“Am I not astonishing? A robust diet makes for a shrewd mind, you see. I am a gourmand...„
Act One
Lump is found in the Blighted Village. He and his two other Ogre companions Chock and Fank have found work checking other creatures for the mark of the Absolute. If the party approaches Lump, he will check them as well. If the party have not received the brand of the absolute from Priestess Gut, Lump will attack unless he can be convinced not to check for the mark with a Deception Skill Check at DC 10.
Lump can be convinced to work for the party instead of the Absolute:
- Offer him 500 Gold.
DC 10 Deception check, offer him 1000 gold after if he fights for the party. This can be done at DC 5 for Rogues.- DC 20 Persuasion check, convincing him to fight for the right to feast on the slain enemies.
- A Barbarian or Paladin can pass an DC 20 Intimidation check, convincing him to fight in exchange for his life.
Whatever choice used to convince him, he will give 
Lump's War Horn to call him with. It's possible to summon Lump and two Ogre companions a total of three times. If for whatever reason you pickpocketed the horn off of him, blowing it will lead to a fight as he deduces the party stole the horn.
Once convinced to fight for the party, he and his two other Ogre companions disappear immediately from the Blighted Village. Lump and company cannot be called to a fight too far from their original location; for example, they cannot be called to the Shadow-Cursed Lands.
If promised gold, he will come to collect it after the first fight, at which point he can be paid, attacked, or convinced to wait for a 2500 gold payment after the next fight with a DC 15 Deception check.
Lump has in his possession a 
Warped Headband of Intellect, which is the source of his unusual Intelligence for an Ogre.
Promising to pay Lump with the corpses of the slain enemies gives inspiration to the Haunted One background of the Dark Urge

Tactics
Lump has the potent combination of high intelligence and ogre which he uses effectively. If the party is far enough, he'll cast Blur which will make him more difficult to hit. Breaking his Concentration can also be tricky considering his high Constitution. He will also throw around Acid Arrow to create 
Acid surfaces to soften up. In melee like the other ogres, his strength allows him to hit often and for a high amount of damage. He will also exploit an enemy's use of 
with a 
if anyone is unfortunate enough to get caught in the crossfire
While an oddity for his kind, Lump still has quite the low Wisdom which makes him vulnerable to many spells. His AC is also quite low, even if its a bit higher than the other ogres. Bursting him down with powerful spells and strong melee attacks like Divine Smite will stop him from unleashing too much damage. 
Smokepowder is also quite effective against him.
