Special Abilities

• • Refresh (1 AP + 1 SP): The Goblin Shaman can perform a
• tribal dance which either refreshes their MP to full or regain
• all of the casts for their Spellcaster trait as a Secondary Action
• • Earth’s Harsh Embrace (1 SP): Instead of dealing damage o
• on a successful hit in melee with its Talons against a Medium s
• or smaller target, the Harpy can spend a Stamina Point to t
• grab them and soar upwards 6m without spending move- u
• ment. The Harpy can then immediately spend another t
• Stamina Point and Action point to continue flying upwards. t
• If multiple Harpies are carrying the same target, only one p
• needs to spend a Stamina Point per 6m of height. This is t
• treated as a Grapple for the purposes of breaking free, and s
• the Harpy can choose to drop the target at any point, which
• will suffer falling damage as normal. H

Goblin shamans serve as the high priests and religious leaders of the goblin clans, who worship Muluk, the goblins’ version of Malacath. They practice primitive elemental hedge-magic and concoct simple brews and poisons for their clans. The most interesting feature of the goblin shaman is their Totem Staff, a brutal, bladed staff enchanted with primal magics that allow the casting of a single damaging cantrip at will. Goblin totem staves are passed down generation to generation, and date back to time unknown. The Totem Staff of a clan has profound spiritual importance to the tribe, and they will relentlessly hunt for their Totem Staff if stolen, either by a rival clan or by adventurers. Goblin scouts will range for miles and burn villages to the ground in night raids, and sack other goblin . dens in their search.

Loot

• A goblin shaman has on its person what it is equipped with,
• in addition to about d12 drakes worth of fetishes and
• baubles weighing about 1 ENC. Goblin Totem Staves are
• able to always cast their innate spell. A goblin clan will stop
• at nothing to retrieve a stolen Totem Staff, and their gener-
• ations breed quickly. Taking the Totem Staff will likely result
• in increased goblin raids in the coming weeks and months
• as they search for their ancestral totem.
• A character can make a +0 Alchemy test to harvest a goblin
• ear, which is an Uncommon Destruction ingredient. If the
• character succeeds with more than 1 DoS, they harvest two
• ears instead.
• Goblins are likely to have treasure stashed somewhere in
• their den. At the GM’s discretion, the characters can make
• a number of rolls on the Treasure table the GM feels appro-
• priate for the den.

• arpies are found in places with rocky cliffs and crags suitable
• or their nests, where they live in small matriarchal groups that
• ave in rare cases been known to communicate with mortals.
• hey are a common nuisance around the Iliac Bay.
• hey are usually encountered when they leave their nests in
• rder to kidnap, mate with and kill human males, or to keep
• trangers away from their nests. When threatened, harpies use
• heir flight to their advantage, making hit and run attacks and
• sing their powerful legs to heave characters into the air, either
• o drop them to break their bones, or to separate the party so
• hey can focus their savage attacks on one target at a time. They
• refer to fight in the open, where they can take advantage of
• heir flight to its best, and high places are preferred ambush
• ites.
• arpy feathers are treasured for their vibrance, ranging from
• eep blues and greens to bright electric pinks and yellows. Their
• eathers are said to be imbued with magical properties that are
• he envy of crafters and trophy seekers.

• On a +10 Survival test over a Long Rest, a character can use
• 5 harpy feather hides to create a Harpy Feather Cloak. A
• Harpy Feather cloak can be worn on the back, and weighs
• 1 ENC when carried. Any time the wearer succeeds on a
• Defense Test roll, regardless of whether or not they win the
• Opposed Combat Roll, the wearer gains the Resist Normal
• Weapons 2 trait for the duration of the attack. Failing this
• test spoils the feathered hides, halving their worth and ren-
• dering them useless.

• over a Short Rest. The character harvests DoS doses of harpy
• talons, which are an Uncommon Restoration ingredient.
