Actions

Gearblade. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage.

Clockwork Lash. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) bludgeoning damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 10 feet toward Brass-and-Bone.

Bonus Actions

Measured Advance. Brass-and-Bone moves up to half his speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Legendary Actions

Assess. Brass-and-Bone makes an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Insight) check.

Gearblade. Brass-and-Bone makes one Gearblade attack.

Command the Ledger (Costs 2 Actions). One creature Brass-and-Bone can see within 30 feet must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn as spectral chains of written contracts bind it.

Investigation +7
Persuasion +5

Description

Brass-and-Bone is a unique hybrid construct-undead: a skeleton whose missing bones and cracked skull have been repaired with polished brass clockwork gears. His exposed mechanisms turn with quiet precision beneath a formal merchant's coat.

Equipment

Brass-inlaid coat, clockwork ledger, signet of the merchant guild, two brass gearblades

Hook

Brass-and-Bone offers the adventurers a lucrative contract to remove a pirate fleet, concealing a clause that would place the port's docks under guild ownership.

Motivation

He represents a wealthy merchant guild that wants to control the port's shipping lanes, believing monopolized trade will bring order and prosperity.

Personality

Cold, calculated, and intensely polite, he treats every conversation as a negotiation and every promise as enforceable currency.

GM Notes

- Fights defensively, using Clockwork Lash to control positioning.
- Prefers contracts, bribes, and legal pressure before violence.
- His guild may be an ally, rival, or future patron depending on the party's choices.
