Actions
Multiattack. Athux attacks twice with his
greatsword.
Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit,
reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6+5) slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) acid
damage.
Dreadful Aspect (Recharges after a
Short or Long Rest). As
an action, Athux channels his darkest emotions and focuses them into a burst of
magical dread and menace. Each creature of Athux’s choice within 30 feet of
Athux must make a DC 19 Wisdom save if it can see him. On a failed save, the
creature is frightened of Athux for 1 minute. If a creature frightened by this
effect ends its turn more than 30 feet away from Athux, it may attempt another
Wisdom saving throw to end the effect on it.
Reactions
Parry. Athux adds 5 to his AC against one
melee attack that would hit. To do so, Athux must be able to see the attacker
and be wielding a melee weapon.
Athux is the
son of Graz’zt and the drow priestess, Eclavdra, though he is unaware of the
identity of his mother. Athux commands Graz’zt’s armies, a subtle insult
suggesting that the demon lord doesn’t believe his son has the head for the
scheming politics of the Abyss. Athux, very much aware of the insult, plots and
schemes to overthrow his father, something that fills the demon lord’s dark
heart with pride.
Athux is the
spitting image of his father, with obsidian skin and six fingers of each hand.
Athux aggressively wades into battle, slaying his foes with a wavy-bladed
greatsword very similar in appearance to Graz’zt’s own sword, Wave of Sorrow.
