Channeling Mimic




Even monstrosities can have near-death experiences. Such an occurrence happened to the first channeling mimic as it was left for dead by an adventuring party beset shortly after their fight by a swell of shadows. The mimic managed to pull itself back from the brink, but came back… different. It found one pseudopod in the grave and using its connection to death took on the form of a spirit board. Besides strengthening its tethers to the shadowed realms, the disguise means prey willingly touch it, and often do what it tells them to do. Like their ancestors, all channeling mimics find that fear makes the meat taste better.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a spirit board or back into its true, amorphous form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

The mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 14). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Cold Reading (Object Form Only).

The mimic is considered to have cast Detect Thoughts at all times while in its Spirit Board form. This is not a magical effect.

Ethereal Sight.

The mimic can see 60 ft. into the Ethereal Plane when it is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary spirit board.

Grappler.

The mimic has advantage on attack rolls against any creature grappled by it.

Innate Spellcasting.

The mimic can innately cast Chill Touch (+5 to hit, 2d8 necrotic damage), requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma. Creatures touching or grappled by the mimic do not give the mimid Disadvantage on this spell attack.

Parasitic Linguist.

The mimic understands all languages of any creature touching it, but cannot speak

Actions

Multiattack.

The mimic makes two attacks. One of these attacks may be replaced by a casting of Chill Touch.

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Call Forth the Dead (1/day).

The mimic summons 1d6 Shadows. These shadows are friendly to the mimic and will defend it. These shadows remain until they or the mimic are reduced to 0 hit points; or until the next sunrise.

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.
