Contingent Ambush
Ob forces use Lauryn Cyneburg’s teleportation powers to divide
the party while Kaja and constructs deliver withering gunfire.
Pardo and the occultists blast the party with devastating spells,
making it critical to take them out early. The screaming malice is a
big dumb monster that the PCs might want to keep their distance
from. The Ash Wolf can come to the party’s aid, if needed.
Lauryn opens combat by using maze against the most danger-
ous PC. Thereafter she activates an localized dimensional barrier
effect at the top level of the ziggurat in order to cut PCs who try to
teleport off from the rest of their allies, then uses her other spells
at range while keeping allies between her and the PCs. Typically
she’ll use a quickened hold person or scorching ray each turn, or
simply quickened invisibility to get out of trouble.
Lauryn Cyneburg

Magic Items. When Lauryn is knocked unconscious, her amulet
automatically teleports her to Flint’s teleportation beacon.
Fey Ancestry. Magic can’t put Lauryn to sleep.
Hivemind Presence. Two ghost councilors are bonded to Lauryn
through the Obscurati’s hivemind. Their presence grants her a fly
speed of 30 ft., immunity to being charmed or frightened, and allows
her to use Gestalt Strike. Whenever she fails a Wisdom saving throw
against a harmful effect, instead of harming her it harms the ghosts.
The first time this happens, the councilors snarl as they become
briefly visible. Once this happens 3 times or if the ghosts are dealt
50 points of radiant damage, they are destroyed. She loses all the
benefits of this trait, and while she remains loyal to the Obscurati, a
DC 30 Charisma (Persuasion) check or a successful dispel evil and
good spell (choosing the Break Enchantment option) can snap her
out of the hivemind altogether. A spirit medium who sees a creature
with this trait immediately knows how it functions and how to
overcome it.
Spellcasting. Lauryn is a 19th-level spellcaster. Her spellcasting abil-
ity is Charisma (spell save DC 20, +12 to hit with spell attacks). She
knows the following spells from the sorcerer’s spell list:
Cantrips (at will): chill touch, mage hand, mending, message,
prestidigitation, ray of frost
1st level (4 slots): detect magic, disguise self, enlarge/reduce,
identify, mage armor, shield
2nd level (3 slots): gust of wind, hold person, invisibility, scorching
ray, spider climb
Appendix: Combat Catalogue
3rd level (3 slots): dispel magic, major image, nondetection, protec-
tion from energy
4th level (3 slots): dimension door, greater invisibility, stoneskin,
wall of fire
5th level (2 slots): cloudkill, dominate person, hold monster
6th level (1 slot): seeming, true seeing
7th level (1 slot): delayed blast fireball, teleport
8th level (1 slot): dominate monster, maze
9th level (1 slot): none
Sorcery Points (19/Day). As a bonus action on her turn, Lauryn can
either expend one spell slot and gain a number of sorcerery points
equal to the slot’s level or create a spell slot by expending sorcery
points (1st-level—2 points, 2nd-level—3 points, 3rd-level—5 points,
4th-level—6 points, 5th-level—7 points).
Metamagic: Distant Spell. When Lauryn casts a spell that has a
range of 5 feet or greater, she can spend 1 sorcery point to double
the range of the spell. When Lauryn casts a spell that has a range of
touch, she can spend 1 sorcery point to make the range of the spell
30 feet.
Metamagic: Heightened Spell. When Lauryn casts a spell that forces
a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, she can spend
3 sorcery points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its
first saving throw made against the spell.
Metamagic: Quickened Spell. When Lauryn casts a spell that has a
casting time of 1 action, she can spend 2 sorcery points to change
the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.
Metamagic: Subtle Spell. When Lauryn casts a spell, she can spend 1
sorcery point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components.
Metamagic: Twinned Spell. When Lauryn casts a spell that targets
only one creature and doesn’t have a range of self, she can spend a
number of sorcery points equal to the spell’s level to target a second
creature in range with the same spell (1 sorcery point if the spell is a
cantrip). To be eligible for Twinned Spell, a spell must be incapable of
targeting more than one creature at the spell’s current level.
War Magic. Lauryn has advantage when she is concentrating on a
spell and has to make a Constitution saving throw from taking dam-
age, she can wield weapons or a shield in both hands and still make
somatic components for spellcasting, and she can use her reaction
to cast a spell (maximum casting time: 1 action) at a creature that
provokes an opportunity attack from her.
ACTIONS
Unarmed. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:
1 bludgeoning damage.
Masterful Insult. Ranged Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, range 100/200
ft., one target. Hit: The target is mildly embarrassed.
REACTIONS
Gestalt Strike. At the end of another creature’s turn, Lauryn can use
her reaction to make her hivemind lash out at a creature within 200
feet, dealing 35 (10d6) force damage and causing the creature to
move its speed in a direction of Lauryn’s choice (a DC 20 Wisdom
saving throw negates).
  Kaja tries to stay in the middle of the battle so she can keep the
PCs in the normal range increment of her firearms. Over the course of
three turns she’ll summon a walking turret and use Artillery Barrage,
then summon her double-barreled shotgun.

Challenge16 (15,000 XP)
Minions. Kaja has an iron bodyguard and can use a bonus action on
each of her turns to summon a walking turret. All of Kaja’s minions
act on her turn in the initiative order. Kaja can sense through her
minions (as in the find familiar spell).
 Additionally, while the iron bodyguard is within 60 feet of Kaja, she
has resistance to all damage. Each time she takes damage, the iron
bodyguard takes the same amount of damage.
Hivemind Presence. Two ghost councilors are bonded to Kaja through
the Obscurati’s hivemind. Their presence grants her a fly speed of 30
ft., immunity to being charmed or frightened, and allows her to use
Gestalt Strike. Whenever she fails a Wisdom saving throw against a
harmful effect, instead of harming her it harms the ghosts. The first
time this happens, the councilors snarl as they become briefly visible.
Once this happens 3 times or if the ghosts are dealt 50 points of radi-
ant damage, they are destroyed and she loses all the benefits of this
trait. Thereafter, while she remains loyal to the Obscurati, a DC 30
Charisma (Persuasion) check or a successful dispel evil and good
spell (choosing the Break Enchantment option) can snap her out of
the hivemind altogether. A spirit medium who sees a creature with
this trait immediately knows how it functions and how to overcome it.
Spellcasting. Kaja Stewart is an 11th-level spellcaster. Her spell-
casting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell
attacks). She has the following sorcerer spells prepared:
Cantrips (at will): detect magic, light, mage hand, resistance
1st level (4 slots): expeditious retreat, mage armor, shield
2nd level (3 slots): blur, cloud of daggers, misty step
3rd level (3 slots): fireball, slow
4th level (3 slots): black tentacles, conjure minor elementals
5th level (2 slots): cloudkill, conjure elementals
6th level (1 slot): circle of death
Spell Sharing. Whenever Kaja Stewart casts a spell, she can choose
to use her iron bodyguard as the spell’s point of origin.
Summon Ballistics (6/Long Rest). Once on each of her turns, Kaja
can summon fully-loaded firearms into her hands.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Kaja fires up to six times with her +1 pistols or five times
with her +1 shotgun.
+1 Pistol. Ranged Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, range 50/150 ft., one
target. Hit: 11 (1d10+6) piercing damage
+1 Shotgun. Ranged Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, range 30/90 ft., one
target. Hit: 15 (2d8+6) piercing damage.
4 |  EN5ider Presents: Avatar of Revolution, Part Three
Artillery Barrage (1/Long Rest). Kaja conjures a trio of mortar shells
fired from miles away to her location. They fall from the sky and strike
three squares within 500 feet. These squares must be at least 30 feet
apart. The shells explode upon impact, dealing 42 (12d6) bludgeon-
ing, piercing, and slashing damage to all creatures in a 30-foot radius
(DC 22 Dexterity saving throw halves). A creature that fails its save
is also knocked prone.
REACTIONS
Gestalt Strike. At the end of another creature’s turn, Kaja can use her
reaction to make her hivemind lash out at a creature within 200 feet,
dealing 35 (10d6) force damage and causing the creature to move its
speed in a direction of Kaja’s choice (a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw
negates).

Find Master. The bodyguard can unerringly find its master as long as
she is on the same plane.
Guard. The iron bodyguard is attuned to a master, in this case Kaja
Stewart. When its master is endangered, spirits swirl outward from
a witchoil reservoir in the bodyguard’s chest, bonding it with its
master’s life force. While the bodyguard is within 5 feet of its master,
attacks against the master have disadvantage.
Warding Bond. While the bodyguard is within 60 feet of its master,
the master has resistance to all damage. Each time the master takes
damage, the bodyguard takes the same amount of damage. This
effect ends when the bodyguard is reduced to 0 hit points.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The bodyguard attacks four times.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16
(2d8+7) bludgeoning damage. If the attack hits, the iron guardian
can use its reaction to make a Strength (Athletics) check to grapple
or shove the target.
Pardo’s Tactics.
Pardo uses harm on a spellcaster, then follows up with fire storm. He
tries to keep enemies out of melee range, though those who get to
him have to deal with his Wrecker trait to destroy weapons that strike
him.

Pack Tactics. The walking turret has advantage on an attack roll
against a creature if at least one of the walking turret’s allies is within
5 feet of the creature and the ally isn’t incapacitated.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The walking turret attacks three times.
Ungainly Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one crea-
ture. Hit: 7 (1d6+4) bludgeoning damage and the target is pushed 5
feet. If the attack misses, the walking turret falls prone.

