Butcher Dray, Three-Headed Ettin

+7

Dray's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 21,+13 to hit with spell attacks). Dray can innately cast any cleric cantrip as a 20th-level spellcaser, as well as the following spells, requiring no material components:

• At will: bestow curse, blindness/deafness (as a 4th-level spell)
• 3/day each: harm, heal
• 1/day each: divine word, resurrection

When Dray scores a critical hit with a weapon attack or reduces a creature to 0 hit point, his spell save DC increases to 23 and he has advantage on all attack rolls until end of turn.

If Dray fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

3/DAY

Dray has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Dray's weapon attacks are magical.

Dray has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and on Constitution saving throws made to maintain concentration on spells.

When damage Dray deals reduces a creature to 0 hit points, it automatically suffers one death throw saving failure.

When one of Dray's heads is asleep, his other heads are awake. In addition, magic can't put him to sleep.

Dray makes two attacks: one with his fist and one with his dagger.

Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 28 (6d6+7) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed on DC 22 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (6d4+7) piercing damage plus 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Dray regains hit points equal to half that amount. The reduction lasts for 1 hour. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

Dray can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Dray regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Dray casts a cantrip

Dray moves up to half his speed.

Dray makes one fist attack.

Dray magically summons 2d4 orcs or 1 ogre. A summoned creature appears. in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of Dray and acts as his ally. It remains for 1 minute, until it or Dray dies, or until Dray dismisses it as an action.

High in the frigid mountains, the Butcher patiently gathers forces and influence through his vast network of followers and grisly magic. Here, the sheer number of sacrifices has bound Dray's frigid heart to the land, allowing him unparalleled control over the elements and increasing his magical might.

When fighting on the Sacrificial Peak, on initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Dray takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:

• Dray magically causes an avalanche to engulf the area within a 120-foot square he can see. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 14 (4d6) bludgeoning damage and 14 (4d6) cold damage and is knocked prone and restrained. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage, and isn't knocked prone or restrained.

• Dray casts the circle of death spell (save DC 15). Dray regains hit points equal to half the total damage dealt by the spell.

• Dray magically summons 1 ettin to aid him in battle.

The ettin appears in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of Dray and acts as his ally. If Dray uses this lair action again, the previous ettin disappears.
