Wortlok, the Frothing Prophet

Adversaries Designed by Hack Shack Gaming • Art by John Latta

Adversary overview

A swollen, smiling evangelist of foam and rot, preaching unity through fermentation as their body bubbles and reshapes with every word.

Once the master brewer of the Last Round Table, in unlife he has curdled into corrupted devotion. Consumed by Doppelcrock’s Culture, Wortlok preaches a gospel of unity through fermentation, where individuality is dissolved and all are made “whole” within the vat. His voice chokes and bubbles in inhuman relentless fervor.

Features

Passives

  • Devouring Word

    When Wortlok makes a successful attack, the target must mark an Armor Slot without receiving its benefits (they can still use armor to reduce the attacks damage, if they have a slot left). If they can’t mark an Armor Slot, they must mark an additional HP.

  • Infectious Prayer
    fear 1

    Spend a Fear as Wortlok invokes the litany of the Culture. Waves of corruption spread to all enemies within Close range, which must make a Strength Reaction roll or become Infected.

    While Infected, they use a D8 for their Hope die. They remain Infected until they clear a Hit Point, rest, or mark 1 Stress to shake it off.

Actions

  • Rise Together
    stress 1

    Mark a Stress to clear 1 Hit Point from all oozes within Melee range, as Wortlok bubbles them up.
