Creature Incarnations: Get'cher Brains Here!

[Rechan]

Not a coincidence.

Well yes, I gathered that. But I'm saying that the Allip's fluff isn't attached to the Mad Wraith, so I had to preface that.

I noticed something in the Slavering Maw's tactics section. I thought the zombie-spawning thing was the various stitched-together zombie parts tearing themselves free. But in the last sentence of the tactics section says the Charnel zombies it creates when it dies are its most recent meals!

Which makes me think "Wait, why aren't the most recent meals clawing at the PC in the thing's gut? And would close attacks not wound them?" Of course, attacking the minions in the gut wouldn't be very fun.

I also wonder how many creatures the thing can swallow. It doesn't say.

Sidenote: I wouldn't spring a mad wraith, or really, any wraiths - on a party without SOMEONE who could do radiant damage. That's just cruel.

I believe your initial interpretation was correct. I think the "most recent meals" alluded to would be the players, which are freed when the thing is killed.

I love the Creature Incarnations articles...and it just so happens my players are going to be heading into a tomb tonight. Heh heh heh...

Perfect miniature for the slavering maw.