Blindsense. If Pardo is able to hear, he is aware of the location of any
hidden or invisible creature within 30 feet of him.
Burning Magic. When a creature fails a saving throw and takes fire
damage from one of Pardo’s spells, that creature catches on fire.
The fire lasts 1d4 rounds, dealing 1 fire damage per spell level. The
creature can spend an action and make a DC 17 Dexterity saving
throw to put out the flames.
Constructed. Pardo’s constructed nature gives him advantage on
saving throws against mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, and
the stunned condition.
Feat: War Magic. Pardo has advantage when he is concentrating
on a spell and has to make a Constitution saving throw from taking
damage, he can wield weapons or a shield in both hands and still
make somatic components for spellcasting, and can use his reaction
to cast a spell (maximum casting time: 1 action) at a creature that
provokes an opportunity attack from him.
Hivemind Presence. Two ghost councilors are bonded to Pardo
Appendix: Combat Catalogue
through the Obscurati’s hivemind. Their presence grants him a fly
speed of 30 ft., immunity to being charmed or frightened, and allows
him to use Gestalt Strike. Whenever he fails a Wisdom saving throw
against a harmful effect, instead of harming him it harms the ghosts.
The first time this happens, the councilors snarl as they become
briefly visible. Once this happens 3 times or if the ghosts are dealt
50 points of radiant damage, they are destroyed. He loses all the
benefits of this trait, and while he remains loyal to the Obscurati, a
DC 30 Charisma (Persuasion) check or a successful dispel evil and
good spell (choosing the Break Enchantment option) can snap him
out of the hivemind altogether. A spirit medium who sees a creature
with this trait immediately knows how it functions and how to
overcome it.
Metal Shell. Pardo has a hard metallic exoskeleton that protects him
from harm but when badly damaged he cracks open to reveal his
sensitive inner machinery. When reduced to half his hit points or less,
Pardo loses his damage resistances to weapon damage and takes a
–2 penalty to both his AC and saving throws.
Savage Attacks. When the duplicant scores a critical hit with a melee
weapon attack, it can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one
additional time and add it to the extra damage of the criticaI hit.
Siege Monster. Pardo deals double damage to objects and structures.
Spellcasting. Pardo is a 16th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability
is Charisma (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). He has
the following spells prepared:
Cantrips (at will): guidance, light, mending, resistance, spare the
dying
1st level (4 slots): burning hands, command, inflict wounds, sanctu-
ary, shield of faith
2nd level (3 slots): augury, blindess/deafness, hold person, shatter
3rd level (3 slots): fireball, protection from energy
4th level (3 slots): freedom of movement, wall of fire
5th level (2 slots): antilife shell, conjure elemental (fire only)
6th level (1 slot): harm
7th level (1 slot): fire storm
8th level (1 slot): incendiary cloud
Wrecker. Pardo can use a bonus action to destroy nonmagical traps
with only his touch. Whenever he is dealt damage by an attack with a
manufactured weapon, he can require the weapon’s wielder to make
a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the weapon collapse
into dust immediately after striking him (magical weapons receive
an additional saving throw against this effect, ignoring it if either is a
success).
ACTIONS
Unarmed. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:
6 (1d4+4) bludgeoning damage.
Fire Breath (2/Day). Pardo exhales fire in a 15-foot cone. Each
creature in that area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw,
taking 24 (7d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage
on a successful one.
REACTIONS
Gestalt Strike. At the end of another creature’s turn, Pardo can use
his reaction to make his hivemind lash out at a creature within 200
feet, dealing 35 (10d6) force damage and causing the creature to
move its speed in a direction of Pardo’s choice (a DC 20 Wisdom
saving throw negates).

Arcane Recovery (1/Day). When the occultist finishes a short rest,
it can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can
have a combined level that is equal to or less than 8th level, and no
individual recovered spell slot can be higher than 6th level.
Defensive Spell Suite. Before combat, the occultist casts telepathic
bond, mirror image, mage armor, and true seeing.
Feat: War Magic. The occultist has advantage when it is concentrat-
ing on a spell and has to make a Constitution saving throw from
taking damage, it can wield weapons or a shield in both hands and
still make somatic components for spellcasting, and it can use its re-
action to cast a spell (maximum casting time: 1 action) at a creature
that provokes an opportunity attack from it.
Improved Figmentation. The occultist is able to simultaneously create
a sound and image when it casts minor illusion.
Instant Mirroring (1/Short Rest). The occultist can use its reaction
when it is attacked by a creature to create an illusory duplicate of
itself. The creature attacks this illusion, causing it to dissipate, and
the attack misses the occultist.
Magic Items. The occultist carries a potion of superior healing, potion
of darkvision, and bag of holding.
Malleable Figments. The occultist can use an action to to alter its own
illusion spells so long as the spell has a duration of at least 1 minute.
Real Illusion. Any time that the occultist casts an illusion spell of 1st
level or higher and again as a bonus action on subsequent turns, it
can choose one inanimate nonmagical object within the illusion to be
real for 1 minute. This object is unable to deal damage or otherwise
inflict harm.
Spellcasting. The occultist is a 16th-level spellcaster whose spellcast-

Chaos of Combat. Any creature that is adjacent to or in the swarm’s
space has a hard time focusing on magic. A creature casting a spell
or concentrating on a spell makes a Constitution saving throw
(DC 15 + spell level) or loses the spell.
Magic Weapons. The swarm’s weapon attacks are magical.
Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice
versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough
for a Medium creature. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain
temporary hit points.
Witchoil Fueled. Engines churn in the chests of these black metal hu-
manoids and rotten smoke billows from vents behind their shoulders.
Whenever the squad takes any type of damage other than radiant,
its space becomes stained with witchoil. When a creature first
enters into the space on its turn or ends its turn there, it must make
a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or its Strength score is reduced
by 1d4. The target dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise,
the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. The
witchoil is highly flammable, though, and any fire damage to the area
ignites and clears it.
ACTIONS
Troop Attack. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 5 ft., up to
4 targets (make a separate attack roll for each). Hit: 37 (6d8+10)
slashing damage, or 23 (3d8+10) slashing damage if the swarm has
half of its hit points or fewer.
Concussive Grenades (1/Day). The swarm hurls four concussive
grenades at a range of 100 feet. These explode upon impact, dealing
21 (6d6) thunder damage in a 10-foot radius. Each creature in the
area makes a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking half as much dam-
age on a success. In addition, on a failed save a creature is pushed 10
feet away from the center of the area.
Turret Volley. The swarm fires a fusillade in four 200-foot long lines
that are 5 feet across. Each creature in the areas must make aDC 17
Dexteritysaving throw. A creature takes 36 (8d8) piercing damage
on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
REACTIONS
Master Opportunist. The swarm can make an unlimited number of
opportunity attacks each round.

Challenge21 (33,000 XP)
Many-Headed. The screaming malice has five heads, each of which
occupies its own 10-foot square. When the malice moves it can move
its heads to any space within 25 feet of its body. The heads are part of
the screaming malice, and so share its AC and hit points. Effects that
inflict conditions or force movement can affect a head, but each head
tracks its conditions separately. The screaming malice can only make
attacks (including opportunity attacks) against creatures adjacent
to one of its heads, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls against
creatures adjacent to its main body.
Power Attack. When the screaming malice makes its first melee
weapon attack in a turn, it can choose to take a –5 penalty to its me-
lee weapon attack rolls in exchange for a +10 bonus to melee weapon
damage. In addition, the screaming malice can use a bonus action
to make one melee weapon attack after it uses a melee weapon to
reduce a creature to 0 hit points or scores a critical hit with it. The
screaming malice can only use this feature on its turn.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Screaming Malice makes five head bite attacks.
Head Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target.
Hit: 23 (4d6+9) piercing damage.
Shriek. The screaming malice roars at a creature adjacent to one of
its heads. The creature takes 35 (6d10) thunder damage and makes
a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or is slowed for 1 round (as the slow
spell).

Hunting Surge (Recharge 4–6). The Ash Wolf can use a bonus action
to releases a howl that focuses his predatory might. Until the end of
his turn, his Speed increases by 200 feet and advantage on checks
made to jump.
Innate Spellcasting. The Ash Wolf’s innate spellcasting ability is
Wisdom (spell save DC 23, +15 to hit with spell attacks). He can
innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components.
Constant: freedom of movement, pass without trace
At will: bestow curse, scorching ray
3/day: commune with nature
1/day: fire storm
Keen Hearing and Smell. The Ash Wolf has advantage on Wisdom
(Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the Ash Wolf fails a saving throw,
he can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The Ash Wolf has advantage on saving throws
against spells and other magical effects.
Magic Weapons. The Ash Wolf’s weapon attacks are magical.
Pack Bond. If the Ash Wolf is within a mile of his children, he can
sense through them and share some of his prowess. At any given time
he can bestow this power to up to 4 smoldering wolves. They gain a
+5 bonus to AC and attack rolls, as well as their father’s resistances
and immunities, but when they take damage an equal amount of
damage is dealt to the Ash Wolf.
  Once on his turn each round, the Ash Wolf can switch which 4
wolves he empowers in this way; typically when one of his em-
powered children is reduced below 50 hit points, he has that child
withdraw from battle and grants his power to another.
Pack Tactics. The Ash Wolf has advantage on an attack roll against a
creature if at least one of his allies is within 5 feet of the creature and
the ally isn’t incapacitated.
Quick. The Ash Wolf has advantage when rolling initiative.
Regeneration. The Ash Wolf regains 20 hit points at the start of his
turn if he has at least 1 hit point.
Smoky Mate. When first reduced below 200 hit points, the Ash Wolf’s
desperation calls forth the spirit of his long-dead mate who emerges
from the forest fire somewhere within 100 feet. Her body resembles a
similarly-titanic wolf composed of ash and smoke.
EN5ider Presents: Avatar of Revolution, Part Three  | 7
Appendix: Combat Catalogue
  She starts with 200 hit points, and has the same statistics as the
Ash Wolf, except she has a fly speed of 80 ft. (hover), no resistance
to cold damage, and gains the Incorporeal Movement trait (she can
move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult
terrain. She takes 5 (1d10) force damage if she ends her turn inside
an object.) The smoky titan’s attacks ignore natural armor, armor, and
shields. She cannot grapple creatures or knock creatures prone.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The Ash Wolf can use his Frightful Presence. He then
attacks twice. He can use his Swallow instead of his bite.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 50
(6d12+11) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it is grappled
(escape DC 27) or it makes a DC 27 Strength saving, falling prone
on a failure. Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. On a
critical hit, the target makes a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or
loses a limb. The effects of this limb loss are at the GM’s discretion.
Frightful Presence. Each creature of the Ash Wolf’s choice within 120
feet of him and aware of him must succeed on a DC 23 Wisdom sav-
ing throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat
the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if
it can see the Ash Wolf; the effect ends on a success. If a creature’s
saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is
immune to the Ash Wolf’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
Hurl Tree. The Ash Wolf uproots a massive tree (or lifts another
similarly sized object) and hurls it up to 400 feet. Creatures in a
40-foot radius must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw or take 70
(20d6) bludgeoning damage. The hurled object might knock down
obstacles in its path; at the GM’s discretion creatures in a 40-foot
wide line between the Ash Wolf and the attack’s target take 17 (5d6)
bludgeoning damage if they fail a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw.
Swallow. The Ash Wolf makes one bite attack against a Huge or
smaller creature he is grappling. If the attack hits, the target takes
the bite’s damage, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends.
While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total
cover against attacks and other effects outside the Ash Wolf, and it
takes 42 (12d6) bludgeoning damage at the start of each of the Ash
Wolf’s turns.
  If the Ash Wolf takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a
creature inside it, he must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving
throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures,
which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the Ash Wolf. If he dies,
a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by him and can escape
from the corpse by using 30 feet of movement, exiting prone.
LEGENDARY ACTIONS
The Ash Wolf can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options
below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and
only at the end of another creature’s turn. The Ash Wolf regains spent
legendary actions at the start of his turn.
Destructive Roll (Costs 2 Actions). The Ash Wolf flings himself at
the ground and rolls, crushing everything in an area 60 feet by 30
feet. Each creature in the area must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving
throw, taking 28 (8d6) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half
as much damage on a successful one.
Move. The Ash Wolf moves up to half his speed.
Chomp (Costs 2 Actions). The Ash Wolf makes one bite attack or
uses Swallow.

