  • The Black Beast Solitary, Large, Magical, Divine, Hoarder, Planar, Terrifying
    Teeth and claws of shadow (b[2d10+6] damage) 22 HP 4 armor
    Forceful
    Special Qualities: Flow like dark waters

    At first glance, it looked like a huge, winged tiger, all made of shifting shadows. When it moved, though, the proportions shifted and changed in a most unnatural way - as if the shadows were not used to having to hold a shape and form in the material world. It flowed, liquid-like, through its paces and, when it took to the air, the distortions were even worse. Sometimes, it seemed to pass portions of its body through solid objects, but other times, it moved around them. The shadows followed it, and cloaked it, and sprayed out over its foes. Through it all, the vicious, slashing claws and teeth, black as night, black as the void, cut and danced. Instinct: To guard the pit

    • Rend a foe limb from limb
    • Wrap shadows around itself or a target

  • Archmage Finley Thazar Group, Magical, Divine, Devious, Intelligent
    Elemental Flame (2d6+4 damage) 20 HP 6 armor
    Close, Reach, Ignores Armor, Near, Far

    The Archmage is the true leader of Highwatch. His commands are carried out without question and he is seen as almost god-like. He has long white hair and wears a long flowing red robe with golden threads woven into arcane runes covering the sleeves. He has a smooth, shaven face with a sharp jaw-line. Archmage earned the surname Thazar from his followers which translated from ancient elven means "god of death." He can summon an elemental flame that takes the shape of a long, winding serpent. Commanding this dangerous magic, it swirls around enemies burning them and burning away all their oxygen. Instinct: Seeks power to become a living god.

    • Uses the dark magic of the void to teleport himself short distances.
    • Casts a confusion spell that when cursed, the creature must roll+CON. On a 10+, they are not affected. On a 7-9, they will attack anyone near them. On a 6-, they are struck clueless for a few moments or until attacked.
    • The Archmage uses powerful defensive magic and is difficult to kill.

    Special Qualities: Travel through tiny tunnels in the walls and floors

    "They'd been stalking us for day, but we never saw them. See, the place was riddled with these little holes - in the walls, in the floor, in the ceiling - and they'd use those for getting around. So, yeah, never saw them. But we knew they were there, because our stuff kept vanishing. First, I woke up and a quiver of my arrows was just gone. Little scrape marks around where it had been sitting, no other sign. Next day, Fulgrim's whining about how his food bag, with all his jerky and figs, was missing. Stuff like that. "Then, as we're climbing up out of this hole in the side of the temple, Fulgrim's the last one out, and he comes barreling out of there, swinging his torch around him like a maniac. Almost clips me in the side of the head with it. Says they started popping out of the little holes as soon as he was alone - dozens of 'em. Says they were spiders, about the size of a big rat, with the heads of bats. Maybe stingers, he says, like scorpions. Coulda had wings, maybe. He didn't stick around to find out. "We started setting double watches after that." Instinct: To collect items
