Kindred

The Eternal Hunters

In League of Legends, Kindred is one entity made up of two beings simply called Lamb and Wolf. Upon finding a marked one, they will begin their chase. If the creature allows themself to be taken by Kindred, then one swift arrow from Lamb will seal their fate. If they choose to run and attempt to cheat death, Wolf will hunt them down and end them in brutal fashion. Together, they function as Runterra's Death or Grim Reaper type character, as they pursue those whose times have come.

Kindred In Your World

When a player dies, do you ever wish you could give them a more interesting and meaningful demise? Perhaps you want them to have an opportunity for a "last word" of sorts? With Kindred, you can give them one last character building moment. A chance to face death the way that they see fit.

Upon taking lethal damage, describe to your player the misty, ethereal-like plane that they now find themself on. It should structurally be the same as where ever they were before dying, just dimly lit and without other life. They will hear Wolf's howl and shortly be met by Lamb's glowing white feminine figure. She will have a pulsating blue arrow nocked and pointed at the player. At this point, give your player a moment to decide their next move.

If they run, Lamb will cancel her shot and Wolf will emerge from the shadows with primal wrath. At this point, have your player roll initiative for the chase. Wolf moves 75 feet per turn and gets +5 to his initiative roll. Increase his movement speed if your exceeds his speed. After the distance is closed, a mauling will end the encounter.

If they are still, Lamb shoots a final shot and ends the encounter. Lamb will not respond if spoken to and will continute holding the drawn arrow. If the player keeps trying to talk, Lamb will fire and end the encounter. Attacks on Lamb and Wolf are futile.

The rest of the party will not see anything other than the fallen player's unbothered corpse. As the player's encounter with Kindred ends, the party may see a brief glimmer of white light.
