Involvement[edit | edit source]

Act One[edit | edit source]

Lump is in the Blighted Village with his ogre companions Chock Chock and Fank Fank. If approaching Lump, he asks to see their mark of the Absolute. If not having received the brand of the Absolute from Gut Priestess Gut, Lump attacks unless he is convinced otherwise:

  • [BRANDED] Show him your brand.
  • [DECEPTION] I'll do you one better - I'm one of the Absolute's chosen disciples. (DC 10)
  • [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] What about you? I'm feeling hungry... (DC 10)
  • [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] ROAR. (DC 10 Advantage Icon.png)
  • [PALADIN] [INTIMIDATION] Try to eat me and I'll brand your corpse with the mark of my oath. (DC 10)
  • [DECEPTION] Flash your arm at him. There you are. You could see the brand, could you not? (DC 10)
  • [INTIMIDATION] Do not test the Absolute's finest, ogre. You would not survive Her wrath. (DC 10)

Lump can be convinced to work for the party instead of the Absolute:

  • I'll give you 500 gold if I can call you into battle.
  • [DECEPTION] I'll give you 1000 gold - after you fight for me. (DC 10)[note 1]
  • I'll give you 1000 gold - after you fight for me.[note 2]
  • [ROGUE] [DECEPTION] 1000 gold - to be paid once the killing's done. (DC 5)[note 1]
  • [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] How about I spare your life. That tempting enough? (DC 20)
  • [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] JOIN ME OR I'LL CRUSH YOU TO PULP! (DC 20 Advantage Icon.png)
  • [PERSUASION] I'll pay you in the flesh of the fallen - you'll have your fill. (DC 15)[note 2]
  • [PERSUASION] I'll pay you in the flesh of the fallen - you'll have your fill. (DC 20)[note 1]
  • [PALADIN] [INTIMIDATION] Fight for me and my oath or I'll cut the last meal from your belly. (DC 20)

  2. Jump up to: 2.0 2.1 If a githyanki speaker teases him about their sweet flesh.

After Lump was persuaded, he offers Lump's War Horn, which can be used to summon Lump and his two ogre companions a total of three times. If the party pickpocketed the horn from him, blowing it leads to a fight as he deduces, that the party stole the horn.

Once convinced to fight for the party, he and his ogre companions disappear 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.

If Lump was promised gold but never called, he eventually appears in camp to collect, and the party can pay him or intimidate him into leaving:

  • Pay him what you promised.
  • [INTIMIDATION] We have a new bargain: I pay nothing, and you leave the camp alive. (DC 20)
  • [BERSERKER] [INTIMIDATION] FOLLOW ME AGAIN AND I'LL EAT YOU. (DC 20 Advantage Icon.png)
  • [BARBARIAN] [INTIMIDATION] You can leave alive, or you can roast over my campfire. (DC 20 Advantage Icon.png)

Any other option causes the ogres to attack.

Lump accidentally ate a Warped Headband of Intellect, which is the source of his unusual Intelligence for an Ogre.[2]

Promising to pay Lump with the corpses of slain enemies grants Inspiration Icon.png Creatures of Bloodlust for the haunted one background. Convincing the ogres to work for the party without offering gold grants Inspiration Icon.png Pyramid Scheme for the urchin background.

Notable loot[edit | edit source]

Tactics[edit | edit source]

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 Constitution. He will also throw around Acid Arrow to create Acid 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 Grease Grease with a Fire Bolt Fire Bolt if anyone is unfortunate enough to get caught in the crossfire

While an oddity for his kind, Lump still has quite the low Wisdom 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 Divine Smite will stop him from unleashing too much damage. Smokepowder Smokepowder is also quite effective against him.

Notes and references[edit | edit source]

  1. In addition to his increased Intelligence Intelligence, Lump the Enlightened has slightly more HP than is typical for an Ogre. His slightly better armour also causes him to have an Armour Class 1 higher than normal for an Ogre.
  2. Lump's dialogue file describes him as: "Lump is very smart after accidentally eating a headband of intellect."
