Ragitsu Posted October 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Cruchoke (CREW-choke...a portmanteau of "cruel" and choke") is an unseelie faerie sprite. He considers himself an autocrat of asphyxiation. Indeed, in addition to the ability to cast Cloudkill, he has learned how to summon a Stinking Cloud to prolong the suffering of those who violate his domain.Years ago, Cruchoke attacked a traveling circus troupe that dared to venture into the woods in hopes of securing a shortcut. With the troupe was a great cat (I am still deciding on the species, but it will likely be a Tiger). During the struggle, he freed the cat while invisible in order to foment chaos. Unbeknownst to him, the beast had been mistreated by its owners; it wasted no time attacking the abusers. Before all of the members were slain, one wicked blow was landed on the cat's face by the troupe's leader, inflicting a permanent scar. Having decided he enjoyed the savage prowess of this feline being turned on its master, Cruchoke intervened and killed the man before the human could do more harm.Having sensed the scent of its liberator, the animal looked around randomly for the invisible sprite. Finally coming to the conclusion that he had found a new powerful ally, Cruchoke revealed himself (well out of range of the cat's paws and up in a tree where a leap would be halted by intervening branches). Seeing that it responded positively to his presence with a subdued growl as it calmly sat down, he loosed a raspy laugh and said "Very good, my striped friend. Forget your old life and your old name. You will have a chance to be free among the trees, to soak your tongue in much blood. Your new name is...Pawply."(Paw-PLEA).From that day forward, Cruchoke has tended to Pawply - treating him far better than even his unseelie brethren - and taken him on many hunts where the sprite sets up ambushes in concert with the tiger. Whenever Pawply is injured, Cruchoke is careful to treat the wounds with healing supplies he's gathered from numerous adventurers. Though he has worked to cultivate a trusted bodyguard, a deep and curiously untainted part of him genuinely cares for the creature.--- --- ---That's all I have so far. I was considering making Cruchoke an on-and-off ally of Malarites in the region. They tolerate the sprite because he informs them of sapient beings away from his territory that are worth chasing down and he puts up with the presence of these interlopers because they (in the guise of innocent villagers/travelers) occasionally direct traffic his way. It is a "You scratch my back and I keep my claws out of your back" sort of arrangement.P.S. Which do you prefer: Cruchoke or Crushoke/Crueshoke? Phonetically, "Crueshoke" sounds highly similar to "Cruchoke", but it isn't as deliciously and obviously evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certified Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 New Ways to Explore the World of Metahumans Rising! Each month House Dok Productions releases an adventure seed on the main website. These are short adventures, which typically run a single session or two.

Starting this week we are rereleasing some of our most popular adventure seeds through Drive Thru RPG, and Itch. Each rerelease will be updated in PDF format, and laid out for easy reading. Our first offering: Tools of the South! Help rescue a kidnapped child, and stop a home grown terrorist cell. This is the first story in what we are calling the Iron Cycle, a series of adventures that explore the Eisenreich, a secret organization devoted to world domination. Download the adventure for free: https://housedok.itch.io/tools-of-the-south https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/414606/Tools-of-the-South--A-Metahumans-Rising-Adventure?affiliate_id=285666 Check out the original here: https://housedok.com/tools-of-the-south/ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Metahumans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
