The Whistler




"Hell, Ain't really hard to figure out what the spirit they call the Whistler is all about. Now, it be hard to figure out what the figure is in life.

Ya see, he ain't got no head to speak of, nor a pair lips neither to whistle with.

His neck ends in a jagged stump that still flex as it should we he dun whistle.

The clothes he wears ain't fancy neither. No flash, no frills, no heraldry.


I reckon he was a crofter of some sort that whistled as he worked, given the ghost's calloused hands

Some poor fella that fell victim to an industrial accident that weren't no accident, you hear?

The Guilds 'round these parts used to be cut-throat and them coffers stained with blood.


The Whistler, he and the restless dead he gathers to him, well guess who they target. I suppose ya can figure the rest out."

Coffer Mimic

Most adventurers have either encountered or heard a story of an encounter with a mimic disguised as a chest. This is so common that everyone assumes a chest might just be a mimic. Hopefully, they never run across this monstrosity. Bred and trained by The Moneylender to protect his ill-gotten fortune, these mimics take the form of high-quality chests and possess greedy souls. They horde treasure and protect it fiercely. The more booty the mimic holds, the tougher it becomes - even more so when it robs the dead. If they get too aggressive, the Moneylender sells them off to other villains to populate their castles and dungeons.

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) ...

Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power. Expanded Spell List The Embalmed lets you choose from an expanded list of Spells when you learn a Warlock spell. The following Spells are added to Warlock spells list for you. 1st - Inflict Wounds, Ray of Sickness 2nd - Animal Messenger, Dust Devil 3rd - Bestow Curse, Vampiric Touch 4th - Giant Insect, Phantasmal Killer ...
