Description
Xene had risen the ranks as a ruthless Harpy who delights in the suffering of mortals. She had seen the lives of nobles that she had slaughtered and had heard of the notion of the title of Queen. Being forthright, Xene had pursued a flock of Harpies to obey her every command. She now rests on a small cove along the Siren Sea where she lures ships into the dangerous rocks and feasts on the corpses of mortals.
Now Xene has started to expand her Army into undersea life. Xene had learned to control a small legion of sharks at her disposal. This has incited seething anger from Thassa, the Goddess of the Sea. Thass would grant any Hero a boon should they Saly this newfound queen.
Cruel, corpse-eating creatures, harpies endlessly seek their next meal, careless of whether it comes from the living or the dead. With equal zeal, these vicious scavengers set upon travelers or claw open fresh graves, stripping bodies of riches and flesh. Then they carry back any treasures or appealing bones they find to reeking nests situated in cramped caves or rotten trees.
Lair and Lair Actions
Xene makes her lair on a large alcove of rocks along the Siren sea. Xene has gathered many bands of Harpies to reside within her cove, and several broken ships litter the rocky shores surrounding her nest.
Island of Songs. Many sailors know the call of Xene's domain as she has filled the air with a haunting melody. Many sailors know to brave the waters with earwax to aid them should they start to hear a Harpie's call.
Lair Actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Xene can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects. She can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Xene can command several Harpies to do her bidding. Each Harpy in Xene's cove can use their fly speed to move towards any danger or prey they can find.
- Xene has a small pack of sharks at her disposal within the waters. Xene can issue a command to her sharks to attack any creature with 5 feet of it, with a +7 to hit and dealing 10 (3d6) piercing damage on a hit. If the Target is medium or small, it is also grappled (DC15)
- Xene can monetarily control the winds with her songs. Xene can create a small torrent within 300 feet of her. Any creature within 300 feet must succeed a Strength Saving Throw (DC17) or be pushed 15ft. in whichever direction Xene chooses.
