Infernal Smite. When Cassia hits w/ a weapon attack, the weapon deals an additional 9 (2d8) necrotic damage (included in the attack).
Magic Items. Cassia wears the Blacksun Plate & wields Sever, a longsword (both're included in her statistics). For full details on these items see their stat blocks.
Multiattack. Cassia makes 2 attacks w/ Sever & 1 Corrupted Lay on Hands attack.
Corrupted Lay on Hands. Melee Spell Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: Cassia extracts some of the target’s vitality. The target must attempt a DC 16 Con saving throw, losing 30 hp on a failure or 15 hp on a success. Cassia regains 30 hp if the target fails its save, or 15 if it succeeds. If this hp loss reduces the target to 0 hp, it becomes petrified & can’t regain hp until greater restoration or more powerful magic's cast on the target.
Sever. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 10 (1d8 + 6) slashing damage + 9 (2d8) necrotic damage, & the target must succeed on a DC 16 Con saving throw or gain 1 open wound. At the start of each of its turns, it loses 3 (1d6) hp for each open wound. Magical healing removes all open wounds from the target &'s the only way to remove them.
Description
Salister recruits 2 lieutenants to his cause, siblings Cassia & Seamus Rondel. Cassia's a mighty paladin, & Seamus a powerful cleric. Both're tainted by the contracts they sign w/ Salister, but their outward appearance's unchanged. 2 famous adventurers known as the Sibling Saints have joined Salister Kane’s crusade to make the world a better place. They've a long list of impressive accomplishments, & many of the commonfolk take this as a sign that Salister's blessed the by gods. This scheme happens w/ little direct action from Salister Kane. The 2 siblings show up of their own volition, sign a contract, & become lieutenants. If the party intercepts these 2 on their way to the chapel, they can've a conversation about all the good that Salister Kane has done. If they've concerns about him, they can share them w/ the siblings, though they'll receive nothing but reassurance in return. This scheme doesn’t involve the party directly, so it plays out the same way regardless of whether they’re working for or against Salister.
