The Nighthawks are a band of famous thieves. Their members include five men, Riskat, Loomis, Welsfin, Boris, and Evert, and one woman, Portitia. Presently, two Nighthawks are stationed in area 4; they rain arrows down on the villages the Colossus attacks. The remaining four spend most of their time in area 13 preparing to strap into their gliders and make aerial runs, dropping alchemist’s fire on buildings and fleeing villagers.

The nighthawk deals an extra 14 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the Nighthawk that isn’t incapacitated and the Nighthawk doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
