Description
Rivenwood is a powerful druid who has been corrupted by dark magic. Their skin is mottled and twisted, and their hair and clothing are made of tangled vines and thorns. They can shapechange into a massive wolf or bear, using their immense strength and deadly claws to crush their enemies. They are also skilled in the use of plant magic, summoning thick vines to entangle and constrict their foes or unleashing a wave of thorns that can shred armor and skin alike. Their corrupting influence can also twist and warp the environment around them, making even the trees and plants themselves turn against the players
Lair and Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Rivenwood takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Rivenwood can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The ground in a 20-foot radius centered on Rivenwood becomes difficult terrain. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (3d8) piercing damage from the thorns and brambles that sprout from the ground.
- Rivenwood summons a swarm of insects in a 20-foot radius centered on itself. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 13 (3d8) poison damage and be poisoned for 1 minute.
Regional Effects
The region containing Rivenwood's lair is warped by its corrupting influence, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Plants in the area grow at an accelerated rate, becoming thick and overgrown.
- The ground becomes saturated with necrotic energy, causing undead creatures to rise in the area.
- Animals in the area become aggressive and territorial, attacking any creatures that intrude on their territory.
If Rivenwood dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
