Description
This monstrosity from ages long past inhabits the mirror within an ancient ruin. Coated in oily black raven feathers and loose decaying cloth, the visage of this humanoid raven watches silently from its perch above the clearing, its white raven skulled head watching ever patiently as its prey traverses underneath.
Lair and Lair Actions
Dark moonlit forest beyond the mirror, the air is cold and still here.The full moon above this forest provides enough light to see clearly, but all coloration here seems to lose its potency leaving the landscape a dull husk.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 11(losing initiative ties), Valravn takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Valravn can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Ravens begin to scream in the surrounding wood, causing those who hear to momentarily lose their sense of reality. On a failed wisdom saving throw (DC 12) those affected have disadvantage on their next attack roll.
- 1d4 illusory ravens appear, and begin to attack the closest target. These ravens roll their own initiative and attack with Valravn’s spell attack modifier, and deal 1 point of psychic damage. They may be dispelled from a strike or from anyone’s perception beating Valravn’s spell DC (15)
- 2 servants of Valravn appear from the shadowed wood, ready to aid in their masters protection.
Regional Effects
The region containing Valravn’s lair is a pocket dimension, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- The reality beyond the mirror is largely unreal
- Certain aspects or reality may or may not exist
If the Valravn dies, these effects fade almost instantaneously. The illusions fade and the landscapes true form is revealed. After all things living exit the mirror or after 1 day, the mirror becomes a mundane mirror with no additional properties.
