With bodies of fired clay, brochmaws look like walking cylindrical ovens split across the middle by their titular maws, which rage with the fires of culinary perfection. Behind their maw burns a powerful internal oven, where the elemental creatures roast their prey. Brochmaws are driven solely by their voracious appetites, only leaving their lairs to acquire new meals.

Ranged Hot Oil +25, range 30 feet, Damage 3d6+7 fire plus 3 fire plus 1d8 fire plus Marinade

Abilities

Marinade — A creature taking persistent fire damage from the brochmaw's hot oil Strike is more readily cooked, taking a –2 circumstance penalty to Fortitude saves against Roast for as long as it is taking persistent fire damage.
Roast — The brochmaw turns a skewer over their oven, cooking anything impaled on it. Creatures Grabbed by the brochmaw's skewer take 3d6 fire damage (DC 32 Fortitude save). Creatures who have been Roasted take a –2 circumstance penalty to Fortitude saves against Serve for 1 minute.
Serve
Skewer Master — The skewers of a brochmaw are more than long enough to hold multiple creatures. A brochmaw can have up to three creatures Grabbed on its skewer, and it can still make Strikes with its skewer even if it has creatures grabbed, though it can't target creatures it has grabbed.
Improved Grab
