The Web




One half of the Spider and the Web, this risen drow was an assassin sent to deal with a pesky human when Death swept the Kingdom. It and its sibling were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now it is an ashen husk of a creature covered in crisscross lacerations leaking putrid magic with remnants of a spider-silk raiment hanging from its twisted physique. The Web saps energy from its nearby victims, slowing their hearts and limbs Oftentimes, the prey is already affected by the Spider's venomous nature and has little hope of survival. Worse yet, the drow twins still carry a mystical connection. One will not lay at rest while the other still plagues the living.

Limited Telepathy.

The Web can magically communicate simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically with the Spider if it is within 1 mile of it.

Parlor Tricks.

As long as the Spider and the Web are within 1-mile of one another they gain +4 to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma as noted above. If the Spider is killed within 90ft of the Web, the Spider flies into a rage for the next minute. During this time it will attack the nearest creature, friend or foe, and gains advantage on those attacks.


At the next sunset if the Spider is dead but the Web is still alive, the Spider returns to unlife at the Web's location with full hit points.

Spun Death.

If a creature begins its turn within 30ft of the Web it must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom save or take 7 (2d6) necrotic damage and have its speed reduced by half. Creatures with the Spider Climb ability or like effect are immune to Spun Death.

Undead Fortitude.

If damage reduces the zombie to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5+the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the zombie drops to 1 hit point instead.

The zombie makes two slam attacks.

Slam.

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.

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.

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.
