Supplement Summary
Tsu Harabax is really Baba Yaga, disguised as a non-
magical, kind, elderly female innkeeper. Baba Yaga
made a deal with Zybilna and was charged with
running the Inn and ferrying mortals who came
seeking Zybilna the Godmother across Prismeer, and
to ferry the dead and their souls to wherever they may
need to go. Zybilna did not know it was Baba Yaga.
Baba Yaga of course knows who Zybilna really is, and
she wants to take Prismeer for herself. And so Baba
Yaga, disguised as Tsu Harabax, trades with
travellers, bides her time and pulls the strings of fate,
until she can make her move on Prismeer. The PCs
may notice or find clues to who Tsu Harabax really is
during their stay at the Inn.
You may want to have The Inn occur more than
once - perhaps once in each realm.

Mortar and Pestle
In the kitchen is all the usual tavern kitchenware, but
also a small wooden mortar with a wooden pestle.
When Arina is in the kitchen the pestle often moves
on its own accord, grinding that which is in the
mortar. This is the iconic vehicle that Baba Yaga uses
not only as a mortar and cauldron, but also as a
means of transportation and flying. She has reduced
its size and hidden it in the kitchen as a mundane
kitchen utensil. For further description of this item
see Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, page 121.
Sweeping broomstick
As all witches Baba Yaga has a broomstick. She
doesn’t use this for flying however, but for sweeping
away evidence of her deeds. The Inn is constantly
being swept by a magical broomstick. It doesn’t speak,
but its non-verbal communication is not very polite
and it often expects the guests of The Inn to get up
from their tables so that it can sweep under the chairs
and tables they are sitting at. This sweeping nuisance
can magically remove any and all stains and evidence
of mishap - be it stains from the yummy feywild berry
pie or droplets of blood from guests who didn’t want

 NPCs at the Inn
Inspired by amazing homebrewers and DM’s of the
Witchlight Discord and SubReddit, the Inn has
several guests and employees when your adventurers
enter it, many of which can be found here by
u/ZemblanityFalls:
And stat blocks by u/Phaerlax here and here.
Arina, the chef
Female white Dragonborn, works as the chef in the
kitchen. She has white scales and eyes the colour of
the sky just before the sun peeks over the horizon.
She might sing the “Good Morning” from the Singing
in the Rain musical if you are so inclined.
Arina knows Tsu Harabax’s true identity, but will
never reveal it as she is loyal to Baba Yaga.
This NPC is named after the person who collected
and edited the fairytale of Baba Yaga and her black
cat. Arina represents the first horseman, who in turn
represents dawn, from the tale of Vasilisa the Fair.
Order-Up, the waiter
A recreation of @Moth’s original idea, Order-Up is a
kenku (Non-Binary). Their plume is made of red and
orange feathers. They are neurotic and afraid of being
fired but also puts in very little effort in their job. They
respond only with sounds they have heard before or
echoes what the players say to acknowledge that they
have heard their order. When asked about their name
they answer with the sound of a dinging clock, then
Arina’s voice shouting “Order-Up!”.
Order-Up knows Tsu Harabax’s true identity, but is
also loyal to Baba Yaga.
Order-Up represents the second horseman, who in
turn represents day/noon or the sun, from the tale of
Vasilisa the Fair.
Aleksandr the bouncer
Every respectable establishment has a bouncer. At the
Inn at the End of the Road this is Aleksandr.
Aleksandr is an unarmed tabaxi fighter with no
apparent weapons. His fur is midnight black and his
eyes shine like the moon on a cloudless night. Should
push come to shove Aleksandr does the pushing AND
the shoving. Right out of the nearest door or window
in fact. He and Tsu have the ability to use Ethereal
Joust as a lair action, which will plunge the target
straight through the floorboards and out of the Inn to
be crushed by the Inn as it settles down on them.
Aleksandr knows Tsu Harabax’s true identity, but
won’t reveal it.
Aleksandr is named after a collector of the slavic folk
tales regarding Baba Yaga. Aleksandr represents the
third horseman, who in turn represents night - or
death - from the tale of Vasilisa the Fair.

