Lair and Lair Actions

The Sleeper's Lair

Cryptmire Forest is presided over by a single beast of immeasurable power and much of that power is due to his mastery of the forest itself. He seems to step between the trees and stones themselves, vanishing into the earth only to appear beside you with no warning. The lair is constantly shrouded in a dense fog, limiting creature's vision to 15 ft.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Sleeper can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Sleeper can’t use an effect again until it finishes a short or long rest:

  • The terrain within the Sleeper's lair changes under his control. With a roar, he may make the entire lair difficult terrain for the next 3 rounds.
  • The weather within the Sleeper's lair changes at his whim. The sleeper may change the weather to any other weather pattern he chooses.
  • While within the Sleeper's lair fog, the effects of are significantly altered. Each lair action, the DM rolls a d12 and that many months passes outside the Sleeper's lair during that round of combat. 
  • The Sleeper may cause all creatures within the fog of its lair to change places with another creature of the same size.
