LAIR ASSAULT NOTES
- This is a Lair Assault for Level 6 Characters.
- Any Character with Fey Origin gains +1 to Attack Rolls
- Hyacinth is the Dryad Druid you have to protect, and she will be stunned (grants CA), immobilised, immune to forced movement (including friendly slide effects etc) in one square adjacent to the obelisk throughout your protective stint.
- Hyacinth has 75 HP and 1 Healing Surge of 19 HP.
- The Obelisk is 10' x 10' at the base and 10' tall. (effectively a 2x2x2 cube in game terms) It is in the middle of the map.
- Hyacinth also provides the party up to 100 resource points (see below) to deploy following items for the expedition. You can pick any items as long as the total does not exceed 100 Resource Points.
- There are 2 Ramparts of 50' high in 2 corners of the map. You can place Resources on the Ramparts.
- Athletics Checks get harder during the first few rounds of the encounter due to the primal magic Hyacinth is channelling.
- Dinosaurs do not count as "Natural" Enemies in this Lair Assault
