  • Grey Dwarf Group, Large, Magical, Intelligent, Hoarder, Terrifying
    Mace (b[2d8+4] damage) 10 HP 3 armor
    Forceful, Reach, Near
    Special Qualities: gray skin and blank white eyes

    It is not known whether the gray dwarves migrated to the Caves of Infinity or if their more civilized cousins fled their brutish cousins. Tyrannical, grim, industrious and pessimistic, the lives of the gray dwarves are bleak and brutal. Rather than a flaw, however, they view their lack of happiness as their greatest strength, the defining feature of their pride. The gray dwarves saw themselves as the true paragons of dwarvish ideals compared to their weak and pampered kin, but in truth, their ways were a dark reflection of those found in normal dwarves While they do display the redeeming virtues of determination and bravery, the grays take dwarven flaws to their logical extremes. They are violent and hateful, sullen and insular, greedy and ungrateful, deeply cynical of others' motives and dutifully track and nurse every grudge, whether or not any offense was meant. Though their vices were many, the moral failings of the gray dwarves could be traced to three primary principles: bottomless greed, unceasing conflict, and rejection of emotion. Instinct: to enslave and profit

    Kill the wordless (d10+2 damage) 17 HP 5 armor
    Close, Ignores Armor, Far
    Special Qualities: can never remember just what the Man looks like when one looks away

    The Man of the Black Gates looks like a man, or at least it is called a man, and no one who has met with him has said otherwise, but no one can ever remember just what the Man looks like after they look away. The Man has aspired to power beyond his station and believes that the death of the Ancients is a means to an end for some reason. He cannot kill speakers outside his realm, and relies on contracts with resurrections to enforce his will in the material plane. Instinct: to bargain with life

    • Conjure images of loved ones' last moments and hide among them
    • Master of Reality in his Realm

  • Lividity the Warlock of the Gate Solitary, Magical, Divine, Intelligent, Hoarder, Construct
    Eldrich Blast (d10+2 damage) 16 HP 4 armor
    Close, Reach, Far
    Special Qualities: Lividity Cannot Passt Through the Gates, and thus cannot die, but may take days or weeks to come back to life depending on the physical damage.

    Lividity was born with no use for the gods. For her it was all to live and die with as little dealing with them as possible.She made a life investigating crimes for the Startangrad City Guard, sometimes monitoring religious actors, making sure they weren't establishing anything in the city that might count as a Temple. This was how she met her Harold, a priest of Tiffany running a garden in the city, medicinal herbs.He barley spoke of his goddess but he radiated her, he was pure light, offering cures, prorating payment for the poor, always, laughing, always dancing. He was everything she was not and she clung to all of it, and for her he was life itself. Until he died. Random thing, the guard said. Couple of ner do wells looking to get high, didn't understand that the fungus he was clutching to himself was to make a medicine that would cure an infected child down by the docks and not propel them into new heights of consciousness. That was the night she first prayed. She prayed to Death itself and he appeared. She'd heard of his shifting nature but his face has always remained in her mind since the night The Man showed up to say sorry, he'd already offered this one to go back for just a little favor. A small favor, he said, to stay here with Lividity a little longer, but he said Hells no. He was off to the Bosom of his goddess and had no need for dark trades. Lividity could not imagine the world without him in it, and so she struck a deal. She would serve if he was brought back. She would serve as long as she could stand just to know the world still had him in it, even though he'd hate her for it. And so she became what she is, bound to the power of the gates themselves. Instinct: To fufill her duty and die

    • Summon Devils and Demons
    • Open Hell's Womb
    • Learn what tempts you
    • Issue edicts to toadies
