Meet Magobia the Witch

Meet the Witch Magobia:

Mother to goblins and hobgoblins

Trying to find a source for this picture led me to a deactivated Tumblr for Cultur Tava.

HP:4 // ARMOR 6* (impervious to physical harm until a certain protection is dealt with)

SPELL SLOTS: 5 // Special Item: Cursing Charm

It is said that the witch Magobia cannot have children of her own and that because of that she resolved to steal babies for her own.


• Some say that it’s because she’s barren, some say that it’s because she’s too mean for anyone to want a relationship with her. 


• Rumor goes that her desire for children has led her to kidnapping them and feeding them her special witch-food, turning them into goblins and hobgoblins in the process. 


• She is followed around by what looks like a black cat that has the power, according to some to grow to the size of a donkey. Some say it’s the devil himself, and that she is married to him. People say a lot of things.

It is true that the witch Magobia cannot be hurt by regular weapons, but has a secret weakness that can hurt her. Nobody seems to know what, but some rumor that it is…

1. Some say that if she is soaked through and through with holy water from a church’s baptismal font, that the deviltry protecting her from harm will have to flee from God’s holiness and that she will become vulnerable to regular attack.

2. Some say that it’s her cold heart that hardens her body and soul and keeps it from death’s grip. If through acts of love and compassion, one could thaw out her heart, she would become vulnerable again. But if that happens, would she not deserve a second chance?

3. Some say that she is married with Death himself, and kept alive by his protection. Making her vulnerable to harm might mean treading into the domain of death himself to seek for answers!

4. Some say that through a deal with the devil himself, she has removed her heart and keeps it somewhere hidden and safe. As such she cannot be harmed.

5. Some say that she needs to drink her daily special wine to be safe from harm. When she has no access to it for more than a week she becomes as vulnerable as any mortal.

6. Some say that her dark power can only be overcome on the high holy days of Christmas and Easter and that only on these days one can overpower and kill her.

Special Item: Cursing Charm


Magobia has a cursing charm around her neck that gives her daily access to the magic word “CURSE/CURSING” even when “the winds of magic”/“the alignment of the stars” would not allow for it otherwise. For every spell slot she can choose to substitute one of the words with the word CURSE.

When encountered in the wild, Magobia the Witch…

1. Is collecting ingredients for her potions and rituals, or just for her soup and special food. She is helped by 1d6 of her goblin children.


2. Is carrying a baby. She is accompanied by her cat.


3. Is casually talking to a cloaked figure seemingly made out of pure darkness. They seem to be sharing a drink. She talks the regular speech, the figure speaks in whispers and moans that chill to the bone and makes the hair on the back of your neck stand straight up.


4. Is enchanting a toadstool circle. If allowed to continue, a toad will jump into it, grow the size of a dog and start a conversation with her, where she asks it about things that it has no business knowing. Like what night would be a good night for stealing babies, where a certain person or item is, …


5. Is flying overhead on her broom. She may or may not be cackling.


6. Is making something in a giant cauldron. Her cat is with her. She will offer food to weary travelers. It’s her enchanted food, binding them to her, not allowing sustenance from any other source of food.
