Description
Appearance
Zylrel’s once-noble elven features are now gaunt and ashen, his skin cracked like desert stone. His eyes burn with violet soulfire, and his tattered cloak billows with spectral sand even in still air. Jagged crystals protrude from his flesh, glowing faintly with trapped souls. He wields a twisted musket fused with bone and obsidian, its barrel crackling with necrotic energy. A swirling aura of ash and whispers follows him, distorting light and sound.
Behavior
Zylrel moves with predatory silence, vanishing into shadows only to reappear with a thunderous barrage of gunfire. He speaks rarely, his voice a rasping echo of his former self, but his actions scream vengeance. Obsessed with punishing those who "abandoned" him, he toys with prey by luring them into gemstone-laced traps or isolating them in his sandstorms. When enraged, his form flickers between corporeal and spectral, and the crystals embedded in his body shriek with the voices of the damned.
Lair and Lair Actions
Zylrel lair is a shifting desert of ash and spectral ruins. His mind shattered into thousands of pieces. Small crystals are laying everywhere. Crystals contain Zylrel's lost memories.
Lair Actions
On initiative count #20 (losing initiative ties), the [monster name] takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the [monster name] can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Whispers of the Dead. All non-undead creatures must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom save or be paralyzed by fear for 1 round.
- Soul Sandstorm. Ranged attacks have disadvantage, and flying speeds are reduced to 0.
- Echoing Barrage. Spectral muskets fire at random targets. Each creature takes 4d10 piercing damage (DC 18 Dexterity save for half).
Use only if character knew Zylrel and you can remind their actual shared memory. (for additional emotional damage). Zylrel is also vulnerable to that, if character will try to bring back any memories, Zylrel will aim at them in his turn, but will not take a shot. - Blast from the past. When Zylrel old allies face him in battle Zylrel can remind them of their shared past, he can force that creature to make a DC 19 Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is overwhelmed by guilt and cannot attack Zylrel until the end of their next turn
