b'Shadow Fey Ambassador \n'b'  Family:   Shadow Fey  \n'b' Stylishly dressed, this beautiful fey has alabaster-white skin, pointed ears, and a small pair of curved horns. Her face displays a cruel and cunning smile as she reads from a long parchment covered in elvish writing-a treaty full of devious sub-clauses and near-unreadable small lettering. \n'b'  Medium   humanoid  (elf),  lawful evil  \n'b'  Armor Class  16 (studded leather)  Hit Points  161 (19d8 + 76)  Speed  30 ft.\n'b' STATS STR: 13 (+1) DEX:  18 (+4)  CON:  18 (+4)  INT:  16 (+3)  WIS:  16 (+3)  CHA:  20 (+5)  \n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'     Saving Throws   Dexterity  +8,  Wisdom  +7  Skills   Arcana  +7,  Deception  +13,  Insight  +7,  Intimidation  +9,  Perception  +7,  Persuasion  +13  Senses   darkvision  60 ft., passive  Perception  17  Languages  Common, Elvish, Umbral  Challenge  9 (5,000 XP) \n'b' Special Traits \n'b'   Fey Ancestry .

Hit : 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) cold damage. \n'b'  Honeyed Words (Recharges after a Long Rest) . The silver-tongued  shadow fey  ambassador weaves together a string of highly persuasive and agreeable words. Each creature within 30 feet of the ambassador must succeed on a DC 16  Wisdom  saving throw or be  charmed  by the ambassador, regarding it as a wise and trustworthy ally with the creature\xe2\x80\x99s best interests at heart. A  charmed  target doesn\xe2\x80\x99t have to obey the ambassador\xe2\x80\x99s commands, but it views the ambassador\xe2\x80\x99s words in the most favorable way. Each time a  charmed  target witnesses the  shadow fey  ambassador or its allies do something harmful to the target or its companions, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts as long as the ambassador maintains concentration, up to 8 hours. \n'b'  Withering Stare . The  shadow fey  ambassador targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. If the target can see it, the target must succeed on a DC 16  Wisdom  saving throw or be  frightened  for 1 minute. The  frightened  target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target\xe2\x80\x99s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the ambassador\xe2\x80\x99s Withering Stare for the next 24 hours. \n'b'  About \n'b' When fey lords and ladies need to treat with mortals on matters of interest, they will often dispatch a  shadow fey  ambassador to negotiate on their behalf. These silver-tongued ambassadors are diplomats par excellence, capable of blending charm, bribery, and sheer menace to get what they want. \n'b'  Hidden Embassies . When it arrives into a city, the  shadow fey  ambassador will first choose a disused building to establish its base of operations. This embassy is usually well hidden with few individuals entrusted with its location.  Shadow fey  ambassadors staff their embassy with plenty of minions, including other  shadow fey , shadow goblins, and hounds of the night. Many ambassadors have a  shadow fey  guardian as a personal bodyguard. \n'b'  Haughty Proclamations . Once established, a  shadow fey  ambassador will inveigle itself into the local circles of power, then issue a proclamation outlining the wishes of the  fey lord  or lady to the mortal rulers. They will set out the many benefits of enthusiastic cooperation with these demands and the dire consequences of failing to comply. The unscrupulous  shadow fey  then respond as necessary with hefty bribes, intimidation, or assassination to bring recalcitrant mortals around to their way of thinking.'
