- 3 Pillars of fire erupts from 3 points on the ground the beringei guardian can see within 120 feet of it, creating a 10-foot-high flame. Each creature in a flame’s area must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- Ruins crumble to the ground. A 20-foot diameter area the beringei guardian can see within 120 feet of it becomes difficult terrain. It lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- 2 beringei appear at a point the beringei guardian can see within 120 feet of it.
