Child of Inpewt

Children of Inpewt

Creatures crushed by a Zerzura town landing resurrect as powerful revenants that retain their former abilities and hunt every transferred resident and the caster.

Story so far

When Zerzura drops a town onto monsters, mercenaries, or other living targets, every casualty rises immediately as a Child of Inpewt. These fast, strong revenants preserve the original creature's spells and special abilities.

All inhabitants of the transferred town and the spell's caster receive a mark. The Children pursue them without stopping, and any marked victim they kill becomes another revenant. They vanish only when every villager and the caster is dead, making the landing's initial body count the seed of an escalating hunt.

Appearance

A powerful revenant version of the crushed original creature, retaining its equipment and supernatural traits.

Role

The Children turn a rescue teleport into a prolonged, contagious survival crisis designed for spectacle.

Relationships

Zerzura — The spell creates them from landing casualties.
The Changeling Hideout — Its residents will be marked when their town transfers.
Sledge — As caster, he will also be marked.
Remex — His prior casts unleashed them across multiple floors.
