the shadowfell who travel to its edges to evade their final
judgement.
Nature DC 15: The wretched are obligate pack hunters,
latching on to prey and draining it of life force, heedless of
their own safety. This reckless fervor often leads them to
charge headlong into quagmires and off of cliffs in pursuit of
prey.
The Wretched Tactics
The wretched mass in groups of 10-20 and surge directly
toward the nearest foe, choosing the next-closest foe only if
the closest is too surrounded to reach. They attempt to leap
or climb over obstacles, rather than seeking a path around
them.
The Lost Lore
History DC 15: The shifting landscape of the shadowfell
confounds even those who know its paths, and in the endless
mists travelers often succumb to fear and anxiety, entering a
state of panic from which they will never emerge.
Nature DC 15: Those in the embrace of one of the lonely
find themselves in a dreadful connuntrum, as any harm dealt
to their attacker has the potential to be reflected on them,
and shoving the lonely off can often inspire it to still greater
viciousness.
Nature DC 20: As with many of the sorrowsworn, the fears
that afflcit the lost seek to escape and take root in other
hosts. A creature able to sufficiently still its mind is capable
of rebounding this malign force upon the lost, though the
constant, terrible wailing makes this no small feat.

The Lonely Lore
History DC 15: Connection and understanding are in short
supply in the domains of shadow, and none feel the sting of
that more accutely than the lonely, some who are
transformed even in the midst of thriving settlements.
History DC 20: The lonely appear to experience intense pain
whenever creatures flee their presence, their wretchedness
often giving deadly pause to even the most hard-hearted of
shadow delvers.
Nature DC 15: While the extensible arms of the lonely can
be damaged and destroyed, the creature seems able to
produce replacements without effort or distress.
The Lonely Tactics
The lonely runs headlong into the greatest concentration of
enemies and attempts to grapple two of them, switching to its
Sorrowful Embrace once it has a creature grappled with each
arm. If enemies try to destroy its arms, it changes tactics,
instead using its Branching Barbs whenever it is available
and the lonely has two creatures grappled.
If a single foe tries to leave its reach, the lonely usually will
make an opportunity attack to grapple it and keep it from
doing so, but if multiple creatures seem to be triggering its
abandonment weakness it instead uses its Wretched Sobbing
to keep them from fleeing.

The Hungry Lore

History DC 15: Creatures do not die of deprivation in the
plane of shadow, but their appetites are not abated, and the
depths of hunger endured by its residents who lack ready
access to food are matched nowhere in the great wheel.
Some such denizens are themselvles consumed by this
hunger, and then are driven to consume all others, though
their appetite can never be even momentarily sated.
Nature DC 15: The ravenous frenzy of the hungry is further
provoked whenever a creature it can see is magically healed,
though such interventions are often required regardless, as
the hungry will happily swallow whole a wounded creature,
even one larger than it.
The Hungry Tactics
One often comes upon the hungry mid-gorging, though they
will always break off to pursue fresh prey. The hungry attacks
the creature with the most unexpended hit die, attacking with
its claws and then attempting to swallow it whole once it
drops. If the creature has no unexpended hit dice, the hungry
does not make a second attempt, instead going after
whichever creature now has the greatest number of
unexpended hit dice.
