Enemies who attack the peaceful erinas easily become confused and lost in the mazelike tunnels. On their own ground, the erinas can easily evade, outmaneuver, or surround invaders. They often lure them onto choke points where the enemy can be delayed endlessly while noncombatants and valuables are hustled to safety through other tunnels. \n_**Scroungers and Gatherers.**_ Erinas are naturally curious. They tend to explore an area by tunneling beneath it and popping up at interesting points. They dislike farming, but subsist mainly on the bounty of the land surrounding their homes. In cities, they still subsist on what they can find, and they have a knack for finding whatever they need. Sometimes they are called thieves, but they aren’t greedy or malicious.

Those bound to these pacts become warlocks, but the will and force of their patron is borne by more than just those who strike bargains for sorcerous power. A fext is a former warlock who has become wholly dedicated to their patron—mind, body, and soul—and functions as enforcer, bodyguard, and assassin. They are powerful undead slaves to the will of their otherworldly patron. \n**Linked to a Master.** Each fext is a unique servant of their patron and exhibits the physical traits of its master. The eyes of every fext are tied directly to their patron’s mind, who can see what the fext sees at any time. The fext also possesses a telepathic link to its patron. \nThe process a warlock undergoes to become a fext is horrendous. The warlock is emptied of whatever morality and humanity he or she had as wine from a jug, and the patron imbues the empty vessel with its corruption and unearthly will. Whatever life the fext led before is completely gone. They exist only to serve. \n**Outdoing Rivals.** Scholars have debated about how many fext a patron can command. The more powerful and well-established have at least 100, while others have only a handful. Where there is more than one fext, however, they maneuverings amongst themselves to curry favor with their powerful lord. Each fext is bound to obey commands, but they attempt to carry them out to the detriment of their competitors. Scheming is common and rampant among them and they try to work without the aid of other fext as much as possible. \n**Undead Nature.** A fext doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.", "name": "Fext", "size": "Medium", "type": "Undead", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "any alignment", "armor_class": 17, "armor_desc": "natural armor", "hit_points": 60, "hit_dice": "11d8+11", "speed": { "walk": 30 }, "strength": 14, "dexterity": 16, "constitution": 1, "intelligence": 14, "wisdom": 12, "charisma": 18, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": 6, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": 4, "charisma_save": 7, "perception": 4, "skills": { "perception": 4 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage with nonmagical weapons", "damage_immunities": "", "condition_immunities": "charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned", "senses": "darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 14", "languages": "the languages spoken by its patron", "challenge_rating": "6", "cr": 6.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The fext makes two melee or ranged attacks." }, { "name": "Eldritch Blade", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Its digestive tract usually is visible, especially for a few hours after it eats. The creature sometimes uses this limited visibility as bait, making itself appear as a wriggling snake or eel. It is most vulnerable just after eating, when it’s lethargic; if encountered in its lair shortly after a meal, the DM may give the glass gator disadvantage on initiative. \n**Larval Form.** Subterranean variants—including some with bioluminescence—have been reported in caverns.

All kalkes act with the arrogance of magi while having the social characteristics of baboons. Being of fiendish blood, kalkes do not age and require neither food nor drink. Though lacking any formal spellcasting ability, all kalkes can produce magical effects through the dramatic mumming of largely spontaneous and unstudied rituals. \n**Hoard Magical Paraphernalia.** The drive to produce ever more fanciful rituals gives a kalke the compulsion to accumulate spell components, magical foci, and other occult paraphernalia. Although these objects serve no purpose, the kalkes seek out spellcasters in their vicinity and steal any paraphernalia they can find. Because they have no ability to distinguish what’s magically useful from what isn’t, they grab any jewelry, pouches, sticks, or ornate objects they uncover. Sometimes children, animals, or other small humanoids are taken to be used as sacrifices, if they can be easily carried away. \n**Perform Rituals.** Troops of kalkes inhabit trees, caverns, and ruins around sites of significant magical activity. Twice a month, or more during major astrological and seasonal events, the kalkes gather to perform—by way of dance, chant, and sacrifice—an imagined rite of great magic. The effort has an equal chance of achieving nothing whatsoever, causing dangerous but short-lived misfortunes (snakes raining on the countryside, creatures summoned from the lower planes), or triggering calamities (great fires or floods). \nAn additional side effect of these rituals is that the troop may gain or lose members magically. If the troop numbers less than 13, a new kalke appears as if from nowhere; if it contains 13 or more members, then 3d4 of them find themselves mysteriously gated to the nearest location of magical activity—often hundreds of miles away. Those teleported arrive in a state of hysteria, with individuals extinguishing flames, grabbing frippery, and running in all directions. Because kalkes have no control over their displacement, it’s not surprising to find them in abandoned dungeons or keeps, clutching the property of some long-lost wizard. \n**Hagglers.** The kalkes will return the goods they've taken, in exchange for a ransom or fee.

A lantern dragonette’s unusual diet leads it to lair in libraries, abbeys, and other places of study. Even though the dragonettes eat candles essential for study during dark hours, they still provide light and protect their adopted homes. Residents and caretakers consider them good luck and enjoy conversing with them. \n**Telepathic Chatterbox.** This gregarious drake prefers to speak with its companions but uses telepathy if necessary, and the creature hisses when surprised or displeased. It loves nothing more than discussing magic and history with an intelligent and informed individual. \n**Adventurous Companions.** Occasionally, a dragonette wishing to learn more about the world finds a spellcaster or adventuring party to travel with, purely for the sake of learning or to acquire new sources of knowledge. Most parties enjoy the traveling light source and the abilities these companions bring to bear. A lantern dragonette avoids combat and uses its abilities only to escape or to defend its lair, family, and friends. \nA dragonette lives up to 30 years. A mated pair produces one clutch of two to five eggs every five years, and one parent raises the young dragonettes until they mature after a year and leave to search for their own lairs. A cloister of lantern dragonettes taxes their lair’s resources, so the other parent often ventures out to retrieve more candles.", "name": "Lantern Dragonette", "size": "Tiny", "type": "Dragon", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "lawful neutral", "armor_class": 13, "armor_desc": "natural armor", "hit_points": 28, "hit_dice": "8d4+8", "speed": { "hover": true, "walk": 15, "fly": 40 }, "strength": 7, "dexterity": 12, "constitution": 13, "intelligence": 16, "wisdom": 13, "charisma": 12, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": 3, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": 3, "charisma_save": 3, "perception": 3, "skills": { "arcana": 5, "history": 5, "nature": 5, "perception": 3, "religion": 5 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "", "damage_immunities": "", "condition_immunities": "paralyzed, unconscious", "senses": "darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 13", "languages": "Common, Draconic, Elvish, Primordial; telepathy 60 ft.", "challenge_rating": "1/2", "cr": 0.5, "actions": [ { "name": "Bite", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Several of these communities will usually cluster together, allowing members to move between groups as they get older.

Their simple equipment and straightforward living comes not from a lack of skill or knowledge, but their own isolationism and xenophobia.
