Using This Compendium

↑ Contents

This compendium lists every creature currently available to both Escape the Bleak Forest and Bleak Forest: Hail Three Wyrd Sisters. In Escape the Bleak Forest, creatures are met through the Danger Die and the encounter tables in Playing the Game. In Hail Three Wyrd Sisters, the natural roster continues alongside the Abrikoth and their servants. Stat blocks apply unchanged in both games.

Every stat block is built from the same rules, set out below, so the you can build new creatures the same way.

Reading a Stat Block

Field	Meaning
BAM!	The difficulty to hit, influence or otherwise act against the creature. A creature with Might never has a BAM! below its tier minimum.
Frequency	Common, Uncommon, Rare or Exotic. Matches the encounter table the creature appears on; Exotic creatures appear only by scenario or by the Narrator’s choice.
Type	Creature category; sets shared traits (see Creature Types).
Size	Physical scale; sets the Corpus and Vitality modifiers (see Size).
Number	How many appear together.
Corpus / Anima / Spiritus	Dice range with the norm (the typical score) in brackets. Corpus already includes the Size modifier.
Vitality	The norm creature’s Vitality, with its working shown.
Might	The creature’s Might, its tier, and the attribute it applies to.
Armour	Armour Rating.
Disposition	Default attitude toward the characters (Hostile, Wary, Curious, Friendly, Helpful).
Move	Tactical movement rate, with Flight, Swimming or burrowing where it has them.
Attacks	Attacks per round and their damage.
Skills and Abilities	Special rules, named attacks and traits (see Common Traits).
Loot	What the creature yields; harvesting checks use Wits (Survival) unless stated.
Notes	Behaviour, tactics and narrative hooks.

Building Rules

Vitality. Vitality = 12 + Size Vitality modifier + Corpus, Anima and Spiritus modifiers (Character Rules attribute table) + Toughness. The minimum is 1. The 24-point Vitality cap applies only to player characters; creatures have no cap. A Mindless creature (Anima and Spiritus of 1) adds no Anima or Spiritus modifier. An Incorporeal creature has no Corpus and no Size modifier: its Vitality is 12 + Anima and Spiritus modifiers + Toughness.

Scores above 18. Use the Character Rules modifiers:

19–20 +5
21–22 +6
23 +7
24 +8
25 +9
and +1 for each point above 25

Might. Might = the highest attribute score − 18.

Tier I (Imposing) is Might 1–4
Tier II (Dread) 5–7
Tier III (Primordial) 8+

Might effects apply only to the attribute that has it. The tier also sets a minimum BAM!:

Difficult (16) at Tier I
Challenging (19) at Tier II
Formidable (22) at Tier III

See Might in Character Rules.

Attacks. A creature’s second and later attacks in a round follow the successive-attack steps in Playing the Game. Each level of the Multiple Attacks trait removes one step (see diminishing returns).

Recovery. Unless noted otherwise, creatures regain Vitality as characters do: 1 point per Tick of undisturbed rest.

Morale. Unless an entry says otherwise, a creature reduced to 0 Vitality makes an Anima save, Average (13), or flees. A group makes the same save when it takes its first casualty and again when it has lost half its number (Playing the Game). Giants make these saves at Moderate Advantage.

Size

Size	Corpus modifier	Vitality modifier	Height or length	Weight
Tiny	−2	−8	0.25–0.75 m	0.5–3.5 kg
Small	−1	−6	0.75–1.25 m	3.5–30 kg
Medium	+0	+0	1.25–2.5 m	30–225 kg
Large	+1	+6	2.5–5 m	225 kg–2 t
Huge	+2	+12	5–10 m	2–15 t
Gargantuan	+5	+18	10–20 m	15–125 t
Colossal	+7	+24	20 m +	125 t +

The Corpus modifier is added to the creature’s Corpus dice and norm; every stat block in this compendium already includes it. The Vitality modifier is added to Vitality.

Creature Types

Animal. Creatures of the natural world. They have no innate magic and can feel but are not self-aware. Anima is usually 1–12 and dispositions are usually Wary or Curious. Animals with Anima above 1 can be influenced with Guile and can become Soul Bound.

Demonic. Malevolent spirits from hellish planes who torment, tempt and corrupt mortals and treat all other life as something to toy with and discard. All have True Names and can be summoned, banished and bound with Conjuration. Most are harmed fully only by cold iron or magic.

Draconic. Large, intelligent, highly magical reptiles. Dispositions vary, but all are avaricious: a draconic creature will negotiate if offered enough treasure (treat it as Curious at minimum unless provoked). Shared traits: Armour I or better; Immunity to mundane flame; Keen Sight. Draconic creatures with Corpus 19+ have Might.

Elemental. Sentient beings made of the fundamental elements. Emotionless and implacable once set on a course. All have True Names and can be summoned, banished and bound with Conjuration. Each has Elemental Form for its element. An Elder Elemental is one of the four great Elementals raised to Might Tier II–III (see the note under Elemental).

Fae. Quixotic beings from the fey lands, varied in form and temper but always magical, with a taste for mischief or malice. All have True Names and can be summoned, banished and bound with Conjuration. Most suffer Bane (Cold Iron).

Giant. Huge magical humanoids born of the world and of the forest’s primal nature. Shared traits: Armour I or better; Might set by Corpus; Immunity to Frightened; terrain-bound (a giant will not pursue beyond its native terrain); morale saves at Moderate Advantage.

Magical Creature. Creatures that mix natural and fantastic features. Shared traits: Armour I or II where it suits their form; at least one innate special ability. Not subject to True Name binding unless Spiritus is 12+. Can become Soul Bound if Anima is above 1 and the creature is not Hostile by nature.

Undead. Creatures animated after death, mindless or highly intelligent, corporeal or incorporeal. Shared traits: Immunity to poison, disease and Fatigue; no need for food, water or sleep; Hostile unless bound or compelled. Intelligent undead (Anima 4+) have True Names and can be bound with Conjuration. Mindless undead (Anima 1–3) cannot be affected by Guile.
