Description

The Heralds of Whispers were once a group of half-elven adventures, but where tempted by Vecna before his ascension with promises of power and eternal life. Now ascended to god hood, Vecna upheld his end of the bargain. The Heralds are now un-aging agents of Vecna, loyal And unrelenting. While just echoes of the people they used to be, the Heralds still retain traces of the personality they once had.

Althaea was almost the most studious of the group, and now acts as their knowledge keeper and leader. Her plans are long, winding, and layered with secrets. Currently, Vecna plans to break down the barriers between plans to circumvent the divine gate, and Althaea follows his commands with obedience. The Heralds are opening portals across the material plane, allowing monsters to escape and crawl through. While adventurers are busy dealing with these beasts, the portals continue to grow and expand.

Tactics: The Whispered Mind is not interested in combat. As long as it is not taking more damage than it can heal, it does not pay attention to assailants. When it takes more damage than it can heal, it gets as far away as it can and continues what it is doing. Only when it cannot heal nor escape does it attack, in which case it prefers to render its foes inert, rather than attack them. When fighting mages, it will attempt to get 65 feet or more away from them and use slow to prevent possible counterspells. If there is more than one mage and they are not within range of each other, it will try and use gravity sinkhole to pull them towards one another then use its legendary actions to cast slow

 

It always saves a 7th level spell slot and its tome of the stilted tongue feature to cast teleport as a bonus action if it absolutely needs to escape.
