Carving Mimic




The first one of these terrors started off as the runt polyp of its liter. Taken in by a deranged soul, it aided in a string of brutal murders. Though, it only saw its wielder as a protector and true friend. After all, it never left an encounter famished. When its 'friend' was finally slain, the mimic wisely laid inert. It worked its way into a cook's panoply and slowly by giving visions of the woman giving into her resentment and rage. Soon enough the bloodshed began anew. Since then, its spawn has spread far and wide, and with them, a rash of normal people snapping. Some speak of a secret cult dedicated to 'the biting blades'. Let's hope that is just a rumor...

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a butcher knife, cleaver, 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 Medium or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 13). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Blood Frenzy.

The mimic has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points. It conveys this ability to a creature using it while it is in object form.

Blood Rites.

Whenever the mimic kills a creature or is used to kill a creature while in object form, it retains a number of hit points equal to the creature's hit dice.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a butcher knife or cleaver.

Grappler.

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

Limited Telepathy (Object Form Only).

The mimic can magically communicate simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically with any creature holding it.

Actions

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Reactions

Chew (Object Form Only).

When a creature wielding the mimic in its object form successfully hits a creature with an attack, the mimic may use its reaction to make a Bite attack against that creature.

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.
