Typhlotic Magistrate




Spindly and androgenous, the towering celestial wears a pure-white blindfold despite the fact its head is nothing more than a free-floating golden mask cast with a disapproving frown. One massive set of golden wings sprouts from the magistrate's sharp shoulders with two smaller sets of silver fluttering above and below. The outsider is adorned in a gossamer robe in which distant, dying stars twinkle. Its malnourished body can easily be seen through the translucent fabric whenever the light hits it right. Manacles with broken chains adorn each of the judge's ankles.


Angelic Arbiter. Justice is blind and so is the typhlotic magistrate. The celestial is without both compassion and corruption. Its only duty is to consider allegations brought before it and passing judgement in accordance with a cosmic sense of justice instead of vengeance. However, this cosmic sense of justice is not always in accordance to mortal morality. At times, the typhlotic magistrate's dictates can seem unduly harsh, non-sensical, or a mere slap on the wrist. The codices of celestial law were written when time began, it is not the magistrate's job to interpret or update them. One thing the angel cannot abide, however, is lies and will swiftly punish any who speak an untruth in its presence.

Frame Mimic

Rattling from the shadows, a gaggle of rat-gnawed bones march forward eager to slay the living. One of them lags behind, looking a bit more solid than the rest. You know your mace should have broken the leading skeletons to pieces. Yet, it merely cracked bones instead of shattering them. Tentacles lash out from the slower skeleton, adhering to you and pulling you closer to the maw manifesting from its ribcage. This is the frame mimic. The spawn of the ossuary mimic, this monstrosity also feels a kinship to the undead - specifically animated skeletons. It adopts a group of such horrors and its very presence temporarily empowers them. This is why the skeletons keep it around instead of hacking it to pieces as they would any other living thing. On top of that, frame mimics develop a supernatural stubbornness that can only be called boneheaded. So powerful is this force of will, that it mends their wounds as they plough forward against deadly spells. Frame Mimic Medium Monstrosit...

Brocade Mimic

The masked bard in gaudy attire was strumming away when the bar fight started. It kept playing even as chairs broke and mugs flew. Not one strum was missed even when blood was spilled. Then someone grew sick of the racket and stuck a hand ax into the bard's neck...with a wooden thunk. The fancy vest exploded with teeth, tentacles, and eyes. Then there was the color spray... The first brocade mimic lurked in the rafters of a bard college. Instead of eating a future player, it learned alongside them and caught a passion for the arts. Of course, it could have become an instrument but that wasn't quite grand enough. The mimic became a set of fancy clothes and was worn out the front doors. Sometimes it and its spawn become a bard's best friend. sometimes it pilots a dead one around for a bit, and other times it takes over a mannequin to strike out on its own. No matter how, the show must always go on. Brocade Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral ...

Yoke Mimic

Something tore apart the bandits you've been tracking, but it's not obvious what chewed and in some cases melted them. Maybe there's a wyrmling in the area? Either way, all that remains alive in the camp is a pair of oxen burdened by their cart. Though, they are quite nonplussed given the violence that must have occurred around them. Surely these simple beasts couldn't be the case of the carnage, could they? As you ponder this, the oxen start plodding away, pulling the cart of goods with them. Trying to stop them was the logical thing to do... their yoke coming undone with twin, yawning mouths not so logical. You know what that means... initiative rolls, please. Relatively benign, for a mimic, the yoke mimic was cultivated by an industrious farmer. They didn't see the point of wasting an animal that came into their care, even a strange monstrosity such as this one. It became a valuable tool not only to get fields plowed, but also kept the animals attached to it d...