You and Your Friends.
This battle definitely pits Harkover Lee in dragon form against the
party, but they might also have to deal with Gale and Delft unless
they free them from Ob control ahead of time. Both Delft and
Gale are empowered by hiveminds, and if freed from them they
are unfortunately not strong enough to contribute in open battle
against Harkover.

Change Shape. As an action, Harkover magically polymorphs into a
humanoid that has a challenge rating no higher than his own, or back
into his true form. He reverts to his true form if he dies. Any equip-
ment he is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form
(Harkover’s choice). In a new form, Harkover retains his alignment,
hit points, Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, lair actions, and
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as this action.
His statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by those of the
new form, except any class features or legendary actions of that form.
Clever Melee Tactics. When Harkover scores a critical he can also
cast a dispel magic at the target of his attack as a bonus action.
Draconic Necrosis. As a side effect of keeping human form for so long,
while in dragon form Harkover’s old wounds deal 10 necrotic damage
to him at the end of each of his turns, and deny him his fly speed.
Fire Aura. Harkover is surrounded by intense heat. At the start of his
turn, creatures within 5 feet of Harkover take 3 (1d6) fire damage.
Flyby Attack. Harkover does not provoke opportunity attacks when he
flies out of an enemy’s reach.
Hivemind Pinnacle. Harkover is a critical part of the Obscurati’s plan,
so the two ghost councilors bound to him shield him from mental
assault and physical injury. They render him immunity to the charmed
and frightened conditions, and grant him 100 temporary hit points.
After he takes 50 damage, the councilors snarl as they become
briefly visible. Once Harkover loses all of his temporary hit points, the
councilors briefly lose their grip on him, and on Harkover’s next round
all he does is force out a warning—perhaps about how to disable the
explosion, or about how Cherage’s rail enclave is where the lanterns
in that city are controlled. Thereafter, the ghost councilors reassert
control, and Harkover fights until reduced to 0 hit points.

Magical Attacks. Harkover’s weapon attacks are considered magical.
Magic Resistance. Harkover has advantage on saving throws against
spells and other magical effects.
Smoke Vision. Harkover can see perfectly in smoky conditions.
Spellcasting. Harkover is a 17th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting
ability is Charisma (spell save DC 19, +11 to hit with spell attacks).
He knows the following spells:
Cantrips (at will): light, mage hand, mending, message, prestidigita-
tion, true strike
1st level (4 slots): alarm, detect magic, grease, magic missile, shield
2nd level (4 slots): scorching ray, see invisibility, suggestion
3rd level (4 slots): dispel magic, fireball, haste, sending
4th level (3 slots): greater invisibility, stoneskin
5th level (3 slots): arcane hand, legend lore
6th level (2 slots): globe of invulnerability
7th level (1 slot): delayed blast fireball
8th level (1 slot): mind blank
9th level (1 slot): time stop
War Magic. Harkover has advantage when he is concentrating on a
spell and has to make a Constitution saving throw from taking dam-
age, and can use his reaction to cast a spell (maximum casting time: 1
action) at a creature that provokes an opportunity attack from him.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Harkover can use his Frightful Presence. He then makes
six attacks: one with his bite, two with his claws, two with his wings,
and one with his tail.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 17
(2d10+6) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) fire damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit:
13 (2d6+6) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 17
(2d10+6) bludgeoning damage.
Wings. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit:
15 (2d8+6) bludgeoning damage.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). Harkover exhales fire in a 40-foot cone.
Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving
throw, taking 70 (20d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
Frightful Presence. Each creature of Harkover’s choice that is within
120 feet of him and aware of him must succeed on a DC 21 Wisdom
saving throw or becomefrightenedfor 1 minute. A creature can
repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the
effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful
or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Harkover’s Fright-
ful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Canny Pursuer. Stover has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks
to overhear conversations and can use Perception instead of Survival
when making a Wisdom check to follow tracks.
Cunning Action (1/Turn). Stover can take a bonus action to take the
Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
Evasion. When Stover is subjected to an effect that allows him to make
a Dexterity saving throw for half damage, he takes no damage if he
succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if he fails.
Hivemind Presence. Two ghost councilors are bonded to Stover
through the Obscurati’s hivemind. Their presence grants him a fly
speed of 30 ft., immunity to being charmed or frightened, and allows
him to use Gestalt Strike. Whenever he fails a Wisdom saving throw
against a harmful effect, it harms the ghosts instead. The first time
this happens, the councilors snarl as they become briefly visible.
Once this happens 3 times, or if the ghosts are dealt 50 points of
radiant damage, they are destroyed. Stover loses all the benefits
of this trait, and while he remains loyal to the Obscurati, a DC 30
Charisma (Persuasion) check or a successful dispel evil and good
spell (choosing the Break Enchantment option) can snap him out of
the hivemind altogether. A spirit medium who sees a creature with
this trait immediately knows how it functions and how to overcome it.
Lord of the Land. Stover gains a +4 bonus to AC, attack rolls, and
saving throws, a +2 bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitu-
tion checks (already included in his statistics), and can choose to
be treated as the same size as an enemy creature for effects and
mechanics that rely on size.
Loremaster. Stover adds +8 when making an Intelligence check to
recall information.
Monarch Saves. Stover has advantage on saving throws against being
charmed, frightened, and poisoned.
Regeneration. Stover regains 20 hit points at the start of his turn and
dies only if he starts his turn with 0 hit points.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn, 7d6). Stover deals an extra 24 (7d6) damage
when he hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the
attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of Stover that
isn’t incapacitated and he doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack
roll.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Stover attacks six times with his sword cane or four times
with his pistol.
Sword Cane. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 9 (1d6+6) magical piercing damage.
+1 Pistol. Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 50/150 ft., one
target. Hit: 13 (2d6+6) piercing damage.
REACTIONS
Gestalt Strike. At the end of another creature’s turn, Stover can use
his reaction to make his hivemind lash out at a creature within 200
feet, dealing 35 (10d6) force damage and causing the creature to
move its speed in a direction of Stover’s choice (a DC 20 Wisdom
saving throw negates).
Uncanny Dodge. When an enemy Stover can see hits him with an
attack, he can use his reaction to halve the damage he takes from it.

Air Affinity. Gale can innately control winds, she is immune to the
effects of strong wind, and flying animals are usually friendly to her.
Control Winds. Gale can control winds in a 360-foot radius. She
can use this ability for up to 13 minutes per day, in increments of at
least 1 minute at a time. Activating or controlling it is an action, but
no action is required by her to maintain the winds. She can increase
winds by up to three steps (enough to turn a still day into a severe
storm of 50 miles per hour, or a strong breeze into a small hurricane;
as control weather). Any creatures in the area other than her must
succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw at the start of each round
to resist the winds.
Fey Ancestry. Gale has advantage on saving throws against being

Cunning Action (1/Turn). Natalia can take a bonus action to take the
Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
Evasion. When Natalia is subjected to an effect that allows her to
make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, she instead
takes no damage if she succeeds on the saving throw, and only half
damage if she fails.
Implacable Will. Natalia is immune to the effects of detect thoughts.
When creatures attempt to charm Natalia the spell or effect appears
to function normally (making it seem as though she has been suc-
cessfully charmed).
Minor Hivemind Presence. A single ghost councilor is bonded to
Natalia through the Obscurati’s hivemind. This gives creatures
disadvantage on attack rolls made against her. Whenever she fails
a Wisdom saving throw against a harmful effect, instead of harming
her it harms the ghost. The first time this happens, the councilor
snarls as it becomes briefly visible. Once this happens three times or
if the ghost is dealt 50 radiant damage, it is destroyed. She loses all
the benefits of this ability, and is permanently slowed (as the slow
spell). While she remains loyal to the Obscurati, a DC 30 Charisma
(Persuasion) check or a successful casting of dispel good and evil
(using the Break Enchantment option) can snap her out of the
hivemind altogether. A spirit medium who sees a creature with this
trait immediately knows how it functions and how to overcome it.
Natural Liar (5/Long Rest). Natalia may use her Cunning Action to
draw upon dark inspiration that grants her advantage on a Charisma
(Deception) or Charisma (Persuasion) check.
Reliable Talent. When Natalia makes an ability check that lets her add
her proficiency bonus, she can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.
Secular Presence. Spells and magical effects deal half damage with a
30-foot radius of Natalia; other spells and magical effects have only a
50% chance of affecting creatures in the area. Powers of magic items
cannot be activated in the area. Powers that have an indirect effect,
such as using telekinesis to throw something into the area, function
normally. Natalia’s own traits are not suppressed by this feature.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn). Natalia deals an extra 24 (7d6) damage
when she hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on
the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of Natalia
that isn’t incapacitated and she doesn’t have disadvantage on the
attack roll.
Undetectable. Natalia is under the constant effects of the nondetec-
tion spell. She may suppress or reactivate this feature as a free action
even while incapacitated.

