#leprachaun

[adventuresofalgy]

It was the morning of St. Patrick's Day, and Algy was resting quietly on a wee log beside the daffodils, when all of a sudden a rather unusual visitor appeared…☘️

Some of Algy's more longstanding tumblr friends will recall that Algy's hair always turns green on St. Patrick's Day… but they never knew how it was done. Now, perhaps, they have a clue…☘️

The wee fellow cavorted around Algy with boundless energy, leaping and laughing until Algy was quite dizzy, and as it capered and frolicked about, it chanted an old poem with great glee…

Algy wishes a very Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of his friends in Ireland or with Irish heritage ☘️

Little Cowboy, what have you heard, Up on the lonely rath's green mound? Only the plaintive yellow bird Sighing in sultry fields around, Chary, chary, chary, chee-ee!— Only the grasshopper and the bee?— 'Tip-tap, rip-rap, Tick-a-tack-too! Scarlet leather, sewn together, This will make a shoe. Left, right, pull it tight; Summer days are warm; Underground in winter, Laughing at the storm!' Lay your ear close to the hill. Do you not catch the tiny clamour, Busy click of an elfin hammer, Voice of the Leprachaun singing shrill As he merrily plies his trade? He's a span And a quarter in height. Get him in sight, hold him tight, And you're a made Man! You watch your cattle the summer day, Sup on potatoes, sleep in the hay; How would you like to roll in your carriage, Look for a duchess's daughter in marriage? Seize the Shoemaker—then you may! 'Big boots a-hunting, Sandals in the hall, White for a wedding-feast, Pink for a ball. This way, that way, So we make a shoe; Getting rich every stitch, Tick-tack-too!‘ Nine-and-ninety treasure-crocks This keen miser-fairy hath, Hid in mountains, woods, and rocks, Ruin and round-tow'r, cave and rath, And where the cormorants build; From times of old Guarded by him; Each of them fill'd Full to the brim With gold! I caught him at work one day, myself, In the castle-ditch where foxglove grows,— A wrinkled, wizen'd, and bearded Elf, Spectacles stuck on his pointed nose, Silver buckles to his hose, Leather apron—shoe in his lap— 'Rip-rap, tip-tap, Tick-tack-too! (A grasshopper on my cap! Away the moth flew!) Buskins for a fairy prince, Brogues for his son,— Pay me well, pay me well, When the job is done!' The rogue was mine, beyond a doubt. I stared at him; he stared at me; 'Servant, Sir!' 'Humph!' says he, And pull'd a snuff-box out. He took a long pinch, look'd better pleased, The queer little Leprachaun; Offer'd the box with a whimsical grace,— Pouf! he flung the dust in my face, And while I sneezed, Was gone!

[The Leprachaun is chanting the poem The Leprachaun by the 19th century Irish poet William Allingham.]

Yeah I have the completed form with all the signatures and everything I just need to know wh-

... You want me to bring it where!?!

Th-the Fairy Office? Jkfyugdkj... What, a circle wasn't big enough for them so they got a whole office? How does that even w-

Oh the Ferry Office! Goooootcha, right yeah that makes a lot more sense.

No, no I'm sorry. You said "ferry" and I heard "fairy" and I was thinking to myself: Who would have agreed to that!?!

I know right? The budgetary shortfalls that would come from any sort of Fae-Human revenue sharing agreement would be devastating to the community and...

Right, right.

Exactly!

And- Yes! Exactly! Tax dollars at work amirite? OOPS! Did I say that?

And besides don't we already have a contract with them for the Parks Department? I mean the parks have never been cleaner, safer, or prettier but I saw on the news where kids are starting to wander off and whatever is coming back...? 👀 I mean if I was a parent I'd be thinking: That ain't my kid.

You see on fae-book where the leprechauns are having to put less marshmallows in the cereal? Yeah, something about the supply chain.

I guess the Wrigley Corporation needed more rainbows for Skittles. First they let Nestlé take all our water and now we can't even have rainbows for marshmallow cereal. I got something they can taste right here, lol.

Well anyway I have to go down to the Ferry F-E-R-R-Y Office and get this turned in. Y'all take care!

AC 13

HP 52 (8d6 + 24)

Saves Con +5 Wis +4

Skills Perception +4, Sleight of Hand +7, Stealth +5

Senses Darkvision 60 ft

Languages Common, Sylvan

CR 4

Traits

Industrious. The leprechaun is proficient with all artisan's tools and adds double its proficiency bonus to ability checks made with them.

Reluctant Refusal. When a creature offers the leprechaun the chance to partake in merriment or revelry such as a song, a dance, or a good meal, the leprechaun must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or have the charmed condition for 24 hours. While charmed in this way, the leprechaun partakes of the offering, treats the creature as a trusted friend, and seeks to defend it from harm. The charmed condition ends if the creature or any of its allies damage the leprechaun, force the leprechaun to make a saving throw, or steal from the leprechaun.

Actions

Multiattack. The leprechaun makes two Cobbler's Hammer attacks and can use Spellcasting.

Cobbler's Hammer. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 13 (3d8) force damage. If the target is a creature, its speed is halved until the start of the leprechaun's next turn.

Gift of Luck (1/Day). The leprechaun touches a creature and magically gifts the target a measure of luck. The creature gains the leprechaun's Astonishing Luck reaction. The creature can use the reaction three times, after which this gift goes away. The leprechaun can revoke this gift from a creature at any time (no action required). A creature can benefit from only one leprechaun's Gift of Luck at a time.

Spellcasting. The leprechaun casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 14):

Spells can be found in my tags

At will: Mending (as an action), Prestidigitation

2/day each: Invisibility, Phantasmal Force

1/day each: Fabricate (as an action), Mislead

Bonus Actions

Cunning Trick. The leprechaun takes the Disengage or Hide action or makes a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check.

Reactions

Astonishing Luck. When the leprechaun fails an ability check, an attack roll, or a saving throw, it can roll a new d20 and choose which roll to use, potentially turning the failure into a success.

yeah seth is an asshole and easily hate-able in aftg but also like, i LOVE fics where he is alive and kicking - even if they're canon compliant and he just like, got a career-ending injury and is now lurking around the fox's practices providing much needed comic relief.

(neil comes back from the nest : "didnt realise you were lucky the fucking leprechaun")

like for neil, andrew is his person, and matt is his best friend, but seth is a partner in creating uneccessary chaos

finally watched the fairhaven episode of voyager.

i understand now why i saw a post about miles o’brien punching tom paris in the face.

extremely justified.
