Description
The Undead High Priest of Mystra was a Mystran cleric and the highest member of the Lady of Magic's church during its life. As such, it was tasked with protecting The Final Creation, a tome written by the Lady herself as a detailed account of Nervanka's founding. It swore to protect the book in both life and death and the magic of the oath kept the Priest's soul tethered to the Material Plane. As the body rotted, the soul remained, creating the powerful undead creature it now is.
Lair and Lair Actions
The High Priest of Mystra resided in a large stone chamber at the end of the catacombs. Tasked with guarding The Final Creation, he embedded the walls with dangerous necrotic and/or divine energy to discourage intruders from staying long enough to find the tome... or get killed in the process. Other than that, the chamber is a regular bedroom with ancient, rotting furniture.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Priest takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- A pile of bones gets embued with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as 1d8 skeletons. At the end of each of the Priest's turns, the creatures take an action and are under the Priest's control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command it's given.
- A wave of Necrotic Energy bursts from the tome. All creatures within 30 ft. of the tome must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 2d10 necrotic damage with half as much damage on a success. If a creature fails, it can’t heal until the end of the next lair action.
- A 20-foot radius Darkness spell appears centered on a random creature for the next round.
- The Priest calls forth the spirit of someone entombed in the catacombs. This spirit has the statistics of a specter and lasts until the Priest uses a bonus action to dispel it or it is destroyed. The specter appears in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of the Priest and obeys his commands.
