Once the shame of Mohkba royalty, Baroness Grandaj rose to a rank worthy of some respect after being granted control of the misfits of the capital settled across the river in the town of Enixam. Now that her confidence has returned she seeks a means to permanently fix her misshapen features to something more pleasant, so eager to return to the Klavek Kingdom’s finest city that she quickly flies into a rage when one of her attempts falls short.

5E Rules

For the simplest, easiest to run encounter, use the Gladiator NPC with the following changes: AC 14 (natural), no spear attack or shield, rename shield bash to unarmed strike (retaining all statistics) and allow its use three times per round, no parry. [Mick Hand’s sensible suggestion! -MM]
