Scalding Mantle




The cloak is a sweeping shroud of wide, black feathers that are slightly warm to the touch. While the cloak doesn’t come with a full clasp, it does sport a wide, circular broach stamped with a phoenix feather. Along the outside there is a ring of scoured away celestial letters that can no longer be read. When attacking, the cloak flies about, spreading wide like a raptor in flight. Fire drips from betwixt its feathers​.


Misfortune sundered Castille’s renewed hope,

Bitterness flowed back in to stiffen his cracked soul.

Fortune born on fiery wings was extinguished,

Leaving Him only with a field of burning feathers and regret.

Oh, how bitterness smothers mercy,

How regret snuffs out faith.

When the scalding mantle is grappling a creature, it may use its bonus action to end out a 20ft radius cascade of flame. All targets within the area of effect must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity save or take 13 (3d8) fire damage.


The creature grappled by the scalding mantle automatically fails this save.

False Appearance.

While the cloak remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal cloak.

Magic Resistance.

The construct has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...

Piecemeal

Eveyrone should be free to live as they want and die as terribly as they can. This is the creed that the strange collection of bodyparts known as Piecemeal holds. Originally, it was a trio of kobolds who attempted a 'ritual' of their own design meant to grant immortality. Instead, it tore the three creatures into pieces that forgot how to die. The mass went quite mad and seeks to free other body parts from the 'bondage' of well, being part of a body. Travelling as three kobolds in a trenchcoat, Piecemeal wages a brutal war against 'slave owners' (IE anything with a body) and adds new parts to its collectiona as needed to keep the revolution going. Over time little of the kobolds remain, but it still rambles about in a trenchcoat spouting its made philosophy.
