Lair and Lair Actions
The Clockwork Knights defend a magical clock tower at the heart of Lone Mountain. Every hour, on the hour, the clock tower's bells chime and age all creatures that can hear it by one year, granting or removing 5 levels of exhaustion depending on whether the creatures are awake. At the core of the clock tower's mechanisms lies a watch, granted by the Finality, which allows the tower to operate.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 24 (losing initiative ties), the Knights take a lair action to causing the following effects in sequence (one effect each turn):
- The Slow spell is cast, targeting all creatures within the clock tower. The DC on the saving throw is 18.
- Time is stopped for one turn, allowing all Clockwork Knights to move but not affect other creatures.
- Time moves forward one minute, affecting the duration of any spell or effect.
- All hostile creatures are moved to their locations from one turn prior.
- Any effects caused by creatures during the previous turn occur once more, but do not affect the Clockwork Knight.
- All Clockwork Knights immediately take a turn.
