Detection

PerDC 16
StlDC 16 Wisdom (Perception) to see the spores drifting in the air around the veils.
InitNone

“The veils look like wispy curtains of lace. Tiny violet nodes along the strands pulse with a rhythmic light that matches the frequency of a slow heartbeat.”

Standard Engagement

Trigger

A creature moves within 5 feet of the veils or makes a sound louder than a whisper within 10 feet.

Routine

None

Reset

The fungi regrow their spore nodes over a period of 24 hours.

Eldritch Puff

When triggered, the veil releases a cloud of spores in a 10 foot radius. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 11 (2d10) psychic damage and is poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned this way, the creature is also frightened of the veils. On a success, the creature takes half damage and is not poisoned or frightened.

Mimicry Echo

Any sound made within 30 feet of the veils is repeated 1 round later as a distorted whisper, requiring a DC 12 Wisdom (Insight) check to realize the sound is artificial.

Discovery
