Blood and Voices, this creature seems to lure its prey in with a beautiful song before it either sucks the blood from your veins or manages to steal there voice as they shout for help.

Chaotic Evil

Temperament

Chaotic and evil are the understatement of a lifetime from my experiences with this creature. At first I saw a giggly young scholar woman traveling alone, then as I got bolder and stepped closer the creature aged to this elderly mother like appearance. Once I reached out, the creature seemed to begin laughing and singing. Lured in, it was only as her singing stopped and the large teeth came to bare that my mind broke free. Thankfully I was to scared to scream, escaping before she could devour me whole as she did several knights. She then laughed, belched out a bronze chest plate and continued walking on her way. Singing a lovely tune as if she was going to the market.

Classes

20 Battle Dancer, 10 Fey Bard, 10 Unseen Seer.

Special qualities

Stolen View:
Said to be an ability only of this creature, once devouring either the blood or stealing a victims voice, the creature can replicate them perfectly. As if a DC 150 Sense motive or Search to see the difference between this creature and the real being. They also seem to be able to use all of there spells and abilities as if there own, and seem to recall any strong memories of the victim.
This creature should also be assumed to have spell and damage resistance, as most spells under a fourth degreed wizard are almost ineffective.

Known Weaknesses

Alchemical silver seems to be the main weakness of this creature as it ignores damage of almost any other type completely. Even knights struggled to cut down this creature.

Unique Spells

Genus Mutatio:
A spell designed to change the casters gender to confuse the body and break concentration of the target. This spell acts as if a true polymorph to whatever gender the caster chooses, however if the target is the same gender, the spell has no effect.

Known Magic items

The Moaning Castle Crafter:
Said to be an artifact with a demon trapped within it, this strange small marble caslte seems to transform the ground around you as you use it. At all times, it gives forth a baleful moaning sound, as if in pain. Despite the noise, The Moaning Castle Crafter is not evil. The wielder of the figurine can, three times per day, call upon it to reshape earth and stone as if by the spell stone shape, affecting 8,000 cubic feet of material. The Moaning Castle Crafter can summon an elder earth elemental with maximum hit points that serves the caster until it is slain. Only one such elemental can be summoned at a time; if it is slain, a new creature cannot be summoned for 24 hours.

Harvestable Materials

Elemental Air Essence, Doppelganger Blood, Doppelganger Face, Doppelganger Brain.

History

Believed to be the first of the Conwyn family, a notorious fey family who would come to power long before our time. And later fall, long before our time. It is my belief that this creature was the first member and the mother of the fey queen herself. Though the story goes that the Conwyn's unified the fey lands peacefully after the fall of the first fey queen. The actual truth is that Merrytale would go on a rampage wiping out multiple powerful fey families that had built up there own courts.
Not dissimilar to Ogerron Grunaga in her mentality of other fey nobility. Merrytale would gain her name for the music that she is cursed. A music that is said to have played wherever she went, and as a consequence for killing her kin. As it is believed that the house of Conwyn or rather Court of Conwyn had blood ties to each of the noble houses. As Merrytale slew them, she broke a singular rule of the fey lands, do not slay thy kin. Thus cursed, she would be forced to not only carry The Moaning Castle Crafter upon her neck forever more. But as well have her mood portrayed by a constant music, with many noting the classical genre playing whenever she would arrive and begin her slaughter. Almost as if at peace with the death she brought, The Sanguis Musician would be born and create a reputation powerful enough to render fey courts to shatter from the fear of fighting against her.
Now she resides deep within the fey lands, in a portion even I find myself wary to travel. Though I should warn, by no means is she trapped. Preferring the darkened abyss of the unexplored feywilds to her own family. At any time, I do fear she may return to once again seek bloodletting upon the fey realms.
