ALTThe Vortsl Witch for Beyond the Pale (forthcoming from Yochai Gal)
“an excellent tunneler that hides underground near water. wiggles tiny fronds in the air as lures. above-ground, appears vaguely humanoid with the face of a rotted tree stump. will exchange rare minerals for a ‘fresh corpse’ of any kind. easily takes offense, especially if offered anything more than a few days dead.”
a character design from an upcoming Jewish TTRPG i’m very excited about! this is a unique creation by the game designer, but many of the other characters and creatures are based in Jewish folklore.
[ID: a black and white drawing of a hunched creature (the Vortsl Witch) which seems to be made out of gnarled roots. it wears wrapped rags, a necklace of trinkets, and many little pouches.]
