Hit: 6 (1d10 + 1) piercing damage.

Reactions 
Parry. Sir Duncan adds 3 to his AC against one melee attack that would hit him. To do so, he must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

Traits 
Undead Fortitude. If Sir Duncan is reduced to 0 hit points, he makes a Constitution saving throw with DC 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, he drops to 1 hit point instead.

Weapon Specialization. Sir Duncan wields a massive greatsword with deadly precision. He gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with it (included above).

Protector’s Duty. When a creature Sir Duncan can see attacks an ally within 5 feet of him (typically Prince Brannart), he can use his reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.

Defender’s Presence. Allies within 5 feet of Sir Duncan gain a +1 bonus to AC while he is conscious.

Poison Immunity. Immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition.

Legendary Bodyguard. If an ally Sir Duncan can see within 30 ft. would be reduced to 0 HP, he may immediately move up to half his speed and become the target of the attack or effect instead, taking the damage himself.

Legendary Actions

Sir Duncan can take 2 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Sir Duncan regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn. 

• Greatsword Attack. Sir Duncan makes one greatsword attack.
• Bodyguard’s Step. Sir Duncan moves up to half his speed toward an ally without provoking opportunity attacks.
• Menacing Glare. One creature Sir Duncan can see within 30 feet must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of him until the end of its next turn.

Notes 

• Sir Duncan, Undead Gallowglass, is from an alternate Glantri where Duncan's uncle and laird, Prince Brannart, has slain and raised his nephew to be a skeleton champion and bodyguard. Duncan retains a portion of his free will, despite certain familial and necromatic obligations that bind him to his Uncle, a Lich.
• Similar to his uncle, Duncan wears the cap and tartan colors of the McGregor Clan. Because he has now become a skeleton similar to Prince Brannart, some wonder if this is a clever ploy to confuse possible assassins. As skeletons, the two look very much alike. The differences come into play when one uses spells and the other draws a claymore.
•  Specialty is as a Gallowglass with special abilities that provide protection to target ally, typically to his hated liege, Prince Brannart.

Aquatic Trooper

 

Aquatic Trooper Elite

Medium Humanoid (Any), Any Alignment
Armor Class 16 (Sealed Combat Armor)

Hit Points 75 (10d8 + 30)

Saving Throws Dex +2, Con +3
Skills Athletics +4, Perception +5
Senses Passive Perception 15
Languages: Common
Challenge 3 (700 XP) | Proficiency Bonus +2 

ACTIONS
Multiattack.
The Aquatic Trooper makes two attacks with its Green Pulse Laser.

Green Pulse Laser. (Ranged Weapon Attack)
+4 to hit, range 120/360 ft., one target.
Hit: 8 (1d12 + 2) fire damage

Tactical Blade. (Melee Weapon Attack)
+4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 6 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage

TRAITS
Sealed Combat Armor.
The Aquatic Trooper’s armor is environmentally sealed and pressurized. It provides the following benefits: 

• Treated as Scale Mail (base AC 14 + DEX mod max 2 = 16 AC total)
• Allows full functionality and movement underwater
• Grants protection from environmental hazards like pressure, cold, and hostile water conditions (at GM discretion)

Targeting Visor (3/Day).
As a bonus action, the Aquatic Trooper can add 1d10 to its next attack or damage roll made with its Green Pulse Laser before the end of its turn.

Notes 

• Here is our first NPC post, in this case from the Science Fantasy genre, such as Rosefall, Aquatic Troopers Elite are human troops, typically found amongst imperial forces that specialize in underwater combat. Their suits provide a fair amount or protection and are immune to natural hazards such as pressure and natural cold (not magical cold).
• Carries a 'Green Pulse Laser' as green lasers work best in water. Standard and typically red or blue direct laser weapons take a Disadvantage when fired underwater as the habitat deflects the energy of those two spectrums. Troopers also have a tactical blade built into their suit for close combat.
• Elites will typically operate either independent or leading less experienced Aquatic Troopers (CR: 1/4) in groups of 2 or 3 supporting the Elite.
• Rebels countering these troopers typically have suits or spells to match underwater protection, but lack the same targeting optics that provide the elite troopers with a bonus d10 to their attack or damage rolls.

