There are always three. The Willow Witches are the weird sisters of the Fen — subject of many tales — and whether they appear old, young, or middling aged depends on the telling.

What stays constant: three, and the Fen knows them better than anyone living.

Appearance: Three women who do not match — one appears grey-haired and stooped, one middle-aged with muddy hands, one young enough that her hair hangs loose and unstyled. All three wear fen-cloth that clings slightly to them, the same dim green-brown as standing water, and all three look directly at you at the same moment.

HP 16 · Armor 4 · Damage gnarled fists and fingers d10+2 w/ disadvantage (hand, forceful, grabby)

Instinct: To enforce the old ways, the old rules

Special qualities

  • Armor 0 vs. black iron

  • divide damage taken equally between the three witches (round down)

Moves

  • Frustrate, annoy, or provoke someone
  • Twist someone’s perceptions
  • Vanish, be elsewhere
  • Turn someone into a swamp creature

GM notes

Named coven/power rather than a single mortal NPC. Group, primordial, cautious, devious, organized, magical, all-wise.
