Allegro




As the allegro is always in motion, it is hard to pin down its features. The billowing, bright clothes it wears are soiled with innumerable blood splatters from previous victims and hang on a scarecrow-frame of glowing crimson. The creature wears a bauta mask, though the ties of the accessory flutter off the sides of its head instead of being bound in the back. Its legs taper off into faded points. The exposed bones of its forearms resemble violin bows, save the string is made for slashing instead of playing. Fine gloves hover in the correct place, despite a break where a wrist should be.


Hyper-Ventilators. Born from the panicked breath of a humanoid in the throes of frightened mania, the allegro has a hard time standing still. It wants nothing more than to bring forth such noises again and honestly Phantasmagoria has a hard time keeping those in its employ under control. Sometimes the fiendish note aims an allegro at a specific target, but it just as often lets them loose to ‘have a run’ and ‘work off some energy’. On those nights, the streets are thickly swathed with blood.

Any creature that fails this save by 5 or more is deafened for the next minute.


The allegro is not subject to opportunity attacks during Cutting Notes and reforms at the terminus of its line attack. It is Restrained until the end of its turn.

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.
