Description
The self-proclaimed emperor of dragons, Za' Chien has terrorized towns for as long as he could remember. Adding additional life force onto a red dragon's already formidable might, Za' Chien is frighteningly strong. A scourge upon the land, the monster has holed up in a distant cave to guard his vast treasure trove. Curiously, he has a fear of lightning, despite his tremendous power. A mysterious crown lays upon his head, seemingly fixed in place by magic...
Lair and Lair Actions
Za' Chien's lair is a massive cave in the center of the largest continent. To say it is a cave is an understatement, it is more of a stronghold. Alarm spells are set up across the lair by his servants, and they are on constant patrol to guard his vast treasure trove. Before the room containing the trove, there is a 80 foot by 80 foot room where Za' Chien himself stands guard.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Za' Chien takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; he can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Part of the ceiling collapses above one creature that Za' Chien can see within 120 feet of him. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone and buried. The buried target is restrained and unable to breathe or stand up. A creature can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength check, ending the buried state on a success.
- Magical waves pulse outward from the ground where Za' Chien is standing or is flying above. A creature pushed by the waves must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
- Four jets of mystic fire shoot up from the ground. Roll a d4 to see who is in the radius of the jets, roll another d4 to see how many of them shoot up near said creature, and then roll a melee attack roll at advantage. If a jet hits, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) fire damage, or half that on a successful save.
