Carvilius Graeme




"Now, I know what you be thinking. Why is a ghost wandering about hunting other malevolent spirits? We restless folk ain't like a race, guild or nothing. Not all of us are evil neither.

See, among my people, there were folks called fossors. They were somewhere between gravedigger and priest. It was our duty to prepare bones for burial, make sure the right rites were done. That way they'd not rise to menace the living. I was in charge of one of our catacombs. Hell, I don't even remember what ruin its buried under now. Doesn't matter.

Let's just say I screwed up and screwed up bad. Hungry dead came storming out of those catacombs and devoured the grand city above it. I managed to stop it. Weren't easy. The folks that survived didn't care neither. Bound me still living in an iron box, craved curses all over it, and then they moved on to far away lands. Can't say that I blame them.

Save, I didn't come back full of darkness and hate like most spirits do. Nah. I got a duty that I failed once, and I don't intend to fail it again. Save, of course, ghosts ain't no good at fighting one another.

So, what do you say? Wanna put down some ghosts for glory or some wraiths for wealth? Trust me, I don't just know where all the bodies are buried but the treasure too."

Carvilius knows the location of any undead within 60ft of him that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense covers both the Ethereal and Material Planes. Once per day the ghost may extend this up to 100 miles to search for a particular undead, provided he has heard a story or tale about the 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.
