Unitrifle Devil




An unholy amalgamation of fiend and machine the unitrifle is a pale-scaled devil from the waist up and a single black-iron wheel below. Like the rest of the King of Fool's Cavalcade the infernal swaths itself in ostentatious finery. This is often a heavily-brocaded black doublet with ruby sequins and a pointed hat with a red puff at the top. Its face is painted to be almost clownish, but the angles of its makeup are acute enough to be unsettling. The unitrifle carries a vicious whip crafted from demon-skin.


Hell on Wheels. The cavalcade's unitrifles fulfill many roles within the infernal cirque. When the malefic motley is on the move they serve as outriders. When the King of Fools has set up shop in a favored tyrant's territory the unitrifles function as scouts or calvary if matters get bloody. Matters often do. When performing for the masses unitrifles delight the unwitting crowd with all manners of acrobatics and other tricks in tandem with their fellow devils.

Drag & Strip.

If the unitrifle devil has a creature grappled by its demon's lash it may attempt to drag the creature with it as it moves, breaking the victim's skin and bones along the ground. The grappled creature must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity or Strength save (creature's choice) or take 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 ft the unitrifle devil moves this turn. The creature is then placed in any adjacent, empty square to the unitrifle devil at the end of the devil's movement. If the creature succeeds it is released from the demon's lash and is no longer grappled.

Freedom of Movement.

The untrifle devil ignores difficult terrain, and magical effects can't reduce its speed or cause it to be restrained. It can spend 5 feet of movement to escape from nonmagical restraints or being grappled.

Spiderclimb.

The unitrifle devil can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Trampling Charge.

If the unitrifle devil moves at least 20 ft. straight toward a creature and then hits it with a trample attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the unitrifle devil can make another trample attack against it as a bonus action.

Actions

Trample:

Melee Weapon Attack. +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) bludgeoning damage.

Devil's Lash:

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4+3) slashing damage and 3 (1d6) fire damage. In addition, the target is grappled (escape DC 14) if it is a Medium or smaller creature and the unitrifle devil doesn't already have a creature grappled. This grapple automatically ends if the unitrifle devil makes a demon's lash attack against another target. While grappled the creature gains the spiderclimb trait above.

Spit Nails (Recharge 5-6):

The unitrifle devil vomits a 15ft cone of black-iron caltrops. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity save or take 5 (2d4) piercing damage. In addition, the area becomes difficult terrain for the next minute. When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every 5ft it travels.

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.

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...

Warlock Patron: The Embalmed

You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power.
