Read aloud

Say this

Svarik shoves another emerald scale into the heaving mass, and it bites down with a dozen wet mouths. Three cultists rush to bar the cistern steps as the thing's many eyes turn toward you. The sluice chain rattles overhead.

What happens

4–6 rounds
  1. 2

    At the end of round 2

    The abomination's gibbering swells. Each creature in the Feed Pen must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be unable to take reactions until the start of its next turn.

  2. 4

    At the end of round 4

    The loose chain snaps taut and the sluice gate drops. Creatures beneath it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take bludgeoning damage and fall prone; the gate blocks the passage afterward.

The battlefield

Zones

  1. 1

    Feed Pen25 ft

    A low stone pen, slick with feed and crowded by the abomination.

  2. 2

    Sluice Walk25 ft

    A narrow platform above the pen; the chain to the sluice gate is within reach.

  3. 3

    Dry Cistern25 ft

    A drained cistern where Svarik has piled the ancient emerald dragon's remains.

What the party can use

Kick the cracked feed trough: spill one round of emerald-charged remains across the floor; the mouther's speed is halved until the next round.
Cut the chain holding the sluice gate: it slams shut, dividing the room and blocking movement through the south passage.
