The Nothic is a human that has submitted to the Rune of Abyss/Swallowed. They have an unspectacular body that has deteriorated with neglect, leaving them gaunt and dotted with open sores. From behind their head protrudes two large hands which cup around their forehead. When attacking, these hands unfurl to reveal a massive third eye embued with the Rune of Abyss/Swallowed. They use this third eye to learn the faults and flaws of those around them, which they will then spread to cause the subject of their ires ruin.

The Nothic hates itself above all others, and with a keen understanding of its own failures and misgivings, it seeks to find them in others. It then uses these inevitably found faults to justify the scorn it had already felt. The Rune it worships has sapped its strength and so in a twist of irony, the Nothic must rely on others to accomplish its vitriolic critique.

"It Knows" Action, Mid-range. The Nothic stares intently at one Player with its third eye. The Player must make a dc 14 charisma save. If the Player fails they take 1 point of stress and the Nothic can use "How to Kill..." for that Player.

"I Know What You Are..."  Action, Mid-range. The Nothic points and tells one Player a previously unknown fact about themselves. The Player must make a dc 14 charisma save. If they fail they take 3 points of stress damage. The Player also gains one backstory flaw. "You're a killer", "You're a traitor", "You're a coward", etc.

"Insidious Whispers" Conditional Bonus Action, Short-range. The Nothic whispers something to one ally, giving the ally a buff against the last targeted Player of "It Knows". The ally has +1 AC and +1 on ability saves on attacks from the targeted Player. The ally can also use its bonus action to force a dc 13 against the targeted Player's worst ability save. If the target fails, all attacks against the targeted Player from the ally have advantage for the round.

"Scramble Away" Bonus Action, Self. The Nothic moves 15ft. without provoking attacks of opportunity.