+1 Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft.
or 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d4+6) magical piercing damage.
Immediately after hitting or missing the target, a thrown magical
dagger reappears in Natalia’s hand.
+1 Shotgun. Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 30/90 ft., one

Submit! Natalia focuses the will of the city-wide hivemind to try to
crush a foe’s psyche. Choose a creature Natalia can see. If the target
makes a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw, it takes 18 psychic damage
and is stunned until the end of her next turn. On a failed save, it must
attempt a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or it is reduced to 0 hit
points and starts to die. On a successful save, the takes 7d6+18
damage and is stunned until the end of Natalia’s next turn.
REACTIONS
Obscured Nature. By spending her reaction, Natalia may be treated by
one known effect or spell as though she were an unaligned creature.

made against spells and other magical effects.

following benefits for 1 hour: her size increases to Large (doubling
her height and multiplying her weight by 8) and she appears angelic,
she gains 50 temporary hit points, and she gains a +3 bonus to AC,
attack, and damage rolls.
Terrible Rejuvenation. At the start of Ashima-Shimtu’s turn, if there
is a creature within 30 feet of her that is frightened or suffering from
confusion, she regains 30 hit points.

damage, she can wield weapons or a shield in both hands and still
make somatic components for spellcasting, and can use her reaction
to cast a spell (maximum casting time: 1 action) at a creature that
provokes an opportunity attack from her.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Ashima-Shimtu attacks four times with her spiked chain
or twice with her claws.
Appendix: Combat Catalogue
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:
6 (1d6+3) slashing damage plus 11 (2d10) necrotic damage. The
target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the
necrotic damage taken, and Ashima-Shimtu regains hit points equal
to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long
rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Spiked Chain. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one tar-
get. Hit: 11 (2d4+6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.

effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful
or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Ashima-Shimtu’s
Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Ashima-Shimtu can see within 60 feet of her must succeed on a
DC 28 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by Ashima-Shimtu;
she then disappears, and the target is incapacitated and loses
control of its body. Ashima-Shimtu now controls the body but doesn’t
deprive the target of awareness. Ashima-Shimtu can’t be targeted
by any attack, spell, or other effect, and she retains her alignment,
Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and immunity to being charmed
and frightened. She otherwise uses the possessed target’s statistics
(including the target’s knowledge, class features, and proficiencies).
  The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, Ashima-
Shimtu ends it as a bonus action, or she is forced out by an effect like
the dispel evil and good spell. When the possession ends, Ashima-
Shimtu reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the
body. The target is immune to this Ashima-Shimtu’s Extraordinary
Possession for 24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after
the possession ends.

Exceptional Dwarven Resilience. Hastenschrieft has advantage on
saving throws made against poison, spells, and other magical effects.
Minor Hivemind Presence. A single ghost councilor is bonded
to Hastenschrieft through the Obscurati’s hivemind. This gives
creatures disadvantage on attack rolls made against her. Whenever
she fails a Wisdom saving throw against a harmful effect, instead
of harming her it harms the ghost. The first time this happens, the
councilor snarls as it becomes briefly visible. Once this happens three
times or if the ghost is dealt 50 radiant damage, it is destroyed. She
loses all the benefits of this ability, and is permanently slowed (as
the slow spell). While she remains loyal to the Obscurati, a DC 30
Charisma (Persuasion) check or a successful casting of dispel good
and evil (using the Break Enchantment option) can snap her out of
the hivemind altogether. A spirit medium who sees a creature with
this trait immediately knows how it functions and how to overcome it.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Hastenschrieft makes three melee weapon attacks.
+1 Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 7 (1d10+2) magical slashing damage.
Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or
range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4+1) piercing damage.
Stone Hammer. Hastenschrieft creates an animated object out of a
large amount of stone in any space within 100 feet. This can be loose
or worked stone, such as the walls of buildings. The object attacks
an adjacent creature (+8 bonus to hit, 4d10+16 damage), then
collapses back into stone.

Chiaroscuro Bomb (2/Short Rest). Kvarti can use a bonus action
to throw an alchemical item at a spot within 20 feet, and chooses to
either create a cloud of obscuring smoke that fills a 10-foot square,
or a blinding flash that forces each creature within a 10-foot square
to make a DC 17 Constitution save or be blinded until the start of
Kvarti’s next turn.
Elite Gunner. After Kvarti hits or misses with a firearm, his target
cannot make opportunity attacks until the start Kvarti’s next turn.
Exceptional Dwarven Resilience. Hastenschrieft has advantage on
saving throws made against poison, spells, and other magical effects.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Kvarti fails a saving throw, he can
choose to succeed instead.
Shadow Teleport (Recharge 6). On his turn, Kvarti may teleport
to any location in line of sight that is inside of or adjacent to one of
Trekhom’s spires or towers. He can bring up to one other Medium
creature with him, and he may make a Dexterity (Stealth) check to
hide when he arrives at his destination.
Sniper’s Eye. As long as Kvarti is within one of Trekhom’s towers, he
has a constant true seeing spell active.
Unerring Marksman. Unless Kvarti has disadvantage on an attack, he
treats any attack roll where the die is 9 or lower as if he had rolled a
natural 10.
  If Kvarti doesn’t move, he can aim down the rifle’s scope and fire
with range 360/1,080 ft., though he is treated as blinded relative to
all creatures except his target until his next turn.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Kvarti uses Icy Shove and attacks five times.
Rifle of the Icy End. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit; range
90/270 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8+3) magical piercing damage
plus 3 (1d6) cold damage. The target’s speed is reduced by half on its
next turn.
  Even if Kvarti’s attack misses, the target takes 3 cold damage and
has its speed reduced.
Icy Shove. Each enemy adjacent to Kvarti must make a DC 17 Strength
saving throw or take 3 (1d6) cold damage, be pushed back 5 feet,
and restrained until the start of Kvarti’s next turn.
LEGENDARY ACTIONS
Kvarti can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below.
Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the
end of another creature’s turn. He regains spent legendary actions at
the start of his turn.
Attack. Kvarti makes an attack.
Preparation Pays Off. Kvarti uses a small arcanotech device that ends
a condition affecting him (like blinded, grabbed, or prone), or he can
dispel any spell of 3rd level or below within 30 feet.
Reposition. Kvarti flings a tiny flash bomb to the floor. He makes a
Dexterity (Stealth) check, then moves his speed. Any creature whose
passive Perception he beats does not see his movement, though his
position might be obvious if he isn’t behind cover or concealment.

+3 Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 11 (1d8+7) magical slashing damage or 12 (1d10+7)
magical slashing damage if wielded in two hands.
Wand of Magic Missiles (7 charges). While holding it, Cula can
expend 1 or more of this wand’s charges to cast magic missile from it.
For 1 charge, she casts it at 1st level; she can increase the spell slot
level by one for each additional charge she expends.
REACTIONS
Magical Counterstrike. When Cula hits a creature with a melee weapon
attack, she can use her reaction to cast dispel magic on the target.

Backlash. Nicodemus is destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points,
though the description will vary based on circumstances. Each
creature linked to Nicodemus (see Welcome to the Obscurati) takes
100 damage, but cannot be reduced below 1 hit point in this way.
Divine Presence. The Sacrament of Apotheosis allows Nicodemus
to move objects as if he were Large-sized and at a range of 20 feet.
This allows him to lift a column by spending four turns of movement,
if somehow the colossus Borne cannot aid him (he can also grow in
size to Large as a free action, but that’s not really his style, so don’t
bother unless another PC is also gigantic and attacking him in order
to maintain a good aesthetic for the battle.)
Ethereal Sight. Nicodemus can see 60 feet into the Ethereal Plane
when he is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.
Feat: War Magic. Nicodemus has advantage when he is concentrating
on a spell and has to make a Constitution saving throw from taking
damage, he can wield weapons or a shield in both hands and still
make somatic components for spellcasting, and can use his reaction
to cast a spell (maximum casting time: 1 action) at a creature that
provokes an opportunity attack from him.
Icon Swap. As a bonus action or instead of using his movement on his
turn, Nicodemus chooses an exposed ritual column within 50 feet
and telekinetically removes the planar icon in it, drawing the item
to his hand; or he delivers an icon he is carrying to the alcove in that
column (thus it takes him a bonus action and his movement to fully
swap out an icon.)
Incorporeal Movement. Nicodemus can move through other creatures
and objects as if they were difficult terrain. He takes 5 (1d10) force
damage if he ends his turn inside an object.
Innate Spellcasting. Nicodemus’ innate spellcasting ability is Cha-
risma (spell save DC 24). He can innately cast the following spells,
requiring no material components.
1/day each: blade barrier, resilient sphere, wall of force, wall of fire
18 |  EN5ider Presents: Avatar of Revolution, Part Three
Malevolence (1/Round). Nicodemus can merge his body with an
adjacent creature on the Material Plane (as the magic jar spell except
that it does not require a receptacle) that fails a DC 24 Wisdom
saving throw. A creature that successfully saves is immune to
Malevolence for 24 hours.
Sacramental Invulnerability. Due to the Sacrament of Apotheosis,
Nicodemus has 230 temporary hit points, a +5 magical bonus to
AC, advantage on saving throws and advantage on saving throws.
In addition he has resistance to all types of damage and immunity
to conditions caused by other creatures, but loses these defenses
against any attacking creature that addresses him by his real name
(William Miller) at some point during the encounter.
Shadow-Cloaked. Nicodemus is constantly cloaked in darkness that
makes him heavily obscured and immune to non-radiant damage and
conditions not caused by spells that specifically target undead. If he
is adjacent to a source of bright light, or when Nicodemus takes radi-
ant energy damage, the shadows are peeled away and this protection
lost until the end of the attacker’s next turn. Simply being in the
radius of a light source, however, is not enough (the central pit of the
Axis Seal ritual is a bright light source.)
Turn Resistance. Nicodemus has advantage on saving throws against
any effect that turns undead.
War Magic. Nicodemus has advantage when he is concentrating on a
spell and has to make a Constitution saving throw from taking dam-
age, he can wield weapons or a shield in both hands and still make
somatic components for spellcasting, and he can use his reaction
to cast a spell (maximum casting time: 1 action) at a creature that
provokes an opportunity attack from him.
Welcome to the Obscurati. Whenever Nicodemus would take dam-
age, for each PC who linked to a plane during this encounter, prevent
10 of that damage and instead deal that 10 damage to the PC. This
link ends if the column the PC lowered is destroyed. Additionally,
each time a PC links a plane, Nicodemus may take an extra action on
his next turn.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Nicodemus attacks twice.
Withering Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 36 (6d8+9) necrotic damage, and the target makes a
DC 24 Constitution saving throw or its Constitution score is reduced
by 1d4. The target dies if this reduces its Constitution to 0. Other-
wise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest.
If a humanoid dies from this attack, a new ghost rises from the corpse
1d4 hours later.
Thoughtseize. Nicodemus chooses one creature within 50 feet. If the
target fails a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw, it takes 5d6+20 psychic
damage and Nicodemus can cause it to move up to its speed and take
an action of his choice (using the target’s reaction if it still has one)
either before or after the movement.
Worldwide Rebuke. Melee Spell Attack: +16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 37 (5d6+20) force damage and the target is pushed 10
feet away. In addition, the target must make a DC 24 Strength saving
throw or be knocked prone and slowed (as the slow spell) until the
end of Nicodemus’s next turn. Until the target succeeds on a saving
throw, at the start of each of its turns it repeats the save or is pushed
10 feet further away.
 Appendix: Combat Catalogue

