Resolute Foes: Mythical Creatures



Updated March 9, 2022
 
Dragon of Morning (Young Adult)
(Fabled 3) Attack 11 | Defend 11 | Focus 10 | Resolve 10
Flight; Immunity to lightning; Any dragon Attack deals +1 damage on a Defend result of 7 or less.
Each round, roll 1d6 to see how a dragon Attacks that round:
1-2 (bite); 3-4 (2 claws); 5 (tail swipe); 6 (breath weapon)
The bite deals 2 damage.
Claws deal 1 damage each (Attacks twice).
Breath is a cloud of gas affecting all in close range; deals 1 damage and stuns for 1d6 rounds.
The tail swipe deals 1 damage to all in medium range.
These noble creatures are up to 40’ long and have shimmering silvery scales; they live for thousands of years amid hills or rocky areas. Their hoard is very likely to contain a relic alongside wealth measured in the thousands of coins (2d6x1000).
 
Dragon of Elder Flame
(Legendary 4) Attack 13 | Defend 12 | Focus 12 | Resolve 13
Flight; Immunity to Flame; Any dragon Attack deals +1 damage on a Defend result of 8 or less.
Each round, roll 1d6 to see how a dragon Attacks that round:
1-2 (bite); 3-4 (2 claws); 5 (tail swipe); 6 (fire breath)
The bite deals 2 damage.
Claws deal 1 damage each (Attacks twice).
Fire deals 3 damage to all up to medium range straight line.
The tail swipe deals 1 damage to all in medium range.
These terrible lizards are up to 50’ long, live for thousands of years, and can lay waste to entire nations. A dragon’s hoard always contains at least 1 relic alongside unbelievable wealth, measured in the thousands of coins (2d6 x1000).
 
Medusa Handmaiden
(Fabled 3) Attack 10 | Defend 11 | Focus 11 | Resolve 8
The hideous medusa attacks to medium range with a bow or in melee with her snake hair or dagger; if she hits, check Defend (CR 10) or suffer +1 poison damage. Every round, check Focus (CR 11) on your action, before you Attack. If failed, you suffer 1 damage as you edge closer to looking at the Medusa. When you reach Resolve 0, you make eye contact and are turned to stone. Use the solitaire framework to determine if you are ever freed; at least 1d6 years will pass (if ever) before another hero slays this Medusa, and it is possible your statue may have been broken by then.
This hideous snake-haired female lures heroes into her lair.
 
Naga of Emergent Darkness
(Fabled 3) Attack 11 | Defend 11 | Focus 12 | Resolve 10 
Every round it gets both a bite and spell effect. Bite deals 2 damage on Defend of 8 or less; if bite succeeds, Poison for +1 damage on a failed Defend (CR 11). Attacks with stun or impair defense in alternate rounds. Either forces the living creature within medium range to check Defend (CR 12); impair defense forces -1 to Defend for 1 turn (will not drop below -1 total); stun forces Defend checks to be rolled at disadvantage and at -1 while stunned.
These monstrous snake-like creatures have hideous human-like faces.
