cheeks and cherubic eyes. The paint cleverly camouflages numerous hole clusters where direflies linger. Nested dolls alternate between shock troop and toys for those twisted nobility.

Widdle Down. Regulated by the baffling natural laws of the Feywild the doll has the ability to split into smaller versions of itself whenever it suffers excessive damage. These new dolls appear hale and ready for continued combat. Likewise, they can split further still, compounding the peril a foe finds themselves in. Once separated a nesting doll’s parts cannot come back together.

Cloud of Direflies(Recharge 6).

The nested doll creates a 20 ft radius sphere of direflies centered on it. This sphere spreads around corners and its area is heavily obscured. Creatures who begin their turn within the sphere must make a DC 15 Charisma Save or take 10(3d6) psychic damage and gain Disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of its turn. On success, a creature takes half damage and does not have disadvantage.

Reactions

Split.

When a Nested Doll that is Medium or larger is subjected to thunder damage or a critical hit, it splits into two new Nested Dolls if it has at least 10 hit points. Each new Nested Doll has hit points equal to half the original Nested Doll's, rounded down. New Nested Dolls are one size smaller than their 'parent' with a minimum size of Tiny.

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) ...

Bryne Woemonger

There is nothing typical about the typical bryne. These coastal terrors are lumbering humanoids with a skin tone close to that of a drowned corpse. Crystal-like deposits of bone and salt erupt from their elbows, knees and shoulders while the rest of their flesh is puckered here and there from barnacle scars and fell branding. Their most disturbing aspect, however, is their fleshless skulls. Some say a bryne’s head resembles a dead horse, others a dead wolf’s and there is an argument to be made for both. While the skull’s shape is general equine the fangs within are wicked and sharp like a dire wolf’s Deep set eyes as black and cold as a shark's ooze off-white ichors and within the fleshy inside of a bryne’s mouth resides a forked tongue capable of speech. Adorned with the remnants of lost vessels and inhabited by a flock of undead albatross, the bryne woemonger takes to the field wielding a reclaimed anchor as a weapon. Driftwood cages serve as shoulder guards for this giant s...
