Rapscallion




Most people might find these dwarf-sized, racoon-like creatures adorable. They don't realize that the bandit-like mask and black striations amid its auburn fur are actually ophidian scales. The rapscallion's deft hands end in strange, notched talons that resemble keys, but still prove sharp when the need arises. Whenever the monstrosity yawns its snake-like fangs and elastic jaw are on full display.


Tramps and Thieves. Rapscallions have cunning and mischievous minds stronger than that of the simple animal they often portray. The creatures use their cute nature as well as natural pheromones to lull victims into a false sense of security before robbing them blind. Those they can't win over are distracted by ghost sounds and illusionary lights. Most often the furry reptiles swipe food and whatever shiny thing catches their fancy. Down into the gullet these items go, shunted off to an extradimensional space linked to one of the creature's strange organs. While they don't comprehend language, it is not unheard of for a rapscallion to be trained by a unscrupulous ring master or crime lord for more complex snatch and grabs.

Consume Goods.

As an action, the rapscallion can unhinge its jaw and swallow objects of Tiny size or smaller. These objects are transported by an uncanny organ to an extradimensional space not unlike a bag of holding. This organ can hold up to 50 pounds not exceeding a volume of 6 cubic feet.


As an action, the rapscallion can vomit up an object contained within this organ into its square or a square within 5ft. When the rapscallion is slain all items stored in the organ flow seamlessly from its maw in a 15ft cone across the ground or floor.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage.

Pheromone Spray (Recharge 6).

The rapscallion expels a calming musk in a 20ft radius that fosters empathy for the monstrosity in the creatures around it. All creatures that need to breathe within the area of effect must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom save or be Charmed by the rapscallion for the next hour. If the rapscallion attacks a creature the Charmed effect automatically ends. Rapscallions are immune to this effect.


Individual rapscallions may contribute to the pheremone spray, increasing its potency. A rapscallion after the first that uses its action to Pheromone Spray before Initiative Count 20 of the next round adds 1 to its Pheromone Spray DC for every rapscallion that used Pheromone Spray before it that round.

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.
