Mottled Suckling




The mottled suckling is a lithe, rubbery creature with sallow yellow skin covered in inky, infectious blots. Little remains of the humanoid it once was, including a lack of sex characteristics and hair. Its face is a teardrop shaped with its point ending in a puckered hole where a mouth would be. This sphincter contains the suckling's vile proboscis, which uncoils like a wary serpent before plunging into a victim. Most sucklings wear tatterdemalion clothes, giving them the appearance of a beggar or leper. Still, if their skin and oddly shaped skulls weren’t dead giveaways of an alien nature, the suckling’s gnarled claws are half-again longer than a humanoid’s hand.


Blight Bringers. So powerful is the pull of The Pariah's throng of devoted madmen, the mottled sucklings eventually perished from one eldritch disease or another produced by the sultan of sickness. Yet, the most fervent did not stray dead. Instead, their mortal coils were as to a moth’s pupae from which a mottled suckling pulled itself free in a wash of fervid juices. Reborn as an unnatural blend of mosquito and man, the sucklings clumsily garb themselves in soiled rags pulled from the plagued corpses around them before joining the Pariah’s cavalcade.

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.
