Arcane Chocobo (Giant Chicken) Familiar

A chicken familiar (hen) exposed to high levels of radiation during an adventure turns into a chocobo-like creature. Eventually, my player lost this familiar, re-summoned, and got a demonic version and eventually got the arcane version. It’s the same spirit just taking different forms. The chocobo is called Diabexes – because it’s fat and loves […]

D6. Hall of Lost Grandeur

There were too many rooms in this dungeon that were essentially “break down door and kill the orc”. Mixed it up by changing some of the room encounters. This was the last time they encountered the stonewalker spirit as he took over statues to harass the party. The party got surprise and the red onryoki died in the first […]

sisters of the broken path

bodak geiko

These mobs were purposely created to show how the bad guys can use the Oiran class against them. Was a fun encounter as the PCs realised they prefer not to be on the receiving end of the geiko’s buffing songs. BODAK GEIKO Medium undead, chaotic evil Armor Class 15 (natural armor, tattered kimono) Hit Points 58 (9d8 + 18) Speed 30 […]

D9. The Great Procession of Mortality

There were too many rooms in this dungeon that were essentially “break down door and kill the orc”. Mixed it up by changing some of the room encounters. Here one. My PCs visited the room twice, so Shizu was added the second time. Great fight and puzzle. D9. The Great Procession of Mortality This is the mind […]

okami leader Shizu

I had this NPC harass the party throughout the adventure withdrawing before she could be cornered. They eventually pinned her at the Lake Bed (see tactics below). But she eventually became a respected enemy and instead of killing her they knocked her out and used the sacred brush to rewrite her memory and alignment. She […]

Akinosa

The Japanese doppelgänger. Residents of the gutted pagoda. The kumo are at war with the oni and okami. Built off the 5E/4E drider. I didn’t get to use Akinosa but a DM always reuses his stuff so he appears later re-skinned. Akinosa Large monstrosity (shapechanger, yokai), neutral evil Armor Class 19 (natural armor) Hit Points 129 (13d10 + 52) Speed 50 ft., […]