Notes 

• Hamiday Remzi is a Rashemi Cleric of Sune, also known as Lady Firehair. By following her goddess, Hamiday has devoted herself to the Love Domain and spells typically deal in healing and enthralling targets to her cause. Hamiday's essence of beauty and love is so great that when channeling the full force of her goddess power, most creatures are reluctant in attacking her.
• Is originally from the temple of Calimport, Hamiday has sailed, first to gnomish Lantan where she picked up Hugo Wittwicken and Hugo's water elemental familiar, Baron Spray, before arriving at a newly formed temple to Sune located in the untamed peninsula of Chult. She, Hugo, and a few others have landed at Port Nyanzaru.
• Her magical item is a Lute of Charming. She is an experienced lute player and can use the magics enchanted into the lute to attempt to charm those within hearing. She is so good at playing a lute that, with a Performance check, can avoid committing a faux pas if her Charm spell is successfully resisted.

Lower Caffery, The Lake City

 

Lower Caffery

Lower Caffery is an independent lake city that feeds into the River Shore that flows down to Haddonfield and the other city-states that make up the Free Rivers to the south. Unlike the city-states below that are controlled by a prince of a ducal senate, Lower Caffery is a free city with only an elected Lord Mayor and Guard Captain seeing to the day-to-day operations of the city. 

The city stands as a gateway to the northern valley, which is bordered on almost all sides by the Cloudtop Mountains. The lack of patrols and few fortified towns means the region is a haven for criminals, monsters, Polnezna Travelers, and a few farmsteads that are managed by hardy clans who have banded together to make their fortunes with as little interference for nobility as possible. A major attraction to the region is last homely valley that stands above the rest of the region, the township of Barrier Peaks and its famous Suspirium Hostel. Nobility and merchant lords from the Free Rivers like to take trips with retinues of guards and servants to holiday at the Hostel and in the town of Barrier Peaks, taking advantage of the natural springs that are said to offer medicinal and magical benefits. The existence of Barrier Peaks is why Lower Caffery can remain independent and prosperous. It supplies goods and luxuries from the south up to Barrier Peaks, and as different lords use the site for a holiday, none of them are comfortable with anyone house controlling the main supply point and connection to the south, they are content for Lower Caffery to be as it is, independent and relatively neutral.

Hallmarks 

• Visit the Ivory Tower - Chase Hightower's tavern, casino, and lounge of leisure filled with beautiful men and women of various ancestries to provide aid and comfort to travelers and holidaymakers.
• Lord Mayor Polson Selkirk is the current leader of Lower Caffery. His father, Drake Selkirk, is one of the first families to settle this region after making some money in the Free Rivers and decided to head north and abandon his original senate seat in one of the city-states. His Captain of the Guard is a former gladiator named Jannake Veltman, a female human who has been hardened by the arena and devoted herself to Mayor Selkirk.
• Need a guide and guard? A number of beastfolk, such as Bruinkin (Bearfolk), Wolvers (Wolverine Folk), and other hard figures offer to guide and protect travelers either heading to Barrier Peaks, or wanting to explore the North Valley.
• There is said to be a ruined keep in the Spiderwood Forest that is north and east of Lower Caffery. The forest in general is believed to be haunted by monsters, possibly drawn to the dark history of the keep.
• The Polnezna often trade in trinkets and amusements before heading south or temporarily settling in the wild country to hunt and live off for a period. They invite travelers and adventurers to share their fires for a time in exchange for a nominal fee.

