Need some temple muscle for your entropy cults? Ever wonder what happens to the converts who lose faith and decide they want to get out? Maybe you just like jamming magical tendrils of eldritch Void into people's brain stems? Do I have a deal for you!

Created to expand the staff of the temple in Praise the Fallen (https://graphiteprime.blogspot.com/2018/12/praise-fallen.html).

Empty Hand: AC 0, F6, Atk. 3/2 (spcl.); dmg. 1d8+2 (battle axe)** or 1d2+1 (bola)*; AL: CE, XP
Fingers of the Void: AC 4 (chain + voidsight); F1-5, Atk. 3/2; dmg. 1d8+1 (battle axe)* or 1d2+1 (bola)*;
 
* Mastery, ** Grand Mastery
 
The Empty Hands are sixth-level fighters who have fully devoted themselves to the void, sacrificing their identities to become the controlling intelligences of packs of lower level fighters. The Hands are nude, but shifting patterns of raw Void stuff writhe over their skin, protecting them from most attacks. Their scalps and eyes are covered by hoods of Void, and from these, tendrils of Void stuff extend to the brain stems of the Fingers, who are culled from the ranks of those acolytes whose faith begins to waver.
 
The Hand can divide its Fighting Ability among the five Fingers. As each is killed or incapacitated, it can shift its FA around as needed. When first encountered, all will be at FA1. When a finger dies, the FA goes where the hand deems best. Hand keeps HP and saves as F6.
 
Hand and Fingers immune to sleep, charm.
 
Raw Voidstuff covers the scalp and eyes of the Hands, masking them in emptiness. Tendrils of Void reach to Fingers. This stuff is uncuttable but can be disrupted by a light or invisibility spell on a Finger; Fingers cut off from the Hand collapse, sobbing and traumatized.
 
The Hand is blind and sees only through the Fingers' eyes. If all are killed or incapacitated, the Hand gets some sense map through Void tendrils, which whip immaterially around the area and transmit information on what they pass through, but all attack roles are at -2.
 
There are 5 Hands in the temple. They have long since sacrificed their names and identities to the Void. But for Hyperborean purposes, it's useful, I think, to be able to give some hint about how they read, gender- and tribe-wise to the players. And then since there's at least a decent shot some of the Fingers will end up surviving their Hand, using Waifs of the Boreas, second edition, to give them some details (based on the region where I dropped this adventure), seems prudent:
