Description
Ambrosia is the ancient brass dracolich responsible for the creation of the Pink Ocean. She possesses extremely potent magic, and she laced a system of magical tubes underneath the entirety of the Pink Ocean to extract the life force of any creature that rests upon it.
First Dracolich. Ambrosia was the first dracolich ever created, signing a contract with Tiamat that promised her immortality in return for the hastened death of everyone around her. Fearing the clod embrace of oblivion, Ambrosia accepted, turning into her current form. She didn't realize this at the time, but she drained the life force of her children to keep herself alive; when she eventually discovered the source of her children's deaths, she banished herself to an isolated demiplane of her own creation.
Pilgrim Hub. Interplanar travelers and races gifted with psionic abilities that stumble across the beautiful Pink Ocean are likely to stay there forever, becoming settlers. The Pink Ocean contains all the resources necessary for an omnivore to thrive, but at the cost of a severely decreased life expectancy. For example, a healthy githyanki will wither away in 46 days if unhealed. Cumhráins, Ambrosia's loyal servants, heal blighted creatures so that they can supply Ambrosia with life energy forever.
Phylactery. Ambrosia's phylactery is a rose quartz crystal worth 10,000 GP. Ambrosia hides the crystal within the flowers stuffed into her body.
Undead Nature. Ambrosia does not need to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep by nature of being undead.
Lair and Lair Actions
Ambrosia’s Lair
Ambrosia resides in the middle of the Pink Ocean, a demiplane of rolling hills covered with beautiful pink flowers floating somewhere in the Ethereal Plane. Ambrosia's lair is decorated with the marble ruins of a once-great civilization.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Ambrosia takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- Grasping blue vines, which are really Ambrosia's veins, surround the feet of any creature on the ground within 40 ft. of her. The effect is identical to the entangle spell, but creatures who end their turn while restrained by the veins take 20 psychic damage, and Ambrosia restores the same amount of hit points.
- Ambrosia roars, magically reanimating 2 corpses that died nearby. These corpses become cumhráins, and act on Ambrosia's initiative count.
Regional Effects
The Pink Ocean is warped by Ambrosia's magic, which creates the following effects:
- Creatures with Intelligence granter than 3 that begin a long rest while in the Pink Ocean have their maximum hit points reduced by 1d4 hit points. This reduction lasts until the creature leaves the Pink Ocean demiplane.
- Healing magic cast within the Pink Ocean (that is not performed by a cumhráin) only restores half the hit points it normally would.
- Whenever a creature is seen by a cumhráin, Ambrosia becomes aware of the creature’s presence and location.
If the Ambrosia dies, all effects fade immediately. Additionally, the demiplane of the Pink Ocean is obliterated within 1d6+1 days.
