Description
The Bloated Baba takes on the appearance of an old, chubby woman and plays an essential role in the Jippy society, with her ability to quickly populate a potential new hideout or base of operations like a cave, an abandoned building, a burrow in the woods and many more. For that reason alone, when a village finds out about the appearance of a new baba lair, they immediately send people to eradicate it before it gets out of hand. They typically wear dresses of all sorts of colors, usually adorned with flowers they pick from forests and fields when they are scouting for a new lair. They speak Jippy and can actually mostly understand common, but they don't speak it often, either because they can't or simply because they don't want to.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Baba's Lair could be anything that is a large enough empty space that is relatively safe and has not yet been infested with Jippies. The two most common Lair locations are caves and abandoned buildings respectively. The Baba will use that place to bring about as many Puradei as possible as soon as possible. She is usually escorted to the Lair from a Jippy outpost, village or town by a small group of 4-5 Puradei.
Crystal Orb. Upon entering a Baba's lair, she may roll a INT check of 15 or higher to see into her Crystal Orb and gain the ability to see your exact location. Doing this action while in combat requires the use of an action.
Call. If the Baba knows of the presence of hostiles in her lair, she may call upon every Jippy in the lair to protect her, making them hostile towards the intruders. While other types of Jippies may choose to ignore the call, a Puradel will always answer. If a Puradel were to try to defy the order, they must roll a WIS save of 18 or higher.
