This creature is “immune” to diseases
Any poison damage done to this creature heals it instead.
Caustic Reprisal. Slashing or piercing damage doing greater than 30 damage to Mortarion in one hit causes a spray of ‘blood’. Make a dexterity saving throw DC 15, take 4d6 acid damage on failure, half on success.
Mortarion can take 5 actions each turn. Each of the actions listed below cost 1 action.
Gloaming blight. Two thuribles are held aloft on either side of Mortarion by two monstrous insects I’d like clumps of tumorous growth. Mortarion takes 1 of his actions to activate this on the first turn, after that the poison will continue to seep out centered around the thurible. Poisonous gas emanates from the thurible on the right side of Mortarion. In a 30ft circle emanating from the thurible the following effects are observed:
(1d8 + 1) d6 poison damage to all creatures DC 20 constitution saving throw. Poisons on failure. On success take half damage
The two creatures have an AC of 18 and 30 HP. They have resistance to all damage type except radiant and force. If these creatures are killed the damage filed won’t move but the poison will continue to seep through.
Life Eater. Mortarion takes 1 of his actions to activate this on the first turn, after that the gas will continue to seep out centered around the thurible. The thurible held aloft on the left side of Mortarion releases a strange gaseous substance. Creatures that fall within 60 ft centered around the thurible will be affected as follows:
Creatures starting or ending their turn are affected and must make DC 24 Constitution saving throw. On failure creatures take 8d8 necrotic damage. The amount of damage taken reduces the Max HP by the damage dealt. On failure the damage repeats at the start of each of Mortarions turn.
Greater Restoration will stop the damage ticks as will the Flames of Isha. HP max can only be restored using either Heal (to increase HP that was reduced by the amount healed) or Wish (to remove debuff entirely) spell

Search. Mortarion can take an action to search the area DC 26 Perception. 3 success will allow Mortarion to activate his Syphon ability. Mortarion can only perform the searches if there is no one within 60 ft of him or if there is a downed PC in the room.
Syphon. Mortarion breaks down the barrier trapping Shard of the Pale Night and syphon its power. Players with proficiency in Arcana can make a DC 30 Arcana check to stop the syphon if they are within 30 ft of Mortarion. Syphon takes 1 turn to activate and Mortarion channels it till the end of his next turn. If this channel is not stopped the fight ends in defeat as Mortarion absorbs the power from the shard. The air crackles around him as putrid blight appears from warp, any creature alive takes on the corrupting influence of Nurgle’s breath. Nendless to say bad time is had by all trapped in this pocket dimension.

Description
Avatar of Mortarion: The ritual completed, the air crackles above the obelisks as the whine surround them dies down. In a moment that stretches out into a horrible lifetime, you hear tormented screams of the damned as the air shatters like glass. Out of the tear steps in a foul creature terrible to behold as horrible cheering and laughing now fills in the space between the anguished cries of millions.
The air feels heavy as this entities presence seems to cause the weave and reality itself to recoil around this creature. As the creatures begins materializing the crack in the air hums with power as do all remaining creatures of Nurgle in the battlefield. Existing creatures of Nurgle sacrifice 200 Hit points to complete the ritual of summoning. The tear in space closes as the Mortarions Avatar is made physical in this realm.
Avatar of Mortarion: 18 ft tall. Decked out in a strange plate armor cracked in places, seeping with pus, blood and poison. Enormous leathery wings stretch out from his back.
Two thuribles are held aloft on each side of Mortarion. Each thurible is about a foot across. Each is held aloft by two nurglings which look like bloated pustulated insectoid tumorous growth with wings.
Uncovered face wearing a strange device around his mouth and nose.
Carries a 25 foot long scythe. There seems to be a strange hum emanating from the blade of the scythe.
Sanity: Player Characters who successfully make their saving throws against Gloaming blight, Life eater or Grandfathers blessings lose their sanity as they are exposed to the madness of the twisted realm that Mortarion hails from. at the start of every round roll 1d4 and reduce that from the overall sanity a player character has (overall sanity = wisdom + intelligence + charisma modifiers)
Reducing Sanity has the following affects:
Loss of 1 - 5 : Disadvantage on Wisdom or intelligence based checks made to determine the nature of the creature being observed.
Loss of 6 - 10 : Disadvantage on Charisma based saving throws against the creature. Previous debuffs remain
Loss of 11 - 15 : Make a DC 15 perception check before every attack. On failure, attack will be made against a random creature and not the creature that was originally targeted. Previous debuffs remain.
Loss of 16+ : Affected creature suffers a break in their sanity, Sanity break actions to be determined based on discussion between player beforehand. Previous debuffs remain
Lost sanity can be regained based on player background. Most likely not during the fight