 The Lost and Found Box of the Inn
Original idea by u/Horror_Ad_5893.
Your PCs may try their luck rummaging through the Lost and Found box. There seem to be some magical items in
there, and occasionally a piece of clothing has a trinket tucked away in a pocket. This is an opportunity for your
PCs to acquire a new wardrobe and an opportunity for you to give them more trinkets if they have run out. Feel
free to change the pieces of clothing to suit your table.
Tucked away at the end of a dimly lit hallway upstairs from the bustling common room of the Inn, there lies a peculiar wooden
box. Its exterior is worn, with faded carvings of playful sprites and mischievous pixies dancing around its edges. A brass plaque
affixed to the front reads, “Lost and Found.”
The box has seen countless items left behind by the Inn’s myriad guests over the years. From the whimsical to the mundane,
each item tells a silent tale of a traveller’s journey or a momentary lapse of attention. Some say the box itself has a touch of
magic, drawing to it the forgotten belongings of those who pass through the Inn’s doors. Others say that it is not a box at all.

 Side quests and
encounters at the Inn
The Inn is a perfect opportunity for you to introduce
the players and PC to the rules of Prismeer:
Hospitality, Ownership and Reciprocity. The following
side quests and encounters are built to underline
these rules and maybe unveil some feywild mechanics
and lore, and reveal some of the story arch of the
campaign and this supplement. But they can also
simply be used as an opportunity for you PCs to
engage in a combat encounter where the social
recompense of choosing a violent option isn’t as
detrimental as many of the others in the module.
Quest Hooks
There are several ways to hook your PCs to do these
sidequests, and these 3 seems the easiest:
Bouncer for the night
Tsu asks the PCs to act as bouncers for the “night”, as
the Alexandr has an errand to run, and the Inn needs
a substitute while he is gone.
Pay the bill
Another hook is simply that Tsu wants something in
return for her letting the party stay, or as a reduction
to the charges of meals, drinks and rooms.
The price of information
Tsu asking them to do one or both of these tasks
could be part of a bargain for a particularly interesting
piece of information that the party needs. This could
be the hags’ weaknesses, how to get to downfall, or
how to move through the mist to the other splinter
realms.

Ghost of the Craftsman maybe their meals - not their drinks or their rooms
however (she’s got to make a living).
Originally by @Chatty and TheBaziel from the
Witchlight Discord. “Bring him his letter as well, will you?”

Sidequest overview
The PCs find the ghost of a dead duergar dwarf in the
basement. The dwarf was killed by one of Zybilna’s
accomplices, as this dwarf and his clansmen were
responsible for crafting Snicker-Snack, the sword that
was crafted to kill the Jabberwock, which is Zybilna’s
pet and guardian. The ghost of the craftsman can
provide the PCs with information, including a part of
Snicker-Snack which is buried with the remains of the
dwarf.
How to use this sidequest
This could be in stead of or in addition to the
“Clurichaun in the basement” sidequest, as Tsu
nonchalantly asks the party to bring the letter to
Dwordrartin who she suspects is down there as well.
If you run both basement sidequests, the PCs can
notice an area with recent and soddy stone masonry
at the end of the room where Aileen is drinking
herself into oblivion. Aileen doesn’t know anything
about this.
The death of Dwordrartin implies that Zybilna was
taking steps to eliminate anyone capable of crafting a
weapon that could easily neutralise her monstrous
safeguard. She orchestrated the entombment of
Dwordrartin and likely did the same to the other
duergar responsible for forging the blade, as well as
crafting its hilt and scabbard. Alternatively, if you wish
to add a twist, one of these duergar dwarves could be
Nib. After receiving payment, Nib initially fled but
later experienced remorse for his actions and sought

 Leaving the Inn
The players run up a tab by staying at the inn, eating
and drinking and being told secrets.
The PCs will be asked to settle the bill before they
leave. Should they refuse or try to avoid paying it the
employees and other guests will raise their voices in
protest. Should the party continue to refuse they have
then broken the rule of hospitality and are whisked
(either by Tsu or Aleksandr using a Lair Action or
their Ethereal Joust) to the underside of the Inn which
immediately settles down on top of them, crushing
and drowning them momentarily - not intending to kill
them, which would be bad for business.
Settle your debt and pay what is owed
The PCs take bludgeoning damage equal to their character
level every 6 seconds as the Inn is on top of them. They
can stop this by shouting or thinking of their surrender or
agreement to pay which causes the Inn to rise and the PCs
to be teleported back.

At that point Tsu says something referencing one of the

famous Baba Yaga quotes.

“Kings and commoners alike can afford to pay respect. So…

About that which is owed…”.

You may choose to let her give them a broad smile with a
mouth full of iron teeth at this point if you want to give the
players a better chance to guess her identity.

