Gutter Rat




"Some say Gutter Rat has always haunted this beleaguered city. It used to be a halfling shire, you know, before humans decided they needed the nearby river to mill their grain and the fields nearby to grow it. Sure, you can find the wee folk around still, dodging around your boots. Hell, most of them ain't even all that angry that this used to be their land. Gutter Rat though, his anger never cools.

The dead are like that.

Never heard of the little terror attacking one of its kin, though. Now, humans? It lets their blood run in the streets freely. Gutter Rat tends to target those that abuse and ridicule halflings. Though, I guess it's ended enough folks that ain't.

Quick as hell, its hands made out of blades shears the soul away before you realize the bundle o' rags ain't no beggar child. If'n you ain't fast enough to hit it, the Gutter Rat just slices you again. I guess that's why most folks don't hunt the haunt. Those that do don't come back. Plus, they say it's unlucky to draw its ire. I reckon it is.

I reckon heroic folk like yerselves don't care none about that."

Coffer Mimic

Most adventurers have either encountered or heard a story of an encounter with a mimic disguised as a chest. This is so common that everyone assumes a chest might just be a mimic. Hopefully, they never run across this monstrosity. Bred and trained by The Moneylender to protect his ill-gotten fortune, these mimics take the form of high-quality chests and possess greedy souls. They horde treasure and protect it fiercely. The more booty the mimic holds, the tougher it becomes - even more so when it robs the dead. If they get too aggressive, the Moneylender sells them off to other villains to populate their castles and dungeons.

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...
