Harpy

A monster originating from Greek mythology. Illustration by SaltyGoo.

Cursed vulture women. Harpies are stupid, hateful and cowardly. They will harass people for days, only killing them when they are finaly driven mad. Sometimes seen with a cyclops or reveling in the mysery of a donestre. A humanoid.

Imagine an human-sized vulture with the chest, arms and face of a woman. Its filthy face is distorded by a maniacal grin revealing needle-like teeth.

Attacks (1/round)

Hainous Rake. The harpy makes a melee attack (1D4 dmg). It can then either fly out of melee range or make another melee attack (1D4 dmg)

Punishing Shriek. The harpy makes a high-pitched scream. Every non-harpy living creature near it must save or be stunned on their next turn, and deafened for 10 minutes.

Cacophonous Torment. At least 4 harpies start singing in maddening discordant voices. All non-harpy living creatures that can clearly hear them are confused until the harpies stop.


Loot It

Most harpies have no desire for material possessions besides trinkets from their victims. If you brave the filfth to loot one, roll a D6, you find:

  1. Nothing
  2. Nothing
  3. Nothing. You catch Harpy Herpes.
  4. Couple of copper coins or trinkets not worth more than a mundane object!
  5. Dented-to-shit piece of armour. Could be repaired.
  6. A potion contaminated with Harpy Herpes
