Silvanesti NPCs (Part Two)

Eilra Summerwalker is the captain of the Lateu'ivae (Rainbow), an elven ship based in Silvanost. She served as a member of the Elven Advisory Council until she was abducted by Lord Hamish and taken to the Plane of Faerie due to her romantic involvement with Raven. There, she was used as bait to lure him into an ambush by Ellessandra, who at that point was the Lady of the Crawling Fey. After her rescue, she tracked and coordinated the efforts of the adventuring party Raven was part of and participated in the defense of Tarithnesti.

Parnitha is the commander of the Silvanesti garrison in Tarithnesti. Her primary duties are the protection of the city, the training of its defenders, and keeping a watchful eye on Khur raiders from the north. Back when Tarithnesti was founded, it was protected by a Cadre of Ranger-Arcanists. She rarely raises her voice, projecting a quiet authority. When she uses her primal scream, her warriors claim that "the forest screams with her."

* Crystal-tipped arrows are treated as Masterwork ammunition; additionally, when they glow dimly under low-light conditions. They shatter on impact, leaving the target covered with "glitter" that retains its dim glow. Survival checks made to track a target hit by a crystal-tipped arrow receive a +10 bonus for 1 hour before the crystals lose their luminosity. 

• Followers from Leadership feat: Cohort (8th level max, must be at least two levels lower than her), 8 × 1st followers
• Primal Scream (Su): 6/day, as a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, Parnitha can release a primal scream induces a state of feral frenzy that lasts for 4 rounds. In this frenzy, she gains a +2 bonus to Strength and a +6 bonus to Dexterity. In addition, her jaw elongates and her teeth become razor-sharp; granting a bite attack that deals 1d6 points of damage. She can wield a weapon in one or both hands at her normal attack bonus and make a secondary bite attack, but in that case the bite attack takes a –5 attack penalty.
     • Enemies Shaken: Her primal scream makes enemies within 30 feet shaken when she activates the ability. This is a sonic, mind-affecting fear effect. Creatures in the area must make Will saves (DC 17). On a failed save, a creature is shaken for a number of rounds equal to her class level. Creatures with more Hit Dice than her are immune to this effect.

Road Trip to the Dragon Isles - The Sands of Time (Part 1)

Image
01 Deepkolt 349 AC The Valley of Blue Sand fades behind the party as they ride north into the desert. Arthur rides Nightrend, Agnes, Davaa and Altan sit high atop their camels, and Phineas brings up the rear on his Across-the-Plains-inator. The stallion is wary of the gnome's bizarre device, refusing to go near the thing. The blue sand gives way to gold and white, with short patches of exposed rock scoured bare by the unrelenting desert winds. The dying vestiges of winter still cling to the land, sparing the travelers from the searing heat that will arrive just a few weeks hence. Grit still stings their exposed skin and forces them to squint to protect their eyes. Phineas pulls his goggles down and takes the lead, blazing a path for the others to follow. Close to noon, the desert begins to look and feel... wrong somehow. Sand, instead of forming into dunes, twists into geometric spirals and cones. Sand flows up these formations even without driving wind behind it. Granite grumbl...

The Crossover I Didn’t Know I Needed

Image
I was going through some old posts last night and struck upon an idea. Birds Aren't Real + Lawyer Dog + Magic Pickle + Superhuman Registration Act = one crazy adventure seed Hicksville - while patrolling the city , searching for signs of the Brotherhood of Evil Produce, Weapon Kosher comes across a glitching Pigeon-bot that is attacking a random citizen. The Magic Pickle intervenes but is arrested for not being registered with the 50-State Initiative. Lawyer Dog is appointed as his defense attorney.

The War in Tarithnesti - First Skirmish

Image
  06 - 07 Deepkolt 349 AC THE PROTECTOR'S TOWER Ornforithalas approaches the Protector's Tower. The sentries outside open the door to allow him entrance. "The commander is in her war room - fifth floor." The newly reinstated captain nods, heads inside, and makes his way up the stairs. He finds Commander Parnitha inspecting the map spread across her table. She doesn't turn but takes a deep breath, "Ornforithalas. Report." Ornforithalas speaks, his tone crisp and professional, “My scouts are organized and drilled. Two-rank volley discipline is improving. Morale is steady. We are ready for deployment.” Parnitha continues to study the map. She picks up one the figures so he can see it, “Kysek himself is airborne scouting?” “Yes, Commander," he replies. She taps one of the markers near the outskirts of Tarithnesti. “We’ve already committed troops to forward ambush positions.” Another tap marks the roads leading toward the caverns. “Evacuation rout...

The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight!

Image
I had posted this character class meme on Instagram a short time ago… It got me to thinking about The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight from the Tick cartoon and, like so very   many times before , I had to convert the character into an NPC for use in my campaign .   If you wanted to use The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight in a “standard” campaign, he would still function in much the same way he does in the show – as an unstable maniac the adventurers or the City Watch has to deal with. This is what I came up with (AD&D stats at the end) .   I hope you enjoy. - - - - - - The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight (Real Name unrevealed) CR: 1 Male Human Expert 1 CN Medium Humanoid Init: +1, Senses: Listen +1, Spot +1 Languages: Read/Write and Speak English AC: 12 (Costume, +1 Dex); t: 11, ff: 11 Hp: 6 (1HD) Immune: - - Fort +0, Ref +1, Will +3 ...

The Elephant of Surprise 🐘

Image
The kids were watching "The Jungle Book" earlier tonight. I was in the kitchen, half-listening for the songs, when they got to the part of the movie where Bagheera is asking the elephants for their help in finding Mowgli. Colonel Hathi then turns to his troops, gives his orders, and tells them that they will have the "element of surprise."  But that is not what I heard. What I heard was "Elephant of Surprise."  So, here we are. I decided to go with a Chaotic Neutral Fey. I'm envisioning a creature who sneaks up behind you and yells "BOO!" before collapsing in a fit of laughter.  As your party progresses through the woods, the Ranger catches sight of a creature up ahead: an elephant standing upright on its hind legs, hiding behind a tree. You are stunned to realize that if your scout hadn't said anything, you would have walked right past the creature without noticing. The Elephant of Surprise CR: 7     Huge Fey     HD: 11d6+55 (91...
