Skyhold Keep - Cold War in the Horizon

A
AbraKadabra

In a time of war there are three separate factions: The tribal society to the Southeast, The Kingdom in the Southwest, and the rebublic to the north. In the middle of these three factions lies the strong independent city-state of Skyhold. The three major factions have histories of economic, political, covert, and even military rivalries and wars, Whenever conflict boils over between any and all factions, Skyhold is often the location that mediates these tense talks.


Author's Note: The three factions have historically been under conflicts for a long time. When conflicts arise between the factions, Skyhold as traditionally been a mediator. With impressive walls and mountains defending them, a bustling economy that trades with all three factions, and in a strategically sound location every faction would gladly take Skyhold for their own if given the chance. Skyhold knows this, and plays a delicate balancing act with all three to ensure their independence.

Enslave

The aboleth targets one creature it can see within 30 ft. of it. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed by the aboleth until the aboleth dies or until it is on a different plane of existence from the target. The charmed target is under the aboleth's control and can't take reactions, and the aboleth and the target can communicate telepathically with each other over any distance. Whenever the charmed target takes damage, the target can repeat the saving throw. On a success, the effect ends. No more than once every 24 hours, the target can also repeat the saving throw when it is at least 1 mile away from the aboleth.

Multiattack

The aboleth makes three tentacle attacks.

Tail

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft. one target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Tentacle

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or become diseased. The disease has no effect for 1 minute and can be removed by any magic that cures disease. After 1 minute, the diseased creature's skin becomes translucent and slimy, the creature can't regain hit points unless it is underwater, and the disease can be removed only by heal or another disease-curing spell of 6th level or higher. When the creature is outside a body of water, it takes 6 (1d12) acid damage every 10 minutes unless moisture is applied to the skin before 10 minutes have passed.
