Scabrous Elemental




The churning mass of clotted blood, cruor, rotting discharges, and scabs takes on a disturbingly humanoid shape. Despite its vile mass, the elemental moves disturbingly fast as it transforms from a tide of filth and back to a hulking horror with ease.


Typhoid Tide. So powerful is the pull of The Pariah's charisma is so powerful that even the diseased effluents of his devoted flock gather to worship at his feet. As the diseased run off pools and grows, it eventually animates into a quasi-intelligent creature that can be best described as an elemental. These scabrous flows fill profane basins dedicated to the prince of pestilence. Other elementals glop through the streets of a city dominated by the Pariah’s insanity patrolling for those that would unwisely try and turn the tired.

Every time the elemental moves, it leaves behind a festering trail of biological muck in each 5ft space it passed through. Until the start of the elemental's next turn, all creatures that start their turn in or enters one of these spaces takes 2 (1d6) necrotic damage.

The elemental can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there. It can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.

Wound Sense.

The elemental automatically senses any creature within 15 ft. of it that currently has less than its maximum number of hit points. This does not affect constructs and undead.

Noxious Wave (Recharge 5-6).

The elemental lets loose a tide of cruor, pus, and scabs in a 20ft cone. All creatures within the area of effect must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be knocked prone and take 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage and 9 (2d8) necrotic damage.

Optional Rule

Plague Carrier. As a collection of diseased waste, the scabrous elemental could carry a variety of diseases. The DM could choose a particular disease for each elemental encountered that creatures would have to save against contracting after the battle resolves. No matter the disease, the DC saving throw to resist it would be 15.

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.