• Lucrezia Shadowlock is a close friend, advisor, minor arcanist, and ultimately bookkeeper for Jaqueline 'Jackie' Early and Jackie's Purple Gang that operates out of Old Governor's Way and what is known as 'The Mansion' the taproom and burlesque house operated as a front for Jackie's operations in the lower quarter of The City. Lucrezia does the book for The Palms laundry service, The Joyhouse Parlor, and a few other businesses, but her primary office is at The Mansion.
• With high Persuasion and modest Insight, Lucrezia will act as a representative on behalf of her friend, Jacquelin. She travels in the city either by carriage or on foot, escorted by Sinori Brashblade, militant members of the Purple Gang, or a hired crew from the neighborhood. Lucrezia is known to use Disguise Self in order to hide her gnomish features and appear unassuming.
• Is dating a gnome named Leonard Oestryke. Him and Largo Oestryke are a pair of Gnomish rogues who are independent operators in the neighborhood who like to con and cat burglar. Their unsanctioned activities might wind them up in the Purple Gang's list of troublemakers to be dealt with, but for now, neither side are at odds, allowing Lucrezia to see Leonard on off-hours.

Notes 

• Increase Banewatch is the ex-husband of Elspetha 'Elspeth' Felmeter and Staniwick's father, whom he sired during a brief marriage-alliance with Elspetha, who was both a lover and rival for eldritch secrets. Even between lovers, there is a cost to share one's grimoire, and for Increase, that cost was a combination of reciprocal browsing of Elspetha's grimorie and carnal cohabitation.
• Like Staniwick and Elspetha, Increase's patron is one of the fiends from the Nether by the name of Mil'gaz, the Ruby's Talon. Mil'gaz is a Dreadlord formerly hiding amongst the Scarlet Crusade before being driven out by another of his kind and took up residence within the ranks of the Syndicate.
• Increase's bond with Mil'gaz is expressed by his 'Pact of the Blade.' Increase carries the rapier, Ruby's Kiss, which is both a magical rapier, and an arcane focus that channels his spells.

He runs a small junk shop under the protection of an Underbaron named Jaqueline Early who owns the local tap room.
• He is an associate with Jaquie Early's 'Purple Gang' which typically hosts female members with a few token males. Lat is one of the tokens, although he generally focuses on background support, rather than be a field agent.
• Carries a black powder 'Mouser Carbine' that is forged by the 'Mouser-Blacktail' clan. One of the few Ratfolk clans that competes in the gunsmithing field against the Dwarves, Gnomes, and Goblins. Mousers love their needle and bolt-action firearms, which Lat has made a few unofficial improvements on.

Notes 

• Priam Boilermaker is a Gnome Cognician, an Artificer who specializes in unlocking the psychic potential of the mind. To assist in charting this frontier, Priam, like other Cognicians, has built a Cerebral Helm that acts as his spellcasting foci and attractive headgear. It is unknown yet if the tiny satellite dish that sits on top is for show or provides some utilitarian benefit. 
• Is a gnome originally from Ironpiece in Bralspace. He is currently living on the estate of Lord Giles Blackwood on the planet of Oleander in a crystal sphere known as Gondal. Priam serves Lord Blackwood by being a combination of mechanical expert, from locks to steam engines, to showcasing his latest inventions that Priam believes will revolutionize the secrets of the mind.
• His other job, when not trying to build a second helm for Lord Blackwood's hunting mastiff to wear so that Priam can talk to 'Mayor Bruster' is helping Lord Blackwood gather unfiltered gossip by reading minds of party guests. Few people pay attention to gnomes in funny hats to guess that their minds might be read while either attending Lord Blackwood's party, or that the gnome attending Lord Blackwood has ulterior motive on behalf of his patron.

