Known as barbers for both the use of wicked blades and their proclivity for slashing the necks of their victims, these insidious fey can be found lurking in dark and harrowed places like back-alley streets or abandoned, deep-shaded cemeteries. \n_**Fey Punishers.**_ Called the siabhra (pronounced she-uvh-ra) among the fey courts, vile barbers are fickle creatures. They are sent to punish those who have offended the fey lords and ladies, and their cruelty and cunning help them write messages in blood and skin. At the very least, they scar those who have spoken ill of the fey; those who have harmed or murdered the fey are more likely to be bled slowly. Some of these deaths are made quite public—though in a few cases, the victim is enchanted to remain invisible while the siabhra does its bloody work. \n_**Slippery Fighters.**_ A vile barber often uses its ability to step through shadows to steal a victim’s weapon and use it against its former owner with devastating effect. Any creature grappled by a vile barber is at the mercy of the barber’s sinister and unclean weapons—they delight in close combat. \n_**Assassins and Envoys.**_ Vile barbers frequently consort with hags and prowl the places these wicked crones cannot go as emissaries and assassins. Information on the siabhra is scant; most adventurers who meet them don’t live to share their findings or to see the vile barber lick its bloody blade clean.", "name": "Vile Barber", "size": "Small", "type": "Fey", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "chaotic evil", "armor_class": 15, "armor_desc": "leather armor", "hit_points": 28, "hit_dice": "8d6", "speed": { "walk": 30 }, "strength": 12, "dexterity": 18, "constitution": 10, "intelligence": 10, "wisdom": 8, "charisma": 10, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": null, "perception": null, "skills": { "athletics": 3, "stealth": 6 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks not made with silvered or cold iron weapons", "damage_immunities": "", "condition_immunities": "frightened", "senses": "blindsight 60 ft., passive Perception 9", "languages": "Common, Goblin, Sylvan, Umbral", "challenge_rating": "2", "cr": 2.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The vile barber makes two attacks with its straight razor." }, { "name": "Straight Razor", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

It appears as a floating ball of flickering light similar to a will-o’-wisp. The hue of quartz used during the creature’s creation determines the color of each witchlight’s illumination. After the quartz is prepared, it is animated through an extended magical ritual cast under a full moon and a clear, starry sky. Consequently, they are extremely rare by any measure. \n**Flashing Light Code.** A witchlight always shares the same alignment as its creator. Although it cannot speak, a witchlight understands Common or another language taught it by its creator. Many spellcasters have taught their witchlights a coded cipher, so it can spell out words by flaring and dimming its light. When necessary, a witchlight can spell words in the air by flying so quickly that its trail of light forms letters. This stunt requires a successful DC 14 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check per word. \n**Free Roaming.** If the witchlight’s master dies within one mile of the witchlight, it explodes in a brilliant but harmless flash of light. If it loses its master under any other circumstance, it becomes masterless; it’s free to do as it pleases, and it can never serve anyone else as a familiar. The statistics below represent these independent witchlights. \nEvil witchlights can be surprisingly cruel, not unlike will-o’wisps. They seek to lure lost travelers into swamps or traps by using their glow to imitate the light of a safe haven. Conversely, good-aligned witchlights guide travelers to places of safety or along safe paths, and they are prized by pilots and guides. Neutral witchlights exhibit a playful nature—sometimes mingling inside the cavities of weapons, gems, or other curiosities, which means those items may be mistaken for magic items.
