This item first appears to be a shuttered Huge sized wooden hut able to fit up to 7 Medium or smaller creatures inside along with a simple bed and table permanently affixed to the floor. After taking a long rest inside of it, you make a DC 20 Wisdom (Perception) check, seeing through the veil and revealing its true nature on a success— strange markings and other signs of witchcraft cover nearly every surface of the interior and it reeks of chicken effluent. There are 8 glowing runes on the table, each only half-illuminated. When you pass your hand over a rune, the energies inside respond and you can fully illuminate it or remove its glow entirely. When certain runes are illuminated, enormous chicken legs beneath the hut rise it up off of the ground. Baba Yaga’s Chicken Hut is a Huge object with the following statistics:
Armor Class: 21
Hit Points: 320
Speed: 50 ft. or swim 10 ft. (or 0 ft. if the legs aren’t extended) Damage Immunities: cold, poison, psychic
To be used as a vehicle, the hut requires one pilot. While the hut’s door and window shutters are closed, the interior is airtight and watertight. The interior holds enough air for 60 hours of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside.
The hut floats on water.
A creature in the interior can use an action to control the illumination of as many as two of the hut’s runes, and a bonus action to control a third. After each use, a rune goes back to its neutral position. Each rune, from left to right, functions as shown in the Baba Yaga’s Chicken Hut Runes table. If you are not attuned to any magic items and spend a week inside of Baba Yaga’s Chicken Hut, you can attune to it. The hut uses 2 of your attunement slots. Once attuned, you are always its pilot, and as long as you can see it you can use your bonus action to manipulate as many as 3 of its runes.
