Crossing a Drow: Break it Down Broko

===BROKO SHOVS===

Born as a lower class citizen of Mulmaster, Broko is no stranger to the tough and unfair life a huge percentage of the population have to face. He also had to suppress his innate magical nature due to the state of the city. Word got around that the ghettos he was from were praying to a new deity who supposedly answered their prayers. It granted all wishes from financial help to exacting revenge on anyone who've done them wrong. Broko investigated these claims and found the cultists from the Black Earth who are actively going around to answer poor people's prayers. The cult actively encouraged his use of magic and soon Broko found himself using his gifts to serve the cult. Broko was assigned to retrieve the codex in light of the Black Earth's failure to secure the book.

Broko is also an avid tattoo artist and has imbued everyone who follows him the Eldritch Claw Tattoo on their right arm (including himself)

===CLOAK'S TASK===

Broko is an unsanctioned magic user who has caused harm to the citizens of Mulmaster using his magic. He was involved in an attack in the past against the Earthspur Miners. He must be brought in and arrested to face punishment for his crimes.

 

This tattoo depicts clawlike forms and other jagged shapes. While the tattoo is on your skin, your unarmed strikes are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks, and you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with unarmed strikes.

Eldritch Maul. As a bonus action, you can empower the tattoo for 1 minute. For the duration, each of your melee weapon attacks can reach a target up to 30 feet away from you, as tendrils of ink launch from your weapon or unarmed strike toward the target. In addition, your melee weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 force damage on a hit. Once used, this bonus action can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Tattoo Attunement. To attune to this item, you hold the needle to your skin where you want the tattoo to appear, pressing the needle there throughout the attunement process. When the attunement is complete, the needle turns into the ink that becomes the tattoo, which appears on the skin. If you have multiple magic tattoos, they count as a single magic item with regard to the number of magic items you can attune to. If your attunement to the tattoo ends, the tattoo vanishes, and the needle reappears in the closest unoccupied space to you. Source