THRESHOLD ACTIONS
As Nicodemus takes damage, his traits and attacks change as follows,
and he gains different traits and attacks.
When Nicodemus runs out of temporary hit points,his Divine Pres-
ence increases to Huge, a range of 50 feet, and he needs only two
uses of movement to lift a column.
A Future Obscured. Nicodemus reels a bit, then makes a flicking
gesture as if tossing away a cigarette. All negative effects affect-
ing Nicodemus end. Smoke fills the entire battlefield, lasting until
the end of Nicodemus’s next turn. This smoke heavily obscures the
area to all creatures except Nicodemus, who can see through it.
Hungry Darkness. Nicodemus can use an action to conjure icy
shadows in a 10-foot radius around a point within 200 feet.
Creatures in the area make a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw, taking
78 (4d8+60) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much on a
successful one. Creatures who fail the save are also blinded, have
their movement speeds reduced by half, and take 17 (5d6) cold
damage each round. A creature suffering from this effect can make
a DC 24 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns,
ending the effect for itself on a success.
When Nicodemus is reduced to half hit points, h  is Divine Presence
increases to Gargantuan, a range of 200 feet, and he needs only one
use of movement to lift a column.
Miller’s Pyre. Nicodemus falls to the ground then pushes himself up,
looking around in a sudden panic, for he has landed atop a tall pile
of smoldering books and scrolls, as spectral and insubstantial as
he. The papers ignite, and he screams with shock as his ghostly
form is engulfed. For a moment it seems he might fall, but then
the pyre flares to 50 feet tall and he emerges, incandescent with
rage. All negative effects affecting Nicodemus end. He loses the
Shadow-Cloaked trait and instead emits bright light in a 50-foot
radius; this light deals 35 (10d6) radiant damage to any creature
that ends its turn in the area.
Pyrebound Grasp. Nicodemus can use an action to reach out for the
spirit of a creature within 50 feet and attempt to draw it into his
own shining soul. The target must make a DC 24 Wisdom saving
throw or take 78 (4d8+60) fire damage and be drawn 50 feet to-
wards Nicodemus. If the creature is below half of its total hit points
after taking damage, it falls unconscious as its spirit is bound to
Nicodemus. Any damage or conditions dealt to Nicodemus are
dealt to the bound target instead. Each round, the target may
repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Nicodemus can only have one spirit bound to him at a time. When
the target saves, or when the target is reduced to 0 hit points, it is
released and Nicodemus may use this trait again.

Ending with a Bang.

As long as the party gets to do amazing things in the final battle, it’s
not really necessary to push them to the brink of failure. While that
certainly adds to the suspense and drama, it might also be gauche to
risk tpk-ing the party at the end of a long campaign.

Arcane Reflection. Magical glyphs along Borne’s armor deflect cones,
lines, rays, and magic missile spells, rendering him immune to such
effects. There is a 30% chance a deflected effect reflects back in full
force at the caster; otherwise it is simply negated.
Damage Threshold. Borne does not take damage from an attack, spell,
or other effect that deals 10 points or less of bludgeoning, piercing,
or slashing damage (calculated after resistances).
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Borne fails a saving throw, it can
choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. Borne has advantage on saving throws made
against spells and other magical effects.
Massive. Borne ignores difficult terrain, magical effects can’t reduce
his speed, and he cannot be pushed or pulled more than 25 feet in a
round. A creature can jump onto Borne’s back or climb up a limb by
making a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check op-
posed by his Dexterity check to cling to or balance upon his body. On
a success, it moves into Borne’s space and can move upon its body as
if he is difficult terrain.
  While grabbing onto Borne, a creature gains advantage on attack
rolls against him. Borne can use an action to dislodge such a creature
by shaking it loose or bashing it against a wall by making a Strength
(Athletics) check opposed by the creature’s Strength (Athletics)
or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check, causing it to take 55 (4d20+13)
magical bludgeoning damage and knocking it prone into the nearest
adjacent unoccupied space.
  Other Gargantuan creatures ignore Borne’s immunity to the
prone condition.
Obscurati-Granted Wards. In addition to the already unparalleled
wards inscribed into his armored skin, and the balancing magic of
a wayfarer’s lantern integrated into his chest, Borne is shielded by
massive defensive magic being performed around the island. This
grants him advantage on saving throws made against spells and
other magical effects, and he takes no damage from the energy
tendril coming out of the seal’s center.
  If the various machines the Obscurati set up around the island are
destroyed, the protection they generate vanishes. This has no effect
on personal-scale weapons, but it means the energy tendril can harm
Borne. Likewise, if the lantern in his chest is destroyed (see below),
he becomes vulnerable.
20 |  EN5ider Presents: Avatar of Revolution, Part Three
  Most of the energy in the tendrils dissipates into the air when it
hits a smaller creature, but Borne is so enormous that if he’s in the
path of the energy tendril, he takes 200 damage each round (ignoring
resistances and immunities).
Ponderous. Borne does not receive reactions and it is slow to
physically act. Whenever Borne takes the Attack action to make a
melee weapon attack, its attack does not strike until the start of its
next turn. If the target of its attack has moved out of the area Borne
misses the target but may hit other creatures or objects still in the
area.
Riven Armor. The repairs Nicodemus effected were hasty and the
result of magic, not engineering. The once impenetrable colossus
has cracks in his armor. Four main locations on Borne’s body are
particularly vulnerable. A creature that spends an action examining
the colossus automatically detects these vulnerabilities. Otherwise,
if a creature comes within 50 feet of any of these weak points, they
become apparent. Each of these four areas has weaker armor (AC
18). Dealing 100 points of damage to one of these areas (this damage
also affects Borne’s current hit point total) creates a Large-sized
opening. Inside each area are vulnerable components with AC 18 but
no immunity to weapon damage or any other defensive traits.
* Either knee (75 feet up). Inside the knee, the joint can be targeted.
If it is dealt 50 damage, Borne’s speed is reduced by half. If both
knees are damaged, his speed falls to 10 feet.
* Under the chest plate (200 feet up). Under the chest plate, the
integrated wayfarer’s lantern can be targeted. If it is dealt 10 dam-
age it shatters, and Borne takes a –1 penalty to AC, attack rolls,
and saving throws for each plane currently linked to the world that
was not part of the cosmology when he was built.
* Left armpit (225 feet up). In the left armpit, the joint can be
targeted. If it is dealt 50 damage, the arm falls limp. The GM
determines what actions Borne might be unable to do because one
of his arms is out of commission (or have him tear off his own arm
to use as a club and increase his reach by 30 feet.)
* Dorsal vents for witchoil engine (250 feet up on his back). If the
witchoil engine is reached, creatures in that compartment take 28
(8d6) fire damage at the end of each turn from the waste heat.
If the engine is dealt 200 damage, it destabilizes. At the end of
the attacker’s next turn, the engine explodes in a 100-foot radius
centered on the dorsal vent. The explosion deals 140 (40d6)
fire and necrotic damage to all creatures in the burst (a DC 26
Dexterity saving throw halves this damage. Creatures that fail
their saves are also pushed to the edge of the burst. After the
explosion, Borne falls, powerless. He can still speak, but cannot
take other actions.
Truly Colossal. Borne is 300 feet tall and fills a space 100 feet across.
He could reasonably be represented on a battle map by having a
5-foot tall person stand above the minis. A turn’s worth of movement
for him represents a single step, his foot swinging slightly slower
than a horse can gallop.
Vulnerable to Mind-Affecting Effects. Because of his advanced
intellect, Borne is susceptible to mind-affecting effects that charm
or deal psychic damage. However, a creature must be within range of
his head to target him with mind-affecting effects, which is 300 feet
off the ground.