Notes 

•  Meepo the Third is the third generation of kobolds named Meepo—descended from the original who pulled himself out of a certain sun-deprived citadel, ventured into the reaches of Spelljammer, and eventually settled in a workshop on the Rock of Bral. There, Meepo the Second managed to meet a fellow kobold and have a son: Meepo the Third. It’s quite a legacy to live up to—from a backwater citadel on Faerûn to a thriving workshop in Low City, Rock of Bral.
• Like his father (Meepo the Second), Meepo is an Artificer who has built upon the draconic bloodline shared by all kobolds to explore arcane propulsion. What began as a pair of glider wings made by his father has evolved into a full arcane propulsion system. Meepo the Third’s specialty is being a Rocketeer.
• He currently serves as a crewmember aboard The Raquel’s Whelk—or simply The Raquel—a trading vessel captained by the open-minded gnome captain named Lini Leskobar. Meepo uses his propulsion pack to perform aerial sweeps over derelict vessels or other phenomena and assists with repairs around the Whelk.

Notes 

I decided to take my old 'Around the Horn' concept in a different direction. In my old AtH posts, I would take a single concept, typically a character, and express it with multiple systems. Since I've gone fully over to being a 5e fan, I wanted to take a single concept, typically a character, and using the same stats express them in different campaign settings. 

• On Azeroth... Slorn Banethorn is a member of the Bloodhoof Tribe originally out of the greater Barrens before he followed the Bloodhoof along with the Skychaser, Ragetotem, Runetotem, and other tribes to forming the Confederation of Tribes of Thunder Bluff in Mulgore. He is a Tauren Hunter and tracker that uses a customized Bilgewater Longrifle as his service weapon. One of the main custom features is that its the same firing action, sized for a Tauren.
• On Kyna... Slorn is a Minotaur (not Tauren) hunter and a tracker living in Thul'kar, outside of Port Kyna. Unlike most militant Minotaur, Slorn is an independent Hunter who uses a Poldark Brothers Longrifle, forged by Orcish gunsmiths out of Gorman's Junction after their exile into the Free States.
• In Both Universes... Slorn is a Hunter of the Beast Conclave. He fights in tandem with a trained beast, in both cases a swoop or raptor-class bird named Moya as his eyes in the sky and striker while he fights at a distance.
• On Azeroth... Slorn is mated to Sallie Aaoto, whom he met when both were working along the Windshear Trail in the Stonetalon Mountain area, working with the Horde to deal with Grimtotem rebels, harpies, and Alliance infiltration. Slorn kept Sallie safe when her fear of spiders overtook her and both Tauren competed in tests of marksmanship with both bow and gun.
• On Kyna... Slorn is dating Sallie, whom he met as the two were adventuring with a human rogue named Piosenna, who in interested in exploring the ruins around Illefarn Keep that most patrols made of human or minotaur tend to avoid.
• On Azeroth... he is able to ride the massive kodo that are native to both the North Barres and Mulgore region.
• On Kyna... he, like most minotaur, generally move dismounted. Many minotaur further train their endurance in order to march further in a day and cover more ground.

Notes 

• Lilah Felmeter is a gnome wizard and is the current wife of Staniwick 'Stan' Felmeter. She met Staniwick when he was adventuring with the Obsidian Falcon Crew (OFC) and both his party and Lilah's were raiding the same dungeon complex. She had been sent by her fellow party members to try and pump Stan for information and the two ended up becoming lovers.
• Favors conjuration magic. She is researching the ability to conjure and build 'pocket planes' within the Astral Plane in order to conduct research, store things, and just enjoy the quiet of the astral void in the safety of a floating castle on the astral plane. She is eagerly looking into whatever arcane lore she can find in the Free States about the matter.
• She is pregnant with Staniwick's child, which is a factor in her decision to go out an adventure on the regular. For now, she has remained 'benched' and has sent Staniwick out to try and grab more lore books for her to study at their home.

