Traditional Nursery Rhyme
Spread ashes on the doorstep
Plant mint around the rear,
And when the world starts ticking,
You’d best not lend your ear.
No laughter after midnight,
Guard the young ones and the old,
For when the world starts ‘tocking,
You’d best do as you’re told.
Lock the sugar up with poison,
Go to bed with onyx knife,
If you see a spinning ragwheel
You’ve already lost your life.
They say nursery rhymes are routed in history or superstition. Suppose it's time to find out as children from the local village begin to go missing again...
Note: Designed as a AL11, may scale up if higher levels join in, may feel deadly for those at the lower end.
Content warning: Horror elements and children in danger.

Folding Star - Weapon (dagger), rare (requires attunement by a monk or rogue) The slender dagger has a painted bone hilt. You gain a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. As a bonus action, you can unfold the dagger into a bladed star or fold it back into a dagger. While unfolded, the bladed star can’t be used to make melee attacks, deals slashing instead of piercing damage, and has a thrown range of 60/90 feet, dealing 2d4 + your Dexterity modifier slashing damage on a hit. On a hit or a miss, the bladed star returns to your hand immediately after the attack.

If you, or any friendly creatures within 10 feet of you, roll a natural 20 on an initiative roll the totem transforms into a ferocious giant badger (Use the statistics in Monster Manual). Barryat takes his turn on your initiative count and acts as your ally, defending you and your allies until death. After 1 minute, or if Barryat is reduced to 0 hit points, he reverts back to a wooden figurine.
