My child and I will never forgive anyone who ignores this. ✋😥

I am a pregnant mother, and I am going through very difficult days.... 💔

For several days now, I have not received any donations, and I am struggling to provide even the most basic necessities for myself and my child. Every day, I worry about how I will find food, water, and the things we need to survive...💔💔💔😭

My heart is full of fear—not only for myself, but for my child. I dream of giving my baby a safe and dignified life, but right now I feel helpless and overwhelmed💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭

If you are able to help, no matter how small the donation may seem, it would mean the world to us. And if you cannot donate, please consider sharing my story with others.......🍉

Please do not leave a pregnant mother and her child to face this hardship alone. Thank you for your kindness and support..✨ 🤍

I'm here to tell you a few things. There are many haters and liars around, but I want to thank @el-shab-hussein who refuted all these false claims. However, You can follow up on this matter through this link click here

First, I'm the one who makes these crocheted pieces, and this is indeed the business card. You can see it on this page and contact me there as well. Click here

It was under our business name. But I lost the pieces and the business phone when my house was bombed.

That's why I'm here; I need your help and support. There are many hateful people here who wish us harm and genocide, but I'm striving for my dream and trying to help my family. These are some pieces of my work from before the war. I hope you can help and support us so we can continue living and alleviate our suffering.

Also, if you wish, you can follow the page on Instagram and view many more pieces of art.

An experiment had begun, government funded and supported, yet never announced to the public or foreign powers. Those experimented on are those in prison and/or jail, those that the higher ups believe "would never be missed or noticed to be gone." Things were going well, until an accident at the facility made the experiments escape.

This mystery can take place in any location, but recommended in rural/near out of the grid areas.

Hooks:

Prisons/jails seem to be lighting their intake on inmates, unknown where they are going.

Professional companies will get receive word to keep an eye out for "escaped criminals", but only the higher ups will have the classified info as to what the criminals have become.

Normal citizens will see signs of destruction outside of town, such as broken down trees, shattered rocks, and docks destroyed. Wildlife animals may have been killed and consumned as well, their bodies left behind with unusual marks on it.

A body of one of the experiments is discovered and brought to the hospital, where it turns out its not dead.

Monster: Supersoldier Elite

Type: Beast (Motivation: to run wild, destroying and killing)

They're more beast than human now. The facilities top of the line experiment. Razor-sharp claws, huge jaw with multiple layers of teeth. It has no neck, the flesh of the shoulders going up to the head. The top of the head is incredibly hard, almost mithril-like. It's legs are thick to support the body, but very athletic/light.

Powers:

Razor-sharp claws that can tear through metal like napkins.

Hard head used for breaking stone or foundation.

Super fast.

Eagle-like sight.

Skin thick and durable.

Shark-like teeth.

Super Strength

Resistance to heat, acid, and electricity (grants an additional +1 armor to what its resistant to).

Adaptation.

Weakness: The scientists developed a failsafe for it should it escape- by exposing it to extreme cold, it will become sluggish and slow. It's resistances will be nullified as well, and its skin will become brittle. Exposing its muscle/inner tissue with a combination of electricity and acid it will explode into semi-liquid chunks.

Attacks:

Razor-sharp claws- 2 harm hand messy ignore armor

Hard head- 3 harm hand forceful ignore armor

Sharp teeth- 2 harm intimate messy restraining

Harm: 10 harm, +1 armor

Custom move:

Adaptation- If the Elite is struck multiple times by certain weapons, elements not listed in his resistances, or pure magic, it will gain a temporary resistance to it until the encounter ends. The only thing it will not gain a resistance to is ice.

Minion: Supersoldier Experiments

The lesser versions before the Elite. They are more human shaped and each has only one-two abilities compared to the Elite.

Type: Brute (motivation: to hurt and terrify)

Powers:

This is constant:

Super Strength

Then pick one - two per Experiment:

Razor-sharp claws that can tear through metal like napkins.

Hard head used for breaking stone or foundation.

Super fast.

Skin thick and durable.

Shark-like teeth.

Resistance to heat, acid, and electricity.

Eagle-like sight.

Weakness: Unlike the Elite, they still have some hint of humanity left within themselves. Find something that links them to their identity and they may snap out of their rampage.

Attacks:

Super-punch- 2 harm hand.

(if picked) Razor-sharp claws- 2 harm hand messy ignore armor

(if picked) Hard head- 3 harm hand forceful ignore armor

(if picked) Sharp teeth- 2 harm intimate messy restraining

(if picked) +1 armor

Harm: 6 harm

Minion: Sadistic Scientist

Scientists that want to see how this all goes down, taking notes about what each experiment they find does. Almost as if they wanted the accident that freed the experiments to happen...

They will do anything within their power to make sure the experiments live.

Type: Guardian (motivation: to protect the experiments, even if they kill them).

Attacks:

Laser Gun- 2 harms far quiet

Net Launcher- 0 harm close restraining

9mm- 2 harm close loud

Harm: 4 harm

Bystander: Frantic Scientist

Scientists that are trying to recapture the experiments and stop the sadistic scientists. Some may even be more concerned about the paperwork after the incident more than the lives potentially lost during.

Type: Witness (motive: to reveal information)

Bystander: The Police

Once helping the government with supplying jail/prison inmates for the Supersoldier Initiative, now they deny any and all involvement and will be more in the way than helpful.

[The lagodaemon joins my cockentrice as part of a recurring series of food themed monsters. In this case, the inspiration was rabbit starvation, a form of malnutrition from consuming nothing but lean protein by rugged (read: stupid) men during the Age of Exploration. The problem is that malnutrition doesn't exist in Pathfinder; there's rules for starvation, which kills very slowly, and a realistic equivalent of malnutrition would kill even more slowly. So it took me a while to figure out how I wanted to model it mechanically, before hitting on a riff on the geas/quest spell. And, because it's me, developing a rabbit themed monster became a means of adapting a specific Bugs Bunny cartoon. It's Hare Tonic, btw.

I'm not dying of malnutrition, thank Holda, but the Creature Codex Patreon does put food on my table. Chip in, won't you?]

Daemon, Lagodaemon CR 7 NE Outsider (extraplanar) This tall humanoid is monstrously gaunt, with its ribs and hip bones visible underneath its skin. Its skin is covered in suppurating sores, and its hands and feet bear curved claws. Its head is a parody of a rabbit’s skull, albeit with fleshy ears.

Lagodaemons are cruel tricksters that represent death by malnutrition. Their bodies are rabbit like, but they have a surprising affinity for passing themselves off as human. As little as a white coat and a stethoscope can have people assuming that a lagodaemon is really a doctor, for example, and most lagodaemons carry a number of costumes and wigs on hand in order to be able to change their role on the fly. Lagodaemons are social creatures, and use their gift of gab with magical compulsions to convince people to focus their diets on a particular type of food, reject eating some type of food, or simply to cut their diet down to the bare minimum. People who succumb to this dietary geas begin to waste away with alarming speed, although they remain convinced that their new diet is in fact helping them. Attempting to resume normal eating habits without magical intervention causes rapid and dramatic pain and weakness, bolstering these delusions. Once victims are weakened to the point of frailty, the lagodaemon strikes to finish them off.

A lagodaemon will gladly fight to defend itself and eliminate any naysayers before its magical malnutrition can take its full effect. They have sharp teeth and claws, but their primary strengths are magical; those fighting a lagodaemon can be afflicted with magical starvation, horrible rashes and weakening beams. The bite of a lagodaemon carries the dread disease rabbititis, which causes spots before the eyes, coating of the tongue, violent fits, blindness, and delusions of being a rabbit. Especially brazen lagodaemons will loop back around to rabbititis infected patients in a different guise, claiming that their affliction can be cured with just the right change to their diet.

It is thought that the first lagodaemons were created by the meladaemons in order to have a servitor species to push around without having to deal with the goals of other Horsemen or daemonic lineages. If that is the case, it was a decidedly mixed success, as the charming lagodaemons are very good at getting daemons of multiple types to cooperate. They are especially successful as liaisons between leukodaemons and meladaemons, as the malnutrition they spread causes mortals to be much more susceptible to diseases. Their shared skill at manipulating mortal behavior makes them natural allies of placebodaemons, and the two types often work together to soften up a city to prepare it for a mass casualty event.
