Actions
Multiattack. Xa’ruth makes two longsword attacks.
Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage, or 10 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage if used with two hands.
Hellish Javelin. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) fire damage.
Bonus Actions
Infernal Rally. As a bonus action, Xa’ruth unleashes a guttural war cry laced with Abyssal command. Each fiendish ally within 30 feet that can hear him gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls and saving throws until the end of its next turn. Once he uses this ability, he can’t use it again until he finishes a short or long rest.
Reactions
Hellish Rebuke. When Xa’ruth is damaged by a creature he can see within 60 feet, he can use his reaction to point at the attacker and unleash flickering hellfire. The attacker must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 13 (3d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Xa’ruth can use this ability once per day.
Description
Xa’ruth Ironrend is a medium-built demon, his form rippling with obsidian-hued muscles rent by glowing crimson fissures. Two slender horns spiral from his temples, each tipped with brimstone shards, and his eyes flare like dying embers when he senses fear. His jagged grin reveals bone-like teeth that clatter with unearthly resonance. He wields a longsword etched with ever-shifting Abyssal runes, its blade humming softly as if alive, eager for mortal blood.
Lore: Xa’ruth Ironrend commands the Third Phalanx of the Iron Legion, leading demon foot soldiers who secure Abyssal gateways. Legends claim his war cry was forged from the echoes of a thousand dying gods and that a single tear of his can drive mortals to madness.