ACTIONS
Colossus Smash. Melee Weapon Attack: +21 to hit, reach 100 ft., mul-
tiple targets (20-foot radius centered on one target; roll separately
for each creature and object in the area). Hit: 55 (4d20+13) magical
bludgeoning damage and the target makes a DC 29 Strength saving
throw or is pushed 50 feet away and knocked prone.
Spirit Cascade. Borne blasts spirits from his witchoil-fueled engine
out of his eyes to any area he can see within 1,200 feet. All creatures
in a 10-foot-radius must make a DC 26 Constitution saving throw,
taking 35 (10d6) necrotic damage and reducing their Strength
scores by 1d4 on a failed save. A creature dies if this reduces its
Strength to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes
a short or long rest.
Stomp. Borne chooses a spot within 30 feet. At the start of his next
turn, he stomps his foot down at that location. All creatures in a
20-foot-radius burst take 100 magical bludgeoning damage (a DC 29
Dexterity saving throw halves this damage). A creature that fails its
save is also knocked prone.

Ethereal Sight. The ghost council swarm can see 60 feet into the
Ethereal Plane when it is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.
Incorporeal Movement. The ghost council swarm can move through
other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5
(1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
Oppressive Moan (Recharge 6). The ghost council swarm lets loose
a terrifying moan as a bonus action. Each creature within 60 feet of
it that can hear it moan takes 35 (10d6) thunder damage and must
succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or becomefrightenedfor
1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, a frightened creature can
repeat its saving throw to end the effect. On a successful save, a
creature takes half damage and is not frightened.
Appendix: Combat Catalogue
Spectral Wall (3/Long Rest). The ghost council swarm can use a
bonus action to innately cast wall of force without the need for any
components.
Splinter. The ghost council swarm’s abilities change as it takes
damage.
Threshold 1 (below 160 hp). The swarm can use Oppressive Moan
once on each of its turns with no action required. It also becomes
invisible until the next time it attacks, and flies 50 feet without
provoking opportunity attacks.
  The swarm can grab any creature it damages with its Withering
Touch (escape DC 15) and can maintain up to four grapples at once
using its bonus action. A grappled creature automatically takes dam-
age from Withering Touch at the start of each of the swarm’s turns.
Threshold 2 (below 90 hp). The swarm is reduced to 6 contiguous
squares as several of the spirits shake their heads and fly away,
moving 50 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
  The swarm can telekinetically hurl its foes. Once every 1d4 rounds,
the swarm can use the violent thrust version of telekinesis against
every creature within 50 feet (using Charisma as its spellcasting
ability).
Swarm of Ghosts. The ghost council swarm can occupy another
creature’s space and vice versa. The ghost council swarm can’t regain
hit points or gain temporary hit points. The swarm needs only fill
9 contiguous 5-foot squares, and can stretch across a battlefield.
Enemies can move through the ghost council swarm, which counts as
difficult terrain. The damaged ghosts discorporate but will return in a
few days unless Nicodemus the Mastermind is defeated.
Turn Resistance. The ghost council swarm has advantage on saving
throws against any effect that turns undead.
Welcome to the Fold. The ghost council swarm focuses their ill will on
one creature sharing their space, attempting to rend its soul from its
body. The target takes 42 (12d6) necrotic damage (a DC 19 Wisdom
saving throw halves this damage). Until the end of the encounter,
the target’s attacks deal full damage to the swarm (ignoring damage
resistances). If this attack kills the target, it finds its consciousness
being drawn into the ghost council, but if it returns to life at some
point during this encounter, it is freed from the council, and the
swarm is stunned until the end of its next turn.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The ghost council swarm attacks three times.
Withering Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 33 (8d6+5) necrotic damage plus 7 (2d6) energy
damage (either acid, cold, fire, or lightning, chosen when the ghost
council swarm attacks). A creature can only be targeted by one of the
ghost council swarm’s Withering Touch attacks each round.
Unrefined Evocation. Ranged Spell Attack: +11 to hit, range 75 ft.,
up to 12 targets (no more than 3 rays per target). Hit: 14 (4d6) fire
damage.
Etherealness. The ghost council swarm enters the Ethereal Plane from
the Material Plane, or vice versa. It is visible on the Material Plane
while it is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet it can’t affect or
be affected by anything on the other plane.

Dancing Lantern Blaster (1/Turn). Beside Lya floats a strange
carbine built around a glass lantern (AC 21, 50 hit points). Once per
round on her turn, she can choose a target within 100 feet to fire it at
(spell attack +11; 4d6 damage). Each time she fires it, Lya chooses
one of the following types of damage for it to deal: acid, cold, fire,
force, lightning, necrotic, or thunder.
Dueling. On her turn, if Lya hit a creature with a melee weapon attack
she gains a second reaction to use before the start of her next turn. In
addition, if Lya hit two or more creatures with melee weapon attacks
after her last turn ended, she can use a bonus action to Dodge.
Ethereal Sight. Lya can see 60 feet into the Ethereal Plane when she
is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.
Improved Critical. Lya’s weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of
19 or 20.
Incorporeal Movement. Lya can move through other creatures and
objects as if they were difficult terrain. She takes 5 (1d10) force
damage if she ends her turn inside an object.
Precise Strike (1/Turn). Lya deals 7 (2d6) extra damage with a melee
weapon attack.
Reality Wound (Recharge 5–6). Lya’s attack seems to leave a gash in
the world itself. When she makes an attack, whether or not she hits,
Lya can create tongues of flame that take up a 5-foot square of her
target’s space. This apparent rip in space remains until the end of the
encounter, and any creature that enters this area or ends its turn in
the area takes 17 (5d6) fire damage.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Lya attacks six times with her razorburst rapier, four
times with her withering touch, or three times with her razorburst
rapier and twice with her withering touch.
Withering Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 23 (4d8+5) necrotic damage.
22 |  EN5ider Presents: Avatar of Revolution, Part Three
Razorburst Rapier. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 11 (1d8+7) magical piercing damage and if the target has
fewer than 5 hit points remaining, the weapon shrieks as mechanism
of bladed teeth unfold from the hilt to saw back and forth. The target
makes a Constitution saving throw (DC equal to the attack’s dam-
age). On a success, the target loses an extremity of its choice—hand,
foot, arm, or leg. On a failure, the attacker chooses which extremity
the target loses. Creatures without extremities are unaffected. A
severed arm or hand prevents use of anything that the creature was
holding or carrying. A severed foot slows the target’s speed by 10
feet. A severed leg renders the target prone.
Etherealness. Lya enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane,
or vice versa. She is visible on the Material Plane while she is in the
Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet she can’t affect or be affected by
anything on the other plane.
Telekinetic (Recharge 6). Lya innately casts telekinesis (spell save
DC 19, spell attack +11).
REACTIONS
Combat Parry. Lya adds 5 to her AC against one melee attack that
would hit her. To do so, Lya must see the attacker and be wielding
a melee weapon. If the attack misses, the attacker provokes an
opportunity attack from Lya.
Infernal Wrath of the Jierre Bloodline (1/Day). When Lya is hit by an
attack, she can use her reaction to deal 17 (5d6) fire damage to the
creature that attacked her. The creature must make a DC 19 Dexter-
ity saving throw or catch on fire, taking 17 (5d6) fire damage at the
end of each of its turns until the flames are extinguished.

All-Around Vision. Han has advantage on Wisdom (Perception)

Expert. Han is proficient with all skills and tool kits (proficiency bonus
+6).
Infernal Legacy. Han knows the thaumaturgy cantrip. In addition, he
can cast hellish rebuke (as a 2nd-level spell; DC 20) and darkness
once each between long rests. He uses Charisma as his spellcasting
ability for these spells.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Han fails a saving throw, he can
choose to succeed instead.

Ring of Freedom of Movement. Han’s movement is unaffected by dif-
ficult terrain, and spells and other magical effects can neither reduce
his speed nor cause him to be paralyzed or restrained. He can also
spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical
restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has him grappled.
Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on Han’s movement
or attacks.
Slippery Mind. When Han is charmed or frightened by a spell or effect,
at the start of his next turn he can repeat the saving throw with
advantage, ending the effect on himself on a success.
ACTIONS
Gestalt Commander. Han psionically calls upon the combined force of
his airship crew to make 6 rifle attacks against targets of his choice,
allowing his soldiers to use his proficiency bonus and Charisma modi-
fier for ranged weapon attack rolls, and to calculate their ranges from
his space. This is only the most obvious use of his psychic connection
to the navy and any others are at the GM’s discretion.
Rifle. Ranged Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, range 80/240 ft., one target.
Hit: 17 (2d10+6) piercing damage.
REACTIONS
Infernal Wrath of the Scion of the Jierre Bloodline. When Han is
hit by a spell or weapon attack, he can choose to deal 17 (5d6) fire
damage to the attacking creature. In addition, the creature makes a
DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or catches on fire, taking an additional
17 (5d6) fire damage at the start of its turn each round until it spends
an action to extinguish the flames.

Chaos of Combat. Any creature that is adjacent to or in the swarm’s
space has a hard time focusing on magic. A creature casting a spell
or concentrating on a spell makes a Constitution saving throw
(DC 15 + spell level) or loses the spell.
Magic Weapons. The swarm’s weapon attacks are magical.
Surge. On its turn, the swarm can conjure upsurging waves that hurl it
through the air, giving it a fly speed of 40 feet until the end of its turn.
Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice
versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough
for a Medium creature. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain
temporary hit points.
ACTIONS
Bladed Flurry. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 35 (6d8+8) slashing damage, or 21 (3d8+8) slashing
damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.
Fusillade. The swarm fires a fusillade of bullets in four 200-foot lines
that are 5-feet wide. Each creature in the line must make aDC 17
Dexteritysaving throw. A creature takes 48 (8d10+4) piercing dam-
age on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Dirigible Turrets (1/Round). If an elite crew is adjacent to one of
the Revolution’s eight turrets, the troop can fire it at a square within
1,000 feet. All creatures in a 5-foot-radius of the point of impact take
42 (12d6) bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage (a DC 17
Dexterity saving throw halves this damage).
  If the shot is aimed at a space that contains an opposing vessel,
in addition to attacking any creatures in the area, make a shipboard
weapon attack, d20+9 vs. the ship’s AC.
Incendiary Bombs (1/Round). If an elite crew is on the gundeck of
the Revolution, it can pull a lever to release a burning barrel of tar.
The attack targets a space directly below the vessel. If another ship
is there, make a naval attack, d20+9 vs. the ship’s AC. Otherwise, all
creatures in a 15-foot radius around the point of impact take 21 (6d6)
fire damage (a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw halves this damage).
Creatures who fail the save catch on fire, taking 1d6 fire damage each
round until the flames are extinguished using an action. The area of
the burst also continues to burn for the next 3 rounds. Creatures that
enter or end their turn in the area take 7 (2d6) fire damage.

