This fabled, eyeless monster of the dark forests is a tireless hunter. Once someone has made themselves its prey, it knows no rest and follows any track.
The Pursuant guards the sacred groves of the forests, and instantly knows when someone has stepped into one, no matter how many miles away it is. It will drop almost anything it is doing, and race headlong through the trees towards them, its powerful muscles carrying it in great bounds. The creature is actually blind, and detects creatures by scent and hearing. This means that canny woodsmen can evade it, for a time, by staying still and silent. Statistics: this muscled beast has no less than 8 Hit Dice, although tougher ones are known. They mercilessly pulverize a target with their enormous fists, striking with great strength, and fists the size of greatclubs. It listens expertly, although it can be fooled by distractions. A beast such as this has an Intelligence score equivalent to a young child, although it is far more lethal. Hooks: * A small child was found in the woods, having gotten lost and stepped into the sacred grove. Although it has been recovered, the parents know that the Pursuant is following it, and are desperate for aid. * A plague is striking the town, and the fungus needed to craft the cure grows only in the sacred groves. Someone must brave the ire of the Pursuant, and seek the necessary ingredients. (Originally posted on Game Masters Stash on 15 July 2018) Comments are closed.
