Lair and Lair Actions
The gothic manor looms above a poison swamp, its spires clawing a jaundiced sky while fog coils around cracked stone foundations. Crooked windows glow faintly, watching, judging, as blackened vines strangle gargoyles frozen in silent screams. Below the manor, hidden behind iron doors and forgotten crypts, a sinister laboratory hums with alchemical life, glass vats pulsing sickly green. The swamp exhales rot and venom, waters shimmering with unnatural colors, reeds whispering secrets of dissolved bones. No birds sing here. Only the manor endures, feeding its dark genius from decay. Every path sinks, every breath burns, and escape feels like treason.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 40 (losing initiative ties), Adam takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Adam can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- 5 human corpses fall from various points in the arena.
- Two Zombies emerge from piles of flesh and enter initiative.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary Adam’s lair is sickened, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- The land around the manor becomes a poisonous swamp.
- Adam releases weaker undead throughout the swamp to bar passage to his manor.
If Adam dies, these effects fade over the course of 2d10 days.