Alchemical Spellcasting. Wolfgang is an 11th-level spellcaster. His
spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 17). All of his spells
require a special material component—an extract that the target of
the spell drinks. Wolfgang has the following spells prepared:
1st level (4 slots): cure wounds, detect magic, expeditious retreat
2nd level (3 slots): aid, alter self, blur, invisibility, see invisibility
3rd level (3 slots): darkvision, displacement, fly, heroism, protection

4th level (3 slots): greater invisibility
5th level (2 slots): death ward, sending
6th level (1 slot): heal
Elixir of Life. The first time Wolfgang dies he is immediately targeted
by a resurrection spell.
Evasion. When Wolfgang is subjected to an effect that allows him to
make a Dexterity saving throw for half damage, he takes no damage if
he succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if he fails.
It’s Alive! When Wolfgang heals a creature, the effect manifests as
jolts of lightning flying forth from his hands. This is just a cosmetic
change to fit his schtick of being, basically, Dr. Frankenstein.
Magic Resistance. Wolfgang has advantage on saving throws made
against spells and other magical effects.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Wolfgang attacks four times with his rapier, throws two
bombs, or attacks twice with his rapier and throws one bomb.
+2 Rapier. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 10 (1d8+6) magical piercing damage.
Bomb (20). Wolfgang throws a bomb at a space within 30 feet and it
detonates in a 5-foot radius on impact. He can choose up to 6 crea-
tures to be immune to the effects of a bomb whenever he throws it.
* Acid: Creatures in the area make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or
take 32 (8d6+4) acid damage; half as much on a successful save.
* Dispelling: Creatures in the area make a DC 17 Charisma saving
throw or are targeted by dispel magic.

centered on the space. The sphere spreads around corners, and
its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for 1 minute or until a wind of
moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.

Dead God. When a creature damages the Avatar of Srasama, at the
end of each of its turns its Constitution score is reduced by 1. The
creature dies if this reduces its Constitution to 0. Otherwise, the
reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest, or the
avatar is destroyed or Srasama chooses to end the battle. For each
point of Constitution reduced the avatar gains 5 temporary hit points.
These temporary hit points are cumulative.
Evasion. If the avatar is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a
Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the avatar instead
takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half
damage if it fails.
Final Scorn. When Srasma is slain, she chooses one foe that has most
earned her ire. The three aspects teleport adjacent to that creature
and merge into one. Srasma takes the Attack action against that foe,
then collapses and dies. All creatures within 500 feet must make a
DC 26 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned for 1 round. Creatures
with less than 50 hit points fall unconscious instead.
Appendix: Combat Catalogue
Focused Animosity. Srasama attacks can only affect the creature
that grabbed the necklace from Dala, and they simply pass through
other creatures harmlessly. When a creature attacks or intentionally
impedes Srasama, she gains the ability to harm that creature.
Innate Spellcasting. The avatar’s spellcasting ability is Intelligence
(spell save DC 26, +18 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast
the following spells, requiring no material components:
Constant: freedom of movement, mind blank, tongues, true seeing
At will: alter self, detect magic, dispel magic, greater invisibility,
scrying, teleport, wall of thorns
3/day each: banishment, blight, dispel magic (as a 6th-level spell),
heal
1/day each: dispel magic (as a 9th-level spell), power word kill
Magic Resistance. The avatar has advantage on saving throws made
against spells and other magical effects.
Power Attack. When the avatar makes its first melee weapon attack
in a turn, it can choose to take a –5 penalty to its melee weapon
attack rolls in exchange for a +10 bonus to melee weapon damage.
In addition, the avatar can use a bonus action to make one melee
weapon attack after it uses a melee weapon to reduce a creature to 0
hit points or scores a critical hit with it. The avatar can only use this
feature on its turn.
Regeneration. The avatar regains 20 hit points at the start of its turn if
it has at least 1 hit point.
Tripartite Aspect. When initiative checks are rolled Srasama divides
into three bodies. Each body can move and take a bonus action every
turn, and each can make opportunity attacks. Only one body can
take an action, but when taking the Attack action the avatar can use
Multiattack to attack from any of its bodies. They share hit points, but
conditions only affect the specific body struck.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The avatar attacks seven times.
Flaming Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 20 ft., one
target. Hit: 21 (2d12+10) magical slashing damage plus 9 (2d8) fire
damage.
Guttering Desperation. Srasma commands enemies in a 50-foot
radius of her to grovel for their lives. Each creature in the area makes
a DC 26 Constitution saving throw or are lit on fire, taking 52 (15d6)
fire damage at the end of each of its turns. At the start of each of its
turns, a creature on fire that is prone can repeat the saving throw,
ending the effect on itself on a success.

Constructed. Gradiax’s constructed nature gives him advantage
on saving throws against mind-affecting effects, poison, and the
stunned condition.
Fire Aura. At the start of each of Gradiax’s turns, each creature within
5 feet of him takes 10 (3d6) fire damage, and flammable objects
in the aura that aren’t being worn or carried ignite. A creature that
touches Gradiax or hits him with a melee attack while within 5 feet of
him takes 10 (3d6) fire damage.
Innate Spellcasting. Gradiax’s innate spellcasting ability is Intel-
ligence (spell save DC 19). He can innately cast the following spells,
requiring no material components.
At will: detect magic, find the path, suggestion, wall of fire
Integrated Rockets (1/Minute). Instead of moving on his turn,
Gradiax activates hidden rocket boosters in vents along his back
and wings, accelerating him to the speed of a bullet. He flies up to
1 mile in a mostly straight line. If he ends his movement adjacent to
a creature or object, any attack he hits that creature with this turn
also causes the target to fall prone. This ability even works on the
colossus Borne or a dirigible.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Gradiax fails a saving throw, he
can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. Gradiax has advantage on saving throws made
against spells and other magical effects.
Metal Shell. Gradiax has a hard metallic exoskeleton that protects
him from harm but when badly damaged he cracks open to reveal his
sensitive inner machinery. When reduced to half his hit points or less,
Gradiax loses his damage resistances to weapon damage and takes a
–2 penalty to both his AC and saving throws.
Spellcasting. Gradiax is a 16th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting
ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 19, +11 to hit with spell attacks).
He has the following spells prepared:
Cantrips (at will): mage hand, mending, message, prestidigitation
1st level (4 slots): alarm, grease, magic missile, shield
2nd level (3 slots): alter self, detect thoughts, see invisibility

ACTIONS
Multiattack. Gradiax can use his Frightful Presence. He then makes
three attacks: one with his bite and two with his claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 21
(2d10+10) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17
(2d6+10) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 19
(2d8+10) bludgeoning damage.
Frightful Presence. Each creature of Gradiax’s choice that is within
120 feet of him and aware of him must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom
saving throw or becomefrightenedfor 1 minute. A creature can
repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the
effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful
or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Gradiax’s Frightful
Presence for the next 24 hours.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). Gradiax exhales fire in a 60-foot cone.
Each creature in that area must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving
throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
Manipulate Flames. Gradiax takes control of any fire spell within
100 feet. This trait allows him to move any fire effect in the area, as
if he were the caster, including repositioning a stationary fire effect
(although the new placement must be one allowed by the spell).
Finally, for 1 round following the use of this trait, Gradiax can control
any new fire spell cast within 100 feet, as if he were the caster. He
can make all decisions allowed to the caster, including canceling the
spell if he so desires.
Melt Stone. Gradiax can use his breath weapon to melt rock at a range
of 100 feet, affecting a 50-foot-radius area. The area becomes lava
to a depth of 1 foot. Any creature in contact with the lava takes 70
(20d6) fire damage immediately and 35 (10d6) fire damage at the
end of its next turn, and none thereafter as the lava hardens and
cools. If used on a wall or ceiling this trait creates a collapsing roof
that deals fire damage.
Smoke Vision. Gradiax can see perfectly in smoky conditions.
LEGENDARY ACTIONS
Gradiax can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options
below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only
at the end of another creature’s turn. Gradiax regains spent legendary
actions at the start of his turn.
Detect. Gradiax makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
Tail Attack. Gradiax makes a tail attack.
Wing Attack (Costs 2 Actions). Gradiax beats his wings. Each crea-
ture within 15 feet of him must succeed on a DC 24 Dexterity saving
throw or take 17 (2d6+10) bludgeoning damage and be knocked
prone. Gradiax can then fly up to half his flying speed.

