Category:Witchbane Leech

This section contains canon info from officially published sources

Witchbane leeches increase the chances of arcane spell failure for those they are attached to. Because of this, the inquisitors of Tepest go out of their way to collect them in order to combat the Fey and their allies. Witchbane leeches are also said to have the power of moderating the effects of (but not curing) a select number of curses and supernatural diseases.^[1] Witchbane leeches may also be encountered in the Shadow Rift^[2].

The thorp had a girl they were certain had been aiding the fey. While Jermeyn, the local Inquisitor, was investigating the matter, they kept her in a little hut the community used as a jail cell. I got a chance to look at her one night and it was a piteous thing. She couldn't have been more than thirteen or fourteen, rail-thin, dirty, and sobbing. Her hands were bound in front of her with a short manacle.

But the worst thing was that her ragged blouse had been torn away at the back. Attached to the girl's shoulders were three fat leeches. When I asked about this later, one of the villagers told me that the leeches prevented the girl from using "fey deviltry," but could not explain how. Supposedly, Inquisitor Jermeyn could explain it better, but it seemed better to move onward given the suspicious glances the villagers had been giving me since my visit to the jail-hut.
