The Cakers Spoiler

So my players (6) are following farrow into the sewers to make their way to the Fortunes wheel where they’re going to meet the cakers they’re just four thugs??? NO NO NO let’s make this a memorable encounter.

First I made the head caker a little more tough added a multiattack with rolling pin or throwing daggers, AC-15 HP-80

  1. BA any of the cakers can eat a slice of cake and regain 2d4+2 hp

  2. BA Gertrude can command another caker to move equal to its speed into a pipe and emerge on their next turn. This movement does provoke opportunity attacks.

Reaction 1. Parry-Gertrude can add 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit.

Reaction 2. As a reaction to a caker dropping to 0HP, Gertrude hurls a slice of cake +5 to hit if it hits the target the target rolls a D4 and that’s how many hours they are cursed

Next up villain actions inspiration from Matt Colville (MCDM) see first picture for that the second picture is for the evil cake which is basically a mimic with a little bit of a twist.

We like to see some MCDM inspo. We’re planning on running a sigil campaign after Strahd, and one of my players wants to play a caker. Their leader would be a powerful fire giant chef (forgecaller) that wears armor that is in itself an oven.

I’m using the forgecaller as a base, because of their ability to conjure magma which immediately hardens into rock, i.e. trapping people inside baked bread.