The Ritual of the Axis Seal
T
he ritual details you retrieved from the
Grand Librarium of Alais Primos, combined with
Pemberton and your own observations of the drained
lakebed on Axis Island let you know the following with
confidence. Uncertainties remain, however.
Physical Space.
The ritual actually involves the entirety of Axis Island, but it is
centered on the Axis Seal, a 100-foot diameter disk of gold that
covers a 20-foot diameter, 10-foot deep hemispherical depression
in the bedrock. Out of this depression flare intense blasts of energy
from across the multiverse. If the seal were properly seated atop
this depression, it would focus that energy and create the sun.
The seal lies in the middle of a 400-foot diameter field of flat-
tened stone, around which carvings of primitive orc runes form
seven rings, each 25 feet farther out. Spaced somewhat irregularly
around these rings are vertical pits. The golden seal itself would
only cover the central depression and the innermost ring, but when
it is in place the other pits are inaccessible.
The rings represent, in order outward:
• The Plane of Fire (red).
• The Plane of Air (orange).
• The world itself, which has no pit, but is surrounded by a
smaller ring that does have a pit, representing the plane of
life (green).
• The Plane of Water (dark blue).
• The Plane of Earth (gold).
• The Plane of Space (gray), which is surrounded by a smaller
ring that has its own pit, representing the plane of time
(light blue).
• The Plane of Death (purple).
Each pit is about 15 feet in diameter and contains the 50-foot long
white stone shaft of a petrified tree. Halfway down that shaft, a
small alcove can hold an icon, which represents a particular plane.
The Ancients used gold icons marked with symbols representing a
constellation, which set those worlds’ place in the night sky. Any
handheld item can be used as an icon, but crafting one requires
either close knowledge of the plane, or prolonged study of it.
You may have already discovered some icons, and somehow you
know about other worlds that exist in the Gyre, though you’re sure
you never went there. You’re equally sure that very soon you’ll gain
access to planar icons for some of those worlds. See the end of this
document for details of the worlds that may be available to you.
Energetic Tendrils.
Arcs of energy from the central depression mostly crackle upward,
but every minute or two one will slice out laterally to a distance of
several hundred feet. The force is enough to blast back and likely
kill anyone who tries to come too close. Sometimes where one of
these arcs strikes, a sliver of a world appears — a forest, a crackling

Player Handouts
lava field, a waterfall —only to vanish a few seconds later. Some-
times even creatures are visible in these slivers. The tendrils are
slow enough to avoid if you keep your distance.
Obscurati Interference.
The Ob built a small bunker to the northwest of the seal, which
was damaged by saboteurs loyal to the Voice of Rot. Ritual mages
chanting from within that bunker shielded the colossus Borne, but
when they died, the colossus was struck by a tendril and crippled.
When Borne was damaged, he collapsed, and the 100-foot disk
of the seal fell atop him. The colossus suffered immense damage
across his body, which cracked his torso and blew apart half an arm
and one-and-a-half legs. The ritual was left incomplete.
Manipulating the Ritual Pieces.
Crisillyiri scholars posited that the Ancients used mass ritual tele-
kinesis to lift the sunken columns that control the planar links.
You’ll have to find another way to lift them.
Crane Mechanics.
If your airship is equipped with a crane, decide where to mount
it, but it’s probably best on the rear. It is treated as a ship compo-
nent, and can be damaged if dealt one ‘strike’ in naval combat, or
destroyed if dealt two. In person-scale combat, it has 200 hit points
and AC 20. Repairing it mid-combat if it’s damaged would take at
least a minute, 10 crew, and a DC 18 Intelligence check or some
sort of magic. If it is destroyed, repairs require magic.
The cables are the most vulnerable spot, and while the gripping
claw is deployed, 100 damage dealt to the cable will sever it. Re-
placing a cable uses the same rules as repairing the crane itself.
The crane has enough lifting capacity to pull one of the 15-foot
diameter, 50-foot long stone columns in the ritual field out of the
ground. To do so, the ship must be positioned so the crane is within
30 feet of the column, no more than 60 feet above the ground,
and someone must spend their movement for the turn and make
a DC 12 Dexterity check to operate the crane and grab onto the
column. No more than one attempt can be made per round.
Once the column is grabbed, directing the crane to lift it only
requires a bonus action, but it takes 2 rounds for the column to
emerge enough for its planar icon to be replaced. Extracting the
full 50-foot column takes 4 rounds. If the crane releases the col-
umn, it slides back into place over the course of a round.
If the ship moves while hoisting a column, the crane operator
must make a DC 17 Dexterity check or else the crane loses its grip.
If the ship moves out of range, though, the crane automatically
loses its grip. Moving directly upward can pull the column out in
a single round. If a column is pulled entirely out of its hole, reseat-
ing it is a very fine process, nigh impossible in the heat of battle
(DC 25 Dexterity check).

Final Sacrament

T
he party may have learned the Sacrament of

Apotheosis from memory events using the lost arc

of Reida, or been taught it by Ashima-Shimtu or anyone

she told it to. While the full scope of the ritual varies

depending on the nature of the belief being harnessed,

in this fateful hour the sacrament can focus the faith

of millions so that their champions can transcend the

limits of mortal flesh and confront a threat unmatched

by any in the world’s history. Those who would use this

power would be wise to appreciate the immense gift and

responsibility they are being granted.

Performing the Sacrament.

For the ritual to function, its subject or subjects must be adherents
of an ideology that is strongly held by at least hundreds of people.
The more fervent and widespread the belief, the greater the boon
granted to the subjects shall be. If the belief has a name, the bond
to the adherents is stronger, but even those who know it by a differ-
ent name can contribute.
The ritual requires four people to perform, at least one of whom
must be a 15th level or higher spellcaster. The ritual performers
must spread entrails and blood of a lion, an eagle, a whale, and
a dragon in a ring. Two golden urns sit in the center of the ring,
one empty, the other filled with a mixture of the animals’ blood.
The subject or subjects of the ritual stands in the center, and those
performing the ritual use the animal blood to paint the name of
the belief across the subject’s flesh. The subject then must shed
a notable quantity of blood (enough to deal 20 damage) into the
second urn.
The subject or subjects recite the incantation of the ritual: “Be-
fore I was nothing but words. Now I am all that is believed. I am
faith made flesh. I am flesh made a god.”
Once they complete the incantation, their appearance will shift
as the power of the faithful floods into them. They might grow
in size, their eyes might glow, and if they are not strong-willed
enough their entire personality and body might be overwhelmed
by the image the believers have of their ideal.
Effects of the Sacrament.
The recipients of the ritual, hereafter referred to as ‘the vessels,’ all
gain the following special abilities, as well as specific boons they
choose. The number of boons depends on the extent of the faith
empowering them.
Mental Effects.
The vessels each feel a subconscious connection to all the believers
granting them power, hereafter referred to as ‘the masses.’ There’s
no control granted by this link, but each side can sense the desires
of the other. By concentrating, it’s possible for the vessel to speak
to any or all of the believers empowering him.
Weak-willed vessels lose their sense of self as the faith of the
masses transforms their personalities to match what they believe.
This is what happened to Kasvarina’s daughter, who was not pre-
pared to be the focus of so much power. Indeed, trying to turn
people with weak wills into vessels would drive them insane.
Physical Effects.
The vessel is immune to environmental damage that was not cre-
ated by an active spell effect and any attack or effect that deals
30 damage or less. It has resistance to all types of energy dam-
age and is immune to charm effects as well as effects that impede
movement (as if under the effects of a freedom of movement spell).
However, anyone who says the vessel’s real name ignores these re-
sistances and immunities for 1 hour.
The vessel gains blindsight to a range of 20 feet Additionally, it
can manipulate objects within 20 feet as readily as if in its reach
and has a lifting capacity as if it were Large. As a bonus action it
can shift between its normal size and Large, gaining the attendant
space and reach. However, this does not alter any of the vessel’s
ability scores, AC, or damage.

Physical harm that makes it past the vessel’s defenses is shared
with the masses. The damage affects the vessel normally, but simi-
lar injury is also spread among the masses. If an attack deals 40 fire
damage, the vessel would take 10 fire damage, and 10 fire damage
would be spread around believers scattered across the world, caus-
ing one or two to burst into flames and die. The vessel feels all
these deaths.
The death of a vessel has a much greater backlash, though only
if no other vessel also shares in the ritual. If all the vessels of a
ritual die, many among the masses also perish. The specifics of how
widespread this would be are unclear.
Additional Boons.
The number of faithful contributing to the sacrament determines
how many ‘boons’ are gained, which must be divided among the
various vessels. If there’s a dispute, the vessels choose their boons
in order based on highest Charisma. The GM will inform you of
how many boons the party has access to, which depends on how
much renown and support you have around this world and beyond.
At the GM’s discretion, you acquire alternative boons.
• From On High (Requires Tower Above). The vessel’s blind-
sight extends to 200 feet, as does the range it can manipulate
objects. It has the lifting capacity of a Gargantuan creature,
and can become Gargantuan (or Huge or Large), which does
not alter its ability scores or weapon damage. The character
in this form is roughly 50 feet tall. The vessel also gains a fly
speed of 60 feet (perfect), with an altitude limit of 300 feet.
• Innate Spellcasting (At Will). The vessel chooses a spell of
6th level or lower from any class spell list. It can innately
cast that spell at will. You should choose something thematic
and searching for the optimal min-maxed choice is forbid-
den—you’re a god now, not a munchkin.

• Tower Above. The vessel’s blindsight extends to 50 feet, as
does the range it can manipulate objects. It has the lifting ca-
pacity of a Huge creature, and can become Huge (or Large),
which does not alter its ability scores or weapon damage.
• Unstoppable. The vessel gains a +30 foot bonus to speed in
all its modes of movement. All its attacks deal half damage
on a miss.
When the vessel dies, it may make an attack roll at its highest
bonus or cast a harmful spell targeting all those who harmed it in
the past half hour.
• Creator. The vessel can use an action to create any mundane
object up to Huge size anywhere within its reach, or repair
a damage or destroyed object. This can repair major damage
to a ship. If used as an attack, the creation is gradual enough
that it requires an attack roll and does no more than 40
damage.
• Plentitude. The vessel is immune to the blinded and stunned
conditions, perhaps because it has multiple heads or simply
multiple aspects. The vessel can have equipped any number
of handheld items, and is always considered to have two
hands free. This could be because it has many limbs, or sim-
ply shifts reality, or can call items to hand or dismiss them
with a thought. This boon does not grant the vessel extra
actions, but the vessel does gain a +6 bonus to attack rolls for
opportunity attacks.
Duration.
The effect of the ritual lasts for a day, though a vessel can spend an
action to end its connection to the faithful. Otherwise, only killing
all the vessels will end the ritual prematurely. The ritual cannot be
performed again for the same ideal while the first is active, so typi-
cally no more than 5 or so people can act as vessels at once.
