Bound Soul Scribes - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Bound Soul Scribes

The Bound Soul Scribes were once appointed to document a massacre, a fraudulent trial, or a noble family's hidden crimes. Before their account could be delivered, they were murdered and their records burned in a black lantern. Their souls now preserve every name they witnessed, punishing anyone who tries to pass through the lantern's territory unnoticed.

Incorporeal Movement. The scribes can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. If they end their turn inside an object, they take 5 force damage.
Life Drain. The scribes target one creature within 5 feet. The target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 7 () necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The scribes regain hit points equal to the necrotic damage dealt. A humanoid slain by this attack rises as a hostile shadowy minion at the start of the scribes' next turn if the encounter includes suitable undead reinforcement.
Etherealness. The scribes can enter the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. They are visible as a wavering silhouette while on the Ethereal Plane and cannot affect creatures on the Material Plane unless a feature specifically allows it.
Undead Nature. The scribes have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead. They do not need to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep.
Life Drain. The bound soul scribes make one Life Drain attack.
Ink of Interruption. The scribes target one creature they can see within 60 feet. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become marked by a spectral black sigil until the end of the scribes' next turn. While marked, the target cannot take reactions, and the next attack roll made against it before the mark ends has advantage.
Black Lantern Script. The scribes exhale a 15-foot cone of freezing script. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 () necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails also has its speed reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn.
Marginalia of Pain. When a creature the scribes can see within 30 feet takes damage, the scribes impose a veil of crawling script. The creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.
