It was a thin, stoop-shouldered man not much under six feet tall... His age was perhaps thirty-five, but the odd, deep creases in the sides of his neck made him seem older when one did not study his dull, expressionless face. He had a narrow head, bulging, watery blue eyes that seemed never to wink, a flat nose, a receding forehead and chin, and singularly undeveloped ears. His long, thick lip…

Medium Aberration, Chaotic Evil AC 15 Initiative +2 (12) HP 135 (18d8 + 54) Speed 30 ft.
Scores of tents are pitched among a few ramshackle wooden buildings in this rather pathetic attempt at a village. The bridge over the river known as Imeryd’s Run looks treacherous but holds under the foot traffic, horses, and heavily laden carts that pass over it. In almost a mockery of a typical village, all sorts of businesses, artisans, and craftsfolk are plying their trades and hawking their…