Notes 

• Staniwick Felmeter. A male gnome of what was supposed to be a female-only coven known as the 'Felmeter Witches'. It turns out his mother, Elspetha Felmeter, paid the price by seeing such a slick warlock as Increase Banewatch by producing a boy instead. Being the son of two talented Warlocks, Staniwick followed the same path, first studying under his mother, and then briefly with his grandmother, Ezma Felmeter, when he and his mother were on the outs.
• His 'tinkering' has focused on his innate talent for sewing and weaving which translated to tailoring. He has operated as a traveling tailor under the banner of his business 'Felmeter Fabrics.' He is torn about creating a permanent store in one of three ports that are part of the Known World.
• Is divorced from Nexia 'Nexie' Netherspark. His current wife is Lilah Felmeter. Gnome wizard and one of the few gnomish women willing to take the last name of her husband. A gift from his father is that he managed to get both women pregnant.

Port Kyna, The Seaport

 

Port Kyna 

Port Kyna is our first location as part of our setting. Originally known as the Seaport, Port Kyna is a major port that sits in the Free States, a buffering state that separates the Kingdom of Moonrae (The North) and the Kingdom of Sunrae (The South) in the aftermath of the Great War. To discourage future leaders of the greater kingdoms to try and invade one another again, the dregs and exiles from their lands were expelled into the Free States. If one was to try and unite the Free States into a single nation, they could become a powerful ruler and rival any of their neighbors. The task makes this a big 'if'.

Port Kyna is, naturally, a seaport founded by northern sea traders who were putting roots down in what was once simple fishing villages. Port Kyna was one of  several natural deep water harbors that encouraged growth after this first founding by these traders.

During the Great War, the city had served as headquarters for the North's expeditionary forces, requiring the walls to reinforced and greatly expanding the city. Warring in the lands drove a number of refugee families into the city's North and Eastling Quarters, giving rise to criminal gangs and resistance movements that sought to either throw off Northern Rule, or working on behalf of Sunrae spymasters to destabilize the city and allow the South to enter the city. Despite their best efforts, the city never fell, but the peace created by the Sun-Moon treaty was followed by a major evacuation of the city by northern lords and other notables. The city was left to the residents who for whatever reason were branded and could not return, or those that decided to keep what they had and remain in the Free States.

Hallmarks 

• Among several districts in Port Kyna is Starfish Island. This natural island was built up as a series of townhouses and private jetties for the city's notables. Today wealthy sea captains now lodge in comfort to homes that once belonged to northern lords. The Triton, Lysander Aquantus, owns a townhouse closest to the water as he likes to take his private boat out and swim in the deeper waters.
• The City is controlled from the offices located at Government Square, including the Blue Palace. Lord Mayor Byron Vanderboren currently lives in the palace and administers the city. He answers to a council of notables that form the Council of the Invited - The Port Kyna Senate.
• Where to shop? Most townie shopkeepers and tradesmen prefer spaces in The Plaza. During the Great War, Port Kyna had constructed a series of walls that protect the old Fairgrounds and have allowed the Traveler Caravans, the Polnezna, to continue operating at the Fairgrounds. There is also the waterfront market over in the Docks District and the Bywater Market that imports luxury goods located on Starfish Isle. The very latter requires one to be a resident, or accompanied by a resident to utilize.
• South District is a working class district, notably the servants and marketers who take the bridge over to Starfish Island. It is also home to the Sapphire Tower where the Port Kyna Mage's Guild is located.
• The Gnomish Embassy, which originally represented the gnomish enclave of Farli, is located in Government Square (or the Square). The embassy does open its door to other groups as gnomes are often an open and generous people. It is managed by Boddynock Stotch. Formerly of Seraphine, located on the distant Isle of Nordwood before a number of adventures landed him in Port Kyna and his current job as an ambassador.
• While other regions of the Free States have accepted security from the Elvish-based mercenary company, 'The Exiles,' Port Kyna is protected by a combination of the City Guard and the Ironhorns Brigade, a minotaur based force out of nearby Thul'kar (known as Hillside by non-Minotaur).
