The Lancer




"Hard to tell what color this lady's scales used ta be, don't much matter in the end, suppose.


This grey horror once fought to slay rampaging dragons, only to be betrayed by the common folk fer being born of those hated lizards. Drove some mystic lance in her chest, broke it off. Guess what weapon she carries now as the hungry dead? It aint intact but it acts that way.


Suppose she's atoning fer her sins now, but racking up a whole host o' new ones. The Lancer claims she's protecting dragon-kind, but killin everythin' else aint the way to do it."

-Fossor Carvilius Graeme

When the ghost hits a creature with an opportunity attack, the creature's speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.

When a creature makes an attack against a target other than the ghost, she can use her reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature.

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

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.

Bryne Woemonger

There is nothing typical about the typical bryne. These coastal terrors are lumbering humanoids with a skin tone close to that of a drowned corpse. Crystal-like deposits of bone and salt erupt from their elbows, knees and shoulders while the rest of their flesh is puckered here and there from barnacle scars and fell branding. Their most disturbing aspect, however, is their fleshless skulls. Some say a bryne’s head resembles a dead horse, others a dead wolf’s and there is an argument to be made for both. While the skull’s shape is general equine the fangs within are wicked and sharp like a dire wolf’s Deep set eyes as black and cold as a shark's ooze off-white ichors and within the fleshy inside of a bryne’s mouth resides a forked tongue capable of speech. Adorned with the remnants of lost vessels and inhabited by a flock of undead albatross, the bryne woemonger takes to the field wielding a reclaimed anchor as a weapon. Driftwood cages serve as shoulder guards for this giant s...

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.
