Description
Dairan is an ancient dragon that is protecting a ship that is sinking on the Northern Sea's coast. The ship's original duty was to deliver five of Diamond Dragon's Eggs to the Shirne of Gold Dragons. The ship also contains diamonds and crystals, treasures. The last remaining diamond dragons gave Dairan and two other male diamond dragon the duty to protect that ship from attacks. Two of them has died since they started the duty. While in dragon form he is too heavy to the ice to hold his body, so he rather transforms into a Dragonborn, large humanoid, to fight with foes.
At Daldana's arena there's a treasure chest that is locked from inside. To get into the box the adventurers need to pass through a planar gate that's exit leads to the plane of Dairan. He stays there since thousands of years, waiting for the gold dragons to came and deliver the treasure he protects. Everyone who ever tried to steal from that ship was killed by him.
Lair and Lair Actions
Dairan's Lair
Dairan made his home on the remainings of an old ship that being frozen near the Daldanaian coast. On that ship there's a lot of ancient treasures, and oil barrels, gun powder, also around he made a collection of monumental statues, even the coast is full of big stones that are higher than the water's level. The weather is usually clean, cold in the short summers, but heavy storms are coming when the long evening and the winter starts.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Dairan takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Dairan can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The Dairan glimpses the future, so it has advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- One creature that Dairan casts Faerie Fire and Dancing Lights until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- Dairan smashes the ice that breaks in a 30 ft. cone in front of him. The cratures must succeed on a DC 18 DEX save, or take 15 (3d10) bludgeoning damage, on fail they fall into water. The swiming target is unable to breathe, or stand up. A creature can take an action to make a DC 12 Strength check, ending the swimming state.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary gold dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a 6-mile radius centered on its lair. The dragon doesn’t need to be outdoors; otherwise the effect is identical to the Control Weather spell. He prefers cold thunderstorms before battles - These storms reduce seeing range to 60 ft. also the small whirlwinds reduce flying speed with 10 ft.
- Dairan's fight tactic to drop creatures into cold water. Every turn they spend inside frozen water they take 10 (3d6) cold damage. Also swimming targets have disadvantage to avoid lightning damage, but they don't suffer thunder damage from Dairan.
- Gems and pearls within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair sparkle and gleam, shedding dim light in a 5-foot radius.
If Dairan dies, these effects end immediately.
