Traits

False Appearance. While motionless, the animated tavern is indistinguishable from an ordinary tavern. 

Interior. The animated building can be entered. The inside is a 80x80 ft. square. The inside is furnished like the inside of any ordinary tavern. While inside, they are subjected to its lair actions. 

Actions

Topple. The animated tavern begins to fall on top of all creatures inside a 60x60 ft. square within 5 ft. of it. Creatures inside the area take 39 (6d12) bludgeoning damage at the end of their turn if they are still inside the area. The animated tavern crumbles and dies after taking this Action, its rubble becoming a permanent object in the terrain. 

Prick. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., 1 target. Hit: 20 (3d10 + 4) piercing damage. 

Description

The animated tavern is an ordinary structure animated by magical means. The features distinguishing it from a regular tavern are its strong insectile legs and single large protruding eye. It can retract both its monstrous features to appear like an inanimate structure. 

Lair and Lair Actions

The lair is considered the space inside of the animated tavern. 

Lair Actions

On initiative count 16 (losing initiative ties), the animated tavern takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • All furniture inside the animated tavern starts to shift and bolt around the room. All creatures within the tavern must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (3d8) bludgeoning damage or half as much on a successful save. 
  • The animated tavern's eye appears in the interior and observes its surroundings. A floorboard in front of a creature visible to it within the tavern springs up in an attempt to smack the creature. The animated tavern makes an attack against the creature, dealing 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage on a hit. Additionally a hit creature is knocked prone and drops any weapons its carrying. 
  • Its eye appears in the interior and observes its surroundings. A chandelier is lowered from the ceiling to the floor and swung toward a creature visible to it within the tavern. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 11 (3d4 + 4) piercing damage and be knocked back 20 ft. towards the taverns opening, falling outside if the creature leaves the interior area.
