Lair and Lair Actions

 the swarms lair

the swarm makes there lair in a basalt citadel that rises up in Avernus. From nearly a mile away, one can hear the screams and moans coming from the burned victims chained to the stronghold's wall, the dying remains of those who failed to impress the archdevils. The stronghold, covering fifty square miles, is surrounded by walls reinforced with high turrets. Devils of all kinds crawl over the structure, ensuring that no intruders breach their defenses.

Lair Actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the swarm can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects: they can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • the swarm casts major image fourty times at its lowest level, targeting different areas with the spell. the swarm prefers to create images of intruders' loved ones being burned alive. the swarm doesn't need to concentrate on the spells, which end on initiative count 20 of the next round. Each creature that can see these illusions must succeed on a DC 26 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the illusion for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
  • the swarm casts there innate [Tooltip Not Found].

Regional Effects. The region containing the swarms lair is warped by there magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:

  • The area within 9 miles of the lair is filled with screaming voices and the stench of burning meat.
  • Once every 6 feet within 1 mile of the lair, 10-foothigh gouts of flame rise from the ground. Any creature or object that touches the flame takes 7 (2d6) fire damage, though it can take this damage no more than once per round.
  • The area within 2 miles, but no closer than 5000 feet, of the lair is filled with smoke, which causes the area to be heavily obscured. The smoke can't be cleared away.

If the swarm dies, these effects fade over the course of ld10 days.
