Chaos in Waychester First Sessions supplement

Master of the Pack's .... pack daemons.

DAEMON, SERVITOR: Defense: 17 Health Dice: 3d6 (12 health) AT: claws +3 (1d6) STR: +3, DEX: +0, MND: +0, SPD: +5, S: regenerate 1 health/minute unless attacked with silver weapons.

The pseudo-PCs won't have any silver weapons, of course. For that matter, neither will the regular PCs until AFTER it's over. But I'll let any attacks that go to -5 HPs call the daemons dead-dead even so.

The Master of the Pack himself will be a human veteran from the monster list with a few spells added.

MASTER OF THE PACK: Defense: 14 Health Dice: 3d6 (12 health) AT: weapon +3 (1d6), STR: +2, DEX: +2, MND: +2, SPD: +0

Cackling Breath of Moloch: A fan of flame shoots from caster’s mouth, doing 1 damage/caster level to all targets in the target area.

Withering Blast of the Lliogor: Creates a magical attack which automatically hits its target for 1d6+1 damage.

Breath of Cthulhu: Creatures within 20 foot cloud must succeed on a STR + level check or be unable to act for 1d4+1 minutes. Those unaffected must save every round they are within cloud.

Grip of the Bloodspawned: Allows the character to cling to walls and ceilings and crawl across them as easily as he can walk.

If for some reason you get involved in doing something non-combat with the Master of the Pack, you could also give him several non-combat spells, like Binding of the Poltergeist or Eyes of the Mi-go, etc.

The nuzzle-rat familiar with be represented by a cat with modified MND stats.

NUZZLE RAT: Defense: 12 Health Dice: 1d6 (4 health) AT: bite +1 (1d4) STR: -3, DEX: +4, MND: +2, SPD: +5, S: +3 to Subterfuge

Any additional people that the PCs might fight can just come off the basic human list.

HUMAN, BANDIT/SOLDIER: Defense: 12 Health Dice: 1d10 (6 health) AT: weapon +1 (1d6) STR: +2, DEX: +0, MND: +0 SPD: +0

The stats for a regular fighting man.

HUMAN, COMMON MAN: Defense: 11 Health Dice: 1d6 (4 health) AT: weapon +0 (1d6), STR: +0, DEX: +0, MND: +0, SPD: +0

The stats for a regular civilian.

HUMAN, VETERAN: Defense: 14 Health Dice: 3d6 (12 health) AT: weapon +3 (1d6), STR: +2, DEX: +2, MND: +2, SPD: +0

The stats for a more powerful fighting man, or captain.

The Third Cryptical Book of Hsan, which the Master of the Pack has, has the following stats:

Study Period: 1d6 days

Difficulty 19

MND damage: 1d3

Contains the following spells: Benevolence of Timar, Dormius Major, Sickly Illumination of Tuma, and Voice of the Ghost.

Yeah, those aren't combat spells, except for dormius major. But it's a great place to start if anyone wants to start collecting spells.
