The Toothy Fairy

This is one of the main foes in my recent adventure Xanadu. She can be summoned by a ritual in one of the encounter areas of the temple. Details of how to perform the ritual are below.

The Tooth Fairy

AC 2 [17], HD 10, hp 45 + absorption, Att x 3 slam/claw/bite (1d10/2d6/1d10), THACO 11 [+8], MV 160’ (40’), SV D6 W7 P8 B8 S10, ML 4, AL C, XP 3200

The Tooth Fairy is an entity from another plane, a dimension made of sweet stuff. Sunken eyes, lean, emaciated, leathery wings on shoulders, made of stretched skin. Feeds on human teeth, taking satisfaction in cries of agony as she rips bone from mouths. If summoned, she immediately go to the bowl and eat the teeth offered by the ritual. She needs 1d100+10 teeth to satiate her hunger. Will regurgitate 2d20 diamonds (worth 250 gp each), and reward the summoner. If there are insufficient teeth, she will attack the party and attempt to extract theirs. She will not attack the summoner. Wants faithful servants who provide her with the crunchy foodstuffs that she craves. She is not fundamentally evil, just an addict. Moves swiftly, leaving trail of fairy floss. It’s delicious!

Special

All damage rolled against victims adds to creature’s hp total; +2 initiative due to speed; can use attacks independently on 3 different targets in melee range; first attack on victim is always at +2; saves vs mental attacks at +3; saves vs fire attacks at +2; if she is destroyed, teeth she consumed during summoning have all transformed to glittering diamonds, they are within her belly (worth 250 gp each); if threatened, she retreats back into opening on the wall, back to her dimension; portal will stay open for 1d6 rounds after she departs; if the PCs follow her into the wall rupture, here are some options:

• they are transported to another plane made of sugar.
• they transform into bloody pulp and are ejected back into the room.
• it’s gateway to another OSR adventure!

Summoning Ritual

Inscriptions on silver bowl in the encounter room provide comprehensive instructions on how to summon The Tooth Fairy. Referee should determine if a read spell is required to understand inscriptions, or if they are simply written in the common language.

How to perform the summoning:

1. Extracted human teeth must be placed in the silver bowl.
2. Each tooth placed in the bowl will give the ritual a 1% chance of succeeding (so 40 teeth = 40% chance of success).
3. Inscriptions on the bowl must be read out aloud.
4. Roll the dice...

If the summoning is successful, aroma of burnt sugar permeates the room within a few minutes.

The stain on the wall begins to glow, then rupture. The Tooth Fairy emerges from the wall, descending into the room. She will be famished, kneel down, and immediately devour the teeth in the bowl. The party is transfixed (probably under a spell), powerless to act until she is finished. If the summoning fails, teeth in the bowl melt into sweet syrup, they are useless, perhaps try again.
