It bears a wicked gleam in its black eyes._ \n**Bad Bargains.** Quick and canny, a chort devil uses varied, pleasing forms to entice mortals to make terrible bargains, but it revels in its obvious devilishness. A chort wants its victim to know it is dealing with a devil. The relative straightforwardness of this approach enables the creature to better deceive those whom it bargains with. After all, the chort affirms, if the victim weren’t so desperate, he wouldn’t be bargaining with a devil. If necessary, an implied threat of immolation gives it greater bargaining power, but the creature is careful not to torture or otherwise harm its patsy, since that voids any potential contract. \n**Recitation of Contracts.** An annual spectacle in large cities involves some poor fool who believes he can trick a chort and escape a legal bargain. The devil appears and recites the entirety of the contract its victim signed, replete with embarrassing details about a dispatched rival, the ensnarement of a love who once spurned him, and other disclosures. A chort ensures all those entangled in its victim’s affairs are present to hear it, and it disappears once all the victim's dark secrets have been revealed. \n**Smear Tactics.** A zealous opponent of the chort often finds himself the victim of his own hubris, as the devil digs up or creates vile tales about its foe and brings his folly to light. A chort enjoys tarnishing the reputation of tools of good. For example, it may steal a paladin’s sword and use it to murder an especially pious person, leaving the sword in the victim. Thus, a chort dispatches a foe strongly resistant to its manipulations, brings suspicion to another potential foe, and taints a weapon—at least in reputation—which might be used against it.", "name": "Chort Devil", "size": "Medium", "type": "Fiend", "subtype": "devil", "group": null, "alignment": "lawful evil", "armor_class": 18, "armor_desc": "natural armor", "hit_points": 187, "hit_dice": "15d8+120", "speed": { "walk": 30 }, "strength": 24, "dexterity": 20, "constitution": 26, "intelligence": 18, "wisdom": 20, "charisma": 20, "strength_save": 11, "dexterity_save": 9, "constitution_save": 12, "intelligence_save": 8, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": 9, "perception": 9, "skills": { "athletics": 11, "deception": 9, "insight": 9, "perception": 9 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks not made with silvered weapons", "damage_immunities": "cold, fire, poison", "condition_immunities": "poisoned", "senses": "darkvision 120 ft., passive Perception 19", "languages": "Celestial, Common, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial; telepathy (120 ft.)", "challenge_rating": "12", "cr": 12.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The chort devil makes three melee attacks with its flaming ranseur, or three melee attacks with its claws." }, { "name": "Claw", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Either way, the drowned maiden awakens from death seeking vengeance.

She waits to pull the living to the same watery grave in which she is now condemned. A drowned maiden uses her disguise self ability to appear as in life. She silently beckons victims from afar, as if in danger of drowning. When within range, the maiden uses her hair to pull her victim close enough to kiss it. Victims soon weaken and drown.

Given the circumstances around their deaths, mylings tend to be solitary. They haunt the places where they died. When some tragedy resulted in multiple deaths, the resulting mylings stay together and hunt as a pack._ \n**Attack in a Rage.** Mylings prefer to attack lone wanderers, but they target a group when desperate or when there’s more than one myling in the pack. They shadow a target until after dark, then jump onto the target’s back and demand to be carried to their chosen burial ground. They cling tightly to a victim with arms and legs locked around the victim’s shoulders and midsection, begging, threatening, and biting until the victim gives in to their demands. Mylings will bite victims to death if they are unable or unwilling to carry them, or if a victim moves too slowly. \n**Ungrateful Rest.** While all mylings seek a creature to carry them to their final resting place, even when a chosen “mount” is willing to carry the myling, the creature’s body grows immensely heavier as it nears its burial place. Once there, it sinks into the earth, taking its bearers with it. Being buried alive is their reward for helping the myling. \n**Urchin Rhymes and Songs.** Some mylings maintain traces of the personalities they had while alive— charming, sullen, or sadistic—and they can speak touchingly and piteously. Dressed in ragged clothing, their skin blue with cold, they sometimes reach victims who believe they are helping an injured child or young adult. They hide their faces and sing innocent rhymes when they aren’t screeching in fury, for they know that their dead eyes and cold blue skin cause fright and alarm. \n**Undead Nature.** A myling doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.", "name": "Myling", "size": "Small", "type": "Undead", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "chaotic evil", "armor_class": 13, "armor_desc": "natural armor", "hit_points": 45, "hit_dice": "10d6+10", "speed": { "walk": 30, "burrow": 10 }, "strength": 15, "dexterity": 10, "constitution": 12, "intelligence": 10, "wisdom": 12, "charisma": 10, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": null, "perception": null, "skills": { "stealth": 4 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks not made with silvered weapons", "damage_immunities": "necrotic, poison", "condition_immunities": "charmed, frightened, poisoned, stunned, unconscious", "senses": "darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 11", "languages": "Common", "challenge_rating": "2", "cr": 2.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The myling makes one bite and two claw attacks." }, { "name": "Bite", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
