Relict Minion: Wax Mephit




A perversion of elemental chaos, candle mephits are artificial creatures patterned off of the common extra-planner nuisance. The Relict developed these creatures while experimenting with small doses of her ichor and wax. Fragments of the divine spark within her alit within the candles she'd made and the wax transformed in small, winged terrors. Unlike true mephits these faux-elementals don't revel in trickery but serve the Relict's whims directly.

Comprised of warm wax and flame, candle mephits act like loyal attack dogs. At rest, the creatures take the unassuming shape of lit candles. In death, they cover their slayers with searing tallow which rapidly hardens even as it burns.

 Illumination: The mephit glows with the strength of a candle.

Death Burst: When the mephit dies, it explodes in a burst of scalding wax. Each creature within 5 feet of it must make a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4 (1d6) fire damage on a failed save and are restrained until they make a DC 11 Strength check to break free. Another creature adjacent to the wax-restrained creature may use its Action to make DC 11 Strength check to break the wax-restrained creature free. On success, a creature takes half as much damage and is not restrained.

Innate Spellcasting (at will): The mephit can innately cast Prestidigitation, but to only to instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma.

Claws:

Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) slashing damage plus 2 (1d4) fire damage.

Fire Breath (Recharge 6):

The mephit exhales a 15-foot cone of fire. Each creature in that area must make a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Shapeshift.

The mephit may use its action to polymorph into a small or tiny candle, or back to its true form. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts back to its true form if it dies. As a candle the mephit is still aware of its surroundings and can take no actions except to shapeshift into its true form or to case prestidigitation.

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.
