Before any of them can ask what is happening, they re teleported to some sort of astral chess board. None of the party will be on the board, but will be just besides it. On the other side of the board is the sharply dressed fey person. The fey will tell them that an "anonymous benefactor" [ie a villain] has hired them to take of the protagonists out. But due to the fey being a bit trickster, they have decided to torment the players.

Here's one for you Dm's that want either a nifty side quest, or a campaign that is based around fake combat. War, war is investable for the time period... so why wait? Let's have ourselves a fake civil war, so that we all can get ready for the real thing! All of us will take some units (How we split them up will be a debate) & once we got that done, let's see which one of us will win. We already got some non-combat spells that we can say are the real thing & I'm sure we would all be fine using sticks instead of swords, axes, hammers, & arrows. [Side quest version] But let's make this a bit more... interesting. How about, who ever comes out on top of this game, get's one weeks worth of pay from every loser that's in it.

This person swore vengeance against the party,  against a specific player in the party. They now dedicate their lives to stop them. But sadly for them, they are nowhere near the skill level of the party & always seem to be two steps behind.

Most of the time when a hydra has one of it's heads cut off, it will die, however on rare circumstances it will live on & become a hydra head. This hydra head can't reform into a hydra body, but can still form into a head with stubby legs & a tail. It's kind of cute looking, misusing the fact that it's still pretty hostile.

Here's one for you DM's that want a  spacy treasure. Description: A piece of rock that came from one of the moons in the galaxy. It's cold & dusty, so it's probably a good idea to keep it in a container that doesn't decay it.

Maybe something hit the moon & it happened to get back to the planet. Material Value: This rock is worth a good bit to any geologist, & or people who are just interested in space. Other people will still pay a not as good bit for this. Magical Value: This rock can enhance spells that deal with gravity, besides that it can be used as part of a component in spells.

Here’s one for you DM’s that want an interesting encounter. The players are walking about a swampy area, when they start smelling the delicious aroma coming from a deeper part. If they go & investigate it, they will find three swamp hags making a pot of soup. Soon enough a fourth hag will come out dragging a knocked out halving & an equality as knocked gnome behind her. She will then go to open the pot & try to put them in. If the players chose to intervene & not allow these ladies to use the two for their soup, they will have to fight them. If they win, the two will wake up shorty after, & be confused as what happened. Soon one of them will get hungry & check the soup, & after a bit of investigation, they will deem the soup “mostly edible” & start to dig in.

Once there was a trickster, a trickster so tricky that when they died, they used a form of mirror magic to creat a vast swarm of his own soul. That soul has become what is now know as a devious soul. All of them tend be the same, with just a bit of verity in what tricks they play. Most tricks in themselves sarn't deadly, but come at times when people really don't need it. A trickster soul tends to follow people they wish to trick, till they get board of tricking them & or until there soul is threatened. Due to the oddities of mirror magic, this enemy can't deal any damdge to their targets (atleast not directly) Stats Cr: 1/6 Hp: 20 Ac: 16 Str: 6 Dex: 18 Con: 16 Int: 14 Wis: 8 Cha: 6 Movement: 30 feet Ability:   -Incorporeal: can pass though object as if they were rough terrain. melee attacks hit at a disadvantage against them  -Active:...
