Lair and Lair Actions
Azrak’s lair is a dark and foreboding place filled with ancient magic and malevolent energy. The environment itself acts as an extension of Azrak’s will, allowing him to exert additional influence and control over those who dare to enter.
Lair Traits:
-
Malevolent Presence: The lair is imbued with Azrak’s malevolent energy, creating an atmosphere of fear and dread. All creatures within the lair have disadvantage on saving throws against being frightened.
-
Dark Magic: The walls and floors of the lair are etched with arcane runes that pulse with dark magic. These runes can animate to attack intruders or form barriers that impede movement.
Lair Actions: On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Azrak can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Azrak can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
-
Dark Grasp: Shadowy tendrils emerge from the walls and floor, attempting to grapple and restrain intruders. Each creature of Azrak’s choice within 20 feet of a wall must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be restrained until the start of the next lair action.
-
Eldritch Fog: A thick, magical fog fills a 20-foot radius centered on a point Azrak can see within 60 feet of him. The fog lasts until the start of the next lair action. The area is heavily obscured, and creatures within it have disadvantage on saving throws.
-
Malevolent Whisper: Azrak utters an incantation, causing whispers of dark magic to fill the air. Each creature of Azrak’s choice within 30 feet of him must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed or frightened (Azrak’s choice) until the start of the next lair action.
