Abathax has True name in his hand and moves forward.
He starts by casting a 2nd spell as a Bonus action to challenge Merico to fight him; DC16 Charisma save. After which he attacks, Spellblade to use one Illrigger spell and one attack:
With Vengeful blade he brandishes his weapon and than strikes: Attack: 16 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects and then radiates a dark aura of energy until the start of your next turn. If the target makes an attack or casts a spell before then, the target takes 2d8 Necrotic damage and the spell ends.
After which a normal strike follows: Attack: 13 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
On the first hit he places a seal on Merico; can't be seen by others, but for Abathax it shows up as a glowing glyph.
Infernal Challenge: "You offer a creature a compelling challenge. If you have no allies within 5 feet of you, choose one creature within range who can see and hear you. They must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or answer your challenge and fight you. For the duration, you gain a +2 bonus to AC, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and the first time the target tries to move away from you on a turn, they must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or their speed becomes 0 until the start of their next turn.
This spell ends if you end your turn more than 30 feet away from the target."
