Reckless charge. If Asterion runs at least 20 ft in a straight line and collides with a player, it is a +5 hit with 1 target. target player rolls (1d8+3) bludgeoning and the target is knocked back based on how far the raging bull ran. Every 10 ft ran is worth 5 ft Knockback (KB)
20 ft= 10ft KB
30 ft= 15 ft KB
40 ft= 20 ft KB, etc (Note this is not an action, but part of his movement)
If Knockback causes a player to collide with a wall, and the target has their movement reduced by 10 ft
Shield Bash. Melee attack. Asterion swings his titanic, enchanted shield at a target in a 5 ft range, +3 to hit. The target takes (1D6+1) bludgeoning damage and is sent back 10 ft
Great Axe Swing. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 10ft in 180 degree angle, no target limit 9(1d12 + 3) slashing damage.
Cretan Crush. Asterion stomps and creates a miniature earthquake in a 35ft radius, and all entities in range roll a d8. If an odd number is rolled, the move speed of the enemy is lowered by 10 ft
Precarious Parry. If an attack comes toward Asterion, he always rolls a (1D6) and if a 3 is landed, Asterion will use his Shield bash to block the attack and do the regular 10 foot knockback WITHOUT DEALING DAMAGE to the attacker (it is a defensive parry, not a direct attack). The parry WILL however reflect back magic attacks for damage, but non-magic projectiles will harmlessly bounce off the parry.
Blessing of Hermes (once per battle second phase). Blessed by lord Hermes, god of thieves and travel. Asterion calls upon this power, regenerates to HP, and doubles knockback and move speed. He now swings his axe in a full 360 degree circle, with no limitation to how many targets can be hit. The axe now hits for 40 ft Knockback as well (not doubled). Every attack also fires a glowing beam that deals no damage but does 10 ft Knockback. The beam fires 15ft ahead of Asterions attack in whichever direction the bull is facing at the start of the attack
Description
A large, blue Minotaur with dull horns in a striking plated toga, causing large earthquakes around the island. Using a large crested shield that can reflect magic, and a great axe that will certainly deal some damage. At half health, Minos’ prized bull will activate his boon of Hermes, allowing him to knock players around wildly. A bounty on the head of the original Minotaur will earn you 300 gp. Please comment if any changes need to be made to set this beast down to challenge rating 5, I feel the Knockback is too crazy…
Lair and Lair Actions
The dark labyrinth of Daedalus.
The island above the Cretan crypt is being shaken by earthquakes by the hour. The party enters the labyrinth by a falling floor in a fancy looking cave, and they have no way to escape. The labyrinth is a winding underground maze with an enchanted darkness that gives all beings except Asterion a 30 ft vision. There are many, many Asterion exclusive portals that teleport him all over the labyrinth, giving the feeling of him being one step ahead of the players, with them constantly rolling (rather low) saves to dodge the barrage of charges. Asterion even breaks through walls, so no one is safe from his wrath. During this segment before the fight, the bull wears godly armor defending it from all damage. When the players stumble out of the darkness into the 100ftX100ft boss room, a chandelier falls and breaks his armor, allowing the fight to begin. The arena MUST be 100ft by 100ft so the Knockback effect can truly be “enjoyed” by the party. Cleansing the labyrinth of the Cretan monster will stop all the earthquakes on the island above and open a stairwell in the boss room back to the outside world
