  • The Questing Beast Solitary, Stealthy, Magical, Devious, Intelligent, Hoarder
    Bite (w[2d6] damage) 12 HP 1 armor
    Close

    After days of hunting you and your party, the beast steps from the shadows slowly. The first thing you see is a large lizard head with a frill around its neck. This head is connected to the body of an ox, with the hindquarters of a lion and the tail of a very large snake. At the end of the tail is a false snake head that looks threatening, but doesn't appear to be able to do anything. Despite the strange appearance, it walks without making a sound and approaches your group. Its tongue flits in and out of its mouth periodically as it surveys your faces. It...smiles (somehow)...and says, "I have a gift for you quesssssst takerssss. Pleasssssse, you will do great thingsssss, and I would like to help you achieve." Instinct: To shape the world as it sees fit.

    • When the beast looks into the future and sees a quest taken by a nearby person or group, the beast will seek this group to give a boon or hinderance to the quest takers
    • When discovered, it will tell you what you want to hear, regardless of the truth.
    • When the beast senses a quest in progress, it can look into the future to determine the outcome of the quest.
    • When confronting an adventuring group on a quest, it can summon a magic item that can aid the party - but is more often cursed.
