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.

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.
