Khehili was once a Warlock, but his own lust for power led him to be disavowed by the one who once gave him power. For years, he stumbled, adrift and bitter, and in a back alley after too many drinks, cut the throat of another warlock. Suddenly, power flooded through him once more, filling him with purpose and potency. But it faded all too soon, leaving him empty again.
Now, he is a predator- one who preys on others whose power is not their own. He has become a vicious serial killer, hunting warlocks and draining them of their power in order to fuel his own depraved hunger. KHEHILI, THE HOLLOW Medium-sized humanoid (Human), Neutral Evil Armour Class 13 Hit Points 58 (9d8+18) Speed 30 feet Str 12 (+1); Dex 13 (+1); Con 14 (+2); Int 14 (+2); Wis 9 (-1); Cha 16 (+3) Saves Wis +2, Cha +6 Skills Arcana +5, Deception +6, Stealth +5 Senses passive Perception 9 Languages Common Challenge 6 (2,300 XP) Hungry for Power. When Khehili reduces a creature that is a warlock to 0 hit points, he gains the following abilities for 1 hour. If the warlock returns to life, they lose all warlock abilities until they have completed 1d4 long rests.
ACTIONS Stealthy knife. Melee weapon attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4+2) piercing damage. If the target is unaware of Khehili or surprised by the attack, they take an additional 10 (3d6) piercing damage. Note that unless he has recently absorbed power from another warlock, Khehili is not magical himself, and cannot be detected by most magical spells. How you can use Khehili, the Hollow, in your game: - Khehili serves as a fine antagonist for a murder mystery. Once he has burned through his power, he seems to be just an old man with bad eyes, even to magical detection. However, he is a cunning and vicious opponent, and awaits an opportunity to ambush and steal power, stealing away as quickly as possible. - Khehili's ambition and cleverness might lead him to sponsor or encourage a cult of warlocks, allowing him to prey upon them at his own will. Rumours of an unstoppable spellcaster causing havoc and unleashing hellfire blasts might leave red herrings which could distract from Khehili or even the warlocks. - Khehili might pose as an ally, a mentor who lost his power and someone who could offer to help another warlock. Of course, he is only waiting for an opportunity to steal their power and escape, which might make him a memorable returning villain. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 7 September 2021.
