Lair and Lair Actions
On initiative count 20, any active lair actions of the ki-rin resolve, in order. It then uses its Pummeling Gale and 3 more other actions, chosen from the below list:
- Crashing Gale: The ki-rin chooses a cardinal direction; the wind shifts and begins to howl with frightful speed in the chosen direction. Each creature not behind cover when this resolves must make a DC 17 Strength saving throw. On a failure, an affected creature takes 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage, is shoved 20 feet in the chosen direction, and is knocked prone. A creature that is shoved into a space adjacent to an object with movement remaining takes (# of remaining squares of movement)d8 additional bludgeoning damage. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage and is not shoved.
- Conduct Lightning: The ki-rin chooses a point within 1 mile of it and calls down lightning to strike the area in a 20ft radius, 1 mile high cylinder. Any creature in that area when this resolves must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 23 (3d10 + 5) lightning damage, or half as much damage on a success.
- Crackling Ring: The ki-rin causes the arena to flare up in concentric rings of crackling lightning. Two 5ft wide rings, beginning 10 ft and 25 ft from the center, engulf the area. Any creature in either of these areas when this effect resolves must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or 19 (4d6 + 5) lightning damage and become stunned until the end of its next turn, or half as much damage on a success.
- Crushing Reverberation. The ki-rin chooses a point within 1 mile of it and causes the air pressure within a 30ft cube of the chosen point to swell to deadly levels. Any creature in the area when this resolves must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 23 (4d8 + 5) thunder damage and become deafened, or half as much damage on a success.
