Gwyllion

A gwyllion crouches beside a mountain road in the shape of an old woman with ash-colored clothing and a square, misshapen face. She asks travelers to warm themselves at a fire, then moves the landmarks while they look away. A courteous guest may be guided through the pass. A mocking one follows familiar cairns in a circle until weather finishes the lesson. Iron carried openly insults her, but iron set quietly beside the hearth keeps the conversation honest.

Turn the Path: one creature within 60 ft makes a Mind save; on a failed save it uses its movement in a direction chosen by the gwyllion. Ashwood Claw: slashing, melee 5 ft, +3 to hit, 1d8+2.

Mountain Courtesy: a creature that greets her respectfully and accepts or declines shelter without insult gains +2 Mind against Turn the Path. An iron tool laid on the ground between her and the road prevents her from changing that road while it remains there. She will trade directions for news from the valley.
