Lair and Lair Actions
A Clockwork Dragon's Lair
Located inside the workshop of an Artificers Guild or the laboratory of an ancient super developed civilization or the garbage dump of a crazy technology crazed wizard, a Clockwork Dragon's Lair is riddled with different pieces of machinery and other technological and scientific equipment as well as a multitude of gadgets in different states of funcionality. It is a treacherous place to traverse for anyone not deeply familiar with its layout, often running into malfunctioning machinery and several hazardous materials and haphazardly constructed equipment.
The Clockwork Dragon is mainly used and programmed to protect its lair from intruders to keep the secrets hidden within it from prying eyes. Because of this it will probably react hostile to any adventurers stumbling across its hiding place. Through its innate and deep connection with the other technology inside its lair, the Clockwork Dragon gains Blind Sight out to a range of 30 feet while inside its lair.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Activate Drones: The Clockwork Dragon activates two Clockwork Servants that are controlled by it within 30 ft of it that act on their own initiative. The Clockwork Servants use the stats of the Duodrone (MM, page 225).
- Cable Management: The Clockwork Dragon connects to the various cables on the floor and begins to move them. Every creature that attempts to move on its turn must succeed on a DC 12 Strength Saving Throw or be restrained as the cables wrap around their body. A creature restrained in this way can attempt to free itself at the end of its turn with a DC12 Athletics check. This Lair Action lasts until the next one is determined.
- Workplace Hazards: A 10 ft line of dangerous effect emmits within 60 ft of the Clockwork Dragon at a point it can see. To determine the type of effect roll a D4:
1: A searing flame erupts from a broken furnace, dealing fire damage2: A stream of high pressure cooling gas is emmitted from a ruptured cooling pipe, dealing cold damage3: An arch of electricity connects through the air to another machinery, dealing lightning damage4: A small leak springs forth from a ruptured tank filled with acidic liquid, dealing acid damageEach creature in that line has to make a DC 12 Dexterity Saving Throw and take (2d4)damage on a failure and half as much on a success.
