Nimble Escape. The goblin witchblade can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of their turns.

The Black Obelisk. At the start of the first round of combat that the goblin witchblade is not surprised, if there is not already a Shriek within 300 feet, one erupts from a spot within 30 feet of the goblin witchblade.

Useful Another Way. The goblin witchblade may use a bonus action to deem up to three allied goblinoids within 30 feet ready to die, as long as each goblinoid has fewer than 2 hit dice worth of HP remaining and as long as there is a Shriek within 300 feet. A spectral hand darts forth from the nearest Shriek and pulls the soul out of each goblinoid. The sum of the goblinoids’ remaining HP is absorbed by the nearest Shriek, adding that many soul fragments to it’s Basin of Souls. The targeted goblinoids then die.

Actions

Multiattack. The goblin witchblade makes two attacks with their witchblade or one with their witchblade and one with eldritch blast.

Witchblade. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10+3) slashing damage. The witchblade may choose to roll a 1d6. The nearest Shriek’s Basin of Souls expends up to that many soul fragments. The target must make a DC 14 Charisma saving throw, taking necrotic damage equal to double the number of soul fragments expended on a failure, and taking half that much damage on a success.

Eldritch Blast. As the Eldritch Blast evocation cantrip with a +6 to hit. The goblin witchblade does not have disadvantage casting this spell from being adjacent to a hostile creature. As long as there is a Shriek within 300 feet, half of the damage dealt is added to the nearest Shriek’s Basin of Souls as soul fragments.
