Lair and Lair Actions
The cogwork librarian is assigned to guard important collections of books, scrolls, and other such knowledge repositories. When found in this environment, its challenge rating is 6.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the cogwork librarian takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it cannot use the same action two rounds in a row.
- Parchments animate and surround one creature of the cogwork librarian's choice it can see. The creature is effectively blinded until it can force its way out (Strength check, DC 15).
- A spell scroll animates and fires an eldritch blast (+6 to hit, 1d6 force damage) at one target the cogwork librarian can see within 60 feet.
- Stone tiles in the ground begin to buck and vibrate, making a 10-foot square area difficult terrain until the next lair action. Any creature standing in the area when this action occurs must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
