Chuck Carrion




This life-sized puppet sipons powers off of each and every kill the 'meat puppets' he has created commit. He even can absorb them, dead or otherwise, to repair damage to his own form. When Chuck Carrion does so, he will sometimes gain the powers that a puppet once had to add to his deadly arsenal. Appearance wise, when he's not consumed a humanoid's appearance, Chuck Carriorn's articlate body resembles a classic marrionette puppet crafted from black-veined boned dredged from the depths of Hell itself. He wears a variety of garish outfits depending on his mood and who he is impersonating but is never without a needle closer to a lance in size. The needles blood-red string coils into his back and spools there when not in use. Chuck Carrion uses the harpoon similar to a harpoon, drawing victims in when desired or reeling himself toward them with malicious glee.

Multiattack.

Chuck Carrion makes two attacks in any combination of Broken Shear and Spit Tooth.

Great Needle.

Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., range 30/60ft, one target. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) piercing damage. In addition, a creature is grappled (DC13).

Broken Shear.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) slashing damage.

Spit Tooth.

Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 15/30 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) piercing damage.

Smother.

Chuck Carrion hurls an enchanted swath of skin at a creature within 20ft. The creature must succeed on DC 13 Dexterity save or have its face covered by the skin. The creature is Blinded and struggles for its breath as if it is Drowning. As an action, the creature may make a DC 13 Strength check, tearing off the skin and ending the effects on success. A creature within 5ft may also use its action to perform the same Strenght check to tear away the skin.

Reactions

Stitch.

Chuck Carrion either pulls a creature grappled by his Great Needle 15 feet closer to him or moves 15ft closer to that creature. Neither movement provokes an opportunity attack.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

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) ...

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...
