Description
Viktra Mordenheim, Darklord of Lamordia, is a mad scientist celebrated in the Lands of the Mist but reviled in her home world. She ordinarily has the statistics of a spy. Unlike the other two fragile, spy-based Darklords—Ivana Boritis and Ivan Dilisnya—Mordenheim is best kept closer to her original interpretation. She is not a warrior, but a creator of horrors. Still, this supplement does its best to ensure she can prove interesting in a battle and can survive for more than a single round against adventurers that decide to finally strike down Lamordia’s Darklord.
Lair and Lair Actions
Viktra can use lair actions while she is in her laboratory at Schloss Mordenheim as long as she isn’t incapacitated. The DC for saving throws imposed by these lair actions are determined by her statistics: DC 14 at Tier I and DC 16 at Tier II. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Viktra can take one of the lair action options below, or forgo using any of them in that round. Viktra can’t choose the same lair action twice in a row.
• Viktra unleashes a jar of 1d4+1 crawling claws that obey her commands and act on initiative count 20.
• An animate, detached arm reaches out from behind a shelf or other opening. It targets a creature of Viktra’s choice within 5 feet of it, making a grapple check (+8 to succeed). A creature grappled by the arm is also restrained.
• Viktra pulls back a curtain hiding an animate but disembodied medusa’s head whose petrifying gaze has been dulled by chemical injections. One creature of Viktra’s choice within 10 feet of the head must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned for 1 minute. The creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on a success.
• Viktra unleashes a cloud of laughing gas to which she is immune. The 15-foot-radius cloud originates at a point of her choice within 30 feet of her. Creatures in the gas when it appears must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or fall prone and become incapacitated for up to 1 minute. While incapacitated, a creature shrieks with laughter. At the end of each of its turns, and each time it takes damage, a creature can make another Constitution saving throw. The target has advantage on the saving throw if it’s triggered by damage. On a success, the effect ends
