"Echoes of Grimdark" begins in Lightward Bastion, a city built in defiance of the long-banished Demon Lord Grimdark. Heroes from all walks of life gather at the Lightward Guild, seeking glory, treasure, or revenge. Their journey starts in the upper floors of the Grimdark Vault—a vast, ever-shifting dungeon of monsters, traps, and ancient echoes of evil. This is the tale of their beginnings, their bonds, and the light they carry into the dark.

Roar
The sphinx emits a magical roar. Each time it roars before finishing a long rest, the roar is louder and the effect is different, as detailed below. Each creature within 500 feet of the sphinx and able to hear the roar must make a saving throw. First Roar. Each creature that fails a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw is frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Second Roar. Each creature that fails a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw is deafened and frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature is paralyzed and can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Third Roar. Each creature makes a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 44 (8d10) thunder damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.