 The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga provides an intricate stat block for Baba Yaga, complete with a range of unique Dreadful Curses
and their varied effects. However, I’ve ensured you don’t need to make a purchase to embrace the concept of Tsu Harabax being
Baba Yaga. Below is a stat block you can utilise if confrontation arises. Ideally, Baba Yaga would avoid such confrontations; she
takes great pleasure in deceiving others with her disguise, relishing the opportunity to craft seemingly benevolent deals from
her vantage as an innkeeper.

Deck of Fates card effects
Baba Yaga has a set of tarot cards, which she can use to tug at the strings of fate, eliciting a unique response depending on the
card drawn. The effect and spellcasting is instantaneous and doesn’t consume her spell slots.
1, The Fool: Bestow Curse (as a touch or ranged spell attack with 30 feet range).
2, The Magician: Baba Yaga calls upon debts paid and casts the ghostly form of Summon Undead, requiring no concentration.
3, The High Priestess: Death Ward
4, The Empress: The cards reveal a multitude of potential futures for Baba Yaga, granting her the benefit of Foresight.
5, The Emperor: The Dowager is a puppetmaster of fate and undeath. Revealing The Emperor lets her cast Danse Macabre,
requiring no concentration.
6, The Lovers: “All is fair in love and war”. Baba Yaga holds onto the Lovers card, granting her the reaction to cast Hellish Rebuke
once as a reaction. If she shuffles The Lovers back into her deck (either by Stack the deck or Card Shuffle) before casting
Hellish Rebuke the effect is lost.
7, The Chariot: Baba Yaga knows all too well that life and death are two sides of the same coin. One cannot be there without the
other. She casts Wither and Bloom as a 5th level spell, causing each creature of her choice in a 10-foot-radius sphere centred
on a point within range to make a Constitution saving throw, taking 5d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
8, Justice: Baba Yaga gains Temporary Hit Points equal to the damage she has dealt in this and the last 2 rounds.
9, The Hermit: Spirit Shroud, requiring no concentration but only lasting 1d4+2 rounds.
10, Wheel of Fortune: Fortune’s Favour
11, Strength: Baba Yaga holds the card out towards a target and shoots off a Ray of Enfeeblement.
12, The Hanged Man: Baba Yaga knows her own actions have led her here, and that only she can get her out of the situation as
well. For the next 1d4 turns she may step from one area of dim light or darkness into another area of dim light or darkness
within 60 feet of each other costing her only 5 feet of movement. This step does not draw opportunity attacks.
13, Death: Create Undead
14, Temperance: Baba Yaga gains the reactive trait, granting her the ability to use a second reaction each turn in combat for the
next minute.
15, The Devil: Blight
16, The Tower: Finger of Death
17, The Star: “Undeath is the only light at the end of the tunnel”. Baba Yaga emits magical darkness as per the darkness spell in a
15 feet radius for 1d4 rounds, moving with her as she moves.
18, The Moon: Summon shadowspirit requiring no concentration.
19, Judgement: Circle of Death
20, The World: The borders between the realms are diminished as “The World” is drawn, allowing Baba Yaga to step halfway into
the ethereal realm, granting her resistance to piercing, bludgeoning and slashing non-magical attacks for 1 minute.

Can I have your attention? Thank you. Bye.

Fey prank aside, thank you for reading this Inn at

the End of the Road supplement for the Witchlight
campaign. I hope you’ve enjoyed it and that it has
brought inspiration and fun and more to your
campaign and table. If you find any typos or have
any suggestions, reach me on reddit:
u/GoofySpooks.

For more additions to the Witchlight Campaign,

see my other supplements:

Lost things Aplenty

The WBWL lists a table of 8 things for your players
to roll or choose from. My players did not choose
any of them, but made up their own. And so I had
to find an appropriate magic item for their Lost
Things. I see this problem on the Witchlight
Subreddit and in the Witchlight Discord
Community often, which inspired this supplement.
It holds 63 Lost Things and corresponding Magical
items with art for each item and new individual
penalties for the PC to work with or against until
they find their Lost Thing, replacing the “No
Inspiration” rule.

Toys of Loomlurch
A supplement for Loomlurch adding several toy-
themed stat blocks to your armoury. They may
replace some of the Tin Soldiers in Loomlurch and
allow for a more dynamic fight with interesting
mechanics and tactical combat manoeuvres.
