Heart Binder




Caught between demon and book, the Heart Binder floats along filled with page after page of harmful lore. Lore it is willing to share with both the curuious and unwary to better spread the influence of its creator, the fiendish Thirst Slacker Those who accept its dark counsel gain additional arcane or even divine power in exchange for lifeforce - either their own or others. The Heart Binder's pages are insidous enough they can entice the weak-willed. Sometimes the vile codex crushes the hearts of these poor souls just for fun.

Portcullis Mimic

What is a castle opening if not a giant mouth waiting for teeth? At least, that's how the portcullis mimic sees it and the monstrosity is all too happy to provide the chompers. No one can say for sure where the first of this breed came from, or why they are so tough. One thing is for sure, evil overlords love breeding, feeding, and pampering theirs. Many a popular uprising has been stopped the moment the battering ram gets stuck and the gate starts chewing. Feral mimics of this breed search out abandoned keeps, ruined castles,and many-halled dungeons for their lairs.

Fifth Mimic

There was once a gambler who was tossed out one too many times by a particular innkeeper and decided to get revenge. How said gambler got this particular mimic runt and taught it take the shape of a bottle? They're not telling. However, it sprang the perfect trap on that damn innkeeper and several of the barflies who tried to help. The gambler also won't divulge how he taught the mimic to fire endless corks with the force of halfling sling stones or why so many of the bottles around town became these monstrosities within a year.

Bauble Mimic

A collection of stunted mimic polyps, the first set of bauble mimics were at first struggling to feed themselves. That was until, they noticed that prey often poked chests, doors, and other common objects their normal brethren became. However, when it came to shiny gems, people and even some animals picked them up without a second thought. Avarice is a powerful thing after all. Plus, it was easy to hide in travel and loot. Over time, they also discovered that certain gem shapes imbued them with odd abilities for one reason or another. The bauble mimics didn't bother with the why, instead, they spread far and wide across the region.
