High Fantasy

Entangled Souls

Njord

Consciousness may be shared or preserved: Integration is permanent; death is optional.

Author's Note: Step into Armiron, where consciousness is currency and your Φ shapes destinies. Ancient forests murmur with sentient thought; city‑minds pulse with shared memory. Will you defend individuality as a Severant or surrender self to the Integrated? Every ritual, every alliance tests the price of unity—and the meaning of free will. MAJOR FACTIONS • Severants (preserve selfhood; mnemonic rituals) • Integrated (shared minds; empathy at cost of freedom) • Liminal Court (arbiters of balance; secret agendas) KEY FACTS & FEATURES • 45 distinct locales: from the silent anti‑Φ sanctuaries of the Thoughtless Hall to the humming chaos of the Fracture Docks. • 8 boss encounters: Keeper of the Ash Gate, Decayed Guardian, Harbinger of Doom, and more. • Φ mechanics: measure or manipulate Φ to merge minds, erase pain, amplify collective power—or defend against forced integration. • Moral axis: isolation vs unity, with complex shades in between. PLAYSTYLE OPTIONS • Intrigue & Investigation: infiltrate the Red Ledger House, decode inverted sigils, unearth Court plots. • Exploration & Survival: brave the Ash Gate’s realm of regret; gather ancient stones, wind‑whispers, sky‑tears. • Combat & Ritual: wield Φ‑imbued blades, duel Decayed Guardians, perform healing or shattering rites. • Roleplay & Philosophy: debate free will vs determinism, parley with a god‑mind, decide who controls consciousness. GM TIP Start with Generate Areas and Generate Points of Interest switched off to ensure the campaign doesn't drift off into generic fantasy story-telling that doesn't relate to free will and consciousness.

Actions

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d8 + 10) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature grappled by the kraken, that creature is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the kraken, and it takes 42 (12d6) acid damage at the start of each of the kraken's turns. If the kraken takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the kraken must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the kraken. If the kraken dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Fling

One Large or smaller object held or creature grappled by the kraken is thrown up to 60 feet in a random direction and knocked prone. If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.

Lightning Storm

The kraken magically creates three bolts of lightning, each of which can strike a target the kraken can see within 120 feet of it. A target must make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Multiattack

The kraken makes three tentacle attacks, each of which it can replace with one use of Fling.

Tentacle

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 18). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. The kraken has ten tentacles, each of which can grapple one target.
