Caravanserai Inhabitants

Continuing my recent train of thought, here are stats for some of the beings who can be found in the kasatha caravanserai, along with a layout for a caravan tent.

Caravanserai Inhabitants

Most of the beings who run the Caravanserai are novice monks who use the stat block found on page 174 of Bestiary 4. Two of there leaders, however—Immaculate Teng and Superior Master Woru—are more powerful, as detailed below.

Immaculate Teng, Kasatha Monk CR 4 XP 1,200 Kasatha monk 5 LN medium humanoid (kasatha) Init +8; Senses Perception +3 DEFENSE AC 19, touch 19, flat-footed 13 (+4 Dex, +2 Dodge, +3 Wis) hp 10 (1d8+2) Fort +5, Ref +8, Will +7 Resist Evasion, still mind, purity of body OFFENSE Spd 40 ft.

Indeed, she is fascinated by the stories that visiting aethership crew members tell, and sometimes even dreams of traveling far from this world in search of wonder and adventure. So far, however, she has not been willing to act on these desires, nor even to tell anyone of them.

Superior Master Woru, Kasatha Monk CR 6 XP 2400 Kasatha male monk 7 LN medium humanoid (kasatha) Init +8; Senses Perception +3 DEFENSE AC 19, touch 19, flat-footed 13 (+4 Dex, +2 Dodge, +3 Wis) hp 10 (1d8+2) Fort +6, Ref +9, Will +8 Resist Evasion, still mind, purity of body, wholeness of body OFFENSE Spd 50 ft.

Very few circumstances can shake his composure, and he runs his caravanserai with gentle but firm instructions for his trainees. While he feels a debt to the elves because they supply the place with water, he remains aloof from their political ambitions.

There are also outstanding characters among the visiting shobhad nomads, including the following individuals.

Shobhad Sergeant CR 7 XP 3200 Shobhad fighter 4 N large monstrous humanoid Init +6; Senses Perception +8; Darkvision 60 ft DEFENSE AC 19, touch 11, flat-footed 17 (+4 armor, +2 Dex, +4 natural, -1 size) hp 85 (9d10+36) Fort +9, Ref +7, Will +5 Resist cold 5; ferocity, bravery +1 OFFENSE Spd 40 ft.

They are devastating with their paired longswords, but even more fearsome as sharpshooters. The fact that they control the black powder trade means that they are also influential in politics and trade on their planet.

Shobhad Reptiloids: Use the stats for anklyosaurs from page 83 of the Bestiary.

Finally, presented here is a printable layout for a shobhad caravan tent—much the same as other ones that visitors to the caravanserai pitch in the structure's central marketplace, in which they sleep and from which they peddle their various goods.
