Description
Centuries have passed since the first telling of his story, which is one of myth and legend passed down through the generations by song and tale. Even though, this is an ancient proverb it is still told among small tribes of humans who live far from any civilization, deep in the wilderness. This is a tale told to young children, teaching them about arrogance, humility, and how to properly worship their divine creators. This tale of morality also illustrates the consequences of their actions. This tale is known as the
legend of Xavuor, the Plague Bringer.
Lair and Lair Actions
Xavour regional effects :
- Black clouds are scattered through the land, obscuring the area within 5 miles of his lair.
- Travelers who sleep within 1 mile of his lair have terrible nightmares and are unable to achieve a long rest. They all have nightmares of Vampires attacking them that look like Darkmoore.
- Undead roam the area for 10 miles from the lair.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Xavour takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Xavour can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- A cloud of swarming insects fills a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the Dragon chooses within 120 feet of it. The cloud spreads around corners and remains until the dragon dismisses it as an action, uses this lair action again, or dies. The cloud is lightly obscured. Any creature in the cloud when it appears must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 4d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the cloud repeats the saving throw and damage.
- Dark clouds bubble up from the ground at a point the dragon chooses within 60 feet of it, filling a 30-foot-radius sphere until the dragon dismisses it as an action, uses this lair action again, or dies. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it. If any of the effect’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.
- The ground rumbles in a location 120 feet from Xavour , vines lash out at all creatures within 30 ft . Creatures must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pulled to the origin of the vines, and knocked prone. If more than one creature is pulled , all creatures suffer 4d6 bludgeoning damage as they are slammed into eachother.
