Blue Dragons Pt. 3

These are the first of the mighty blue dragons of legends. They subjugate tribes, control deserts, and dominate trade.

Scha-rei, Adult Blue Dragon, CR 14

Scha-rei is a mobile dragon in search of a suitable lair, having outgrown her last. She has traded most of her horde for gems and other precious materials which allows her to transport them easily in a single pack. Scha-rei flies across the desert looking for a lost pyramid, abandoned mausoleum or other suitably grand structure to claim as her home.

Scha-rei has spent time energy refining her magic, and is always considered to have mage armor cast. This is reflected in her statistics. During combat, her preference is to keep at a distance using web and her breath weapon as often as possible, circling her foes and raining destruction down. She will add in magic missiles and resist energy as needed, falling back to her wand if it comes down to it.

Breath Weapon SU: as a standard action, once per 1d4 rounds, Scha-rei can breathe a line of lightning 100ft long dealing 12d8 Electric damage reflex save DC 25

Create/Destroy Water SP: Scha-rei can use this ability three times per day. It works like the create water spell, except that she can decide to destroy water instead of creating it, which automatically spoils unattended liquids containing water. Magic items (such as potions) and items in a creature’s possession must succeed on a Will save (DC 23) or be ruined. This ability is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell.

Sound Imitation EX: Scha-rei can mimic any voice or sound she has heard, anytime she likes. Listeners must succeed on a Will save (DC 23) to detect the ruse.

Frightful Presence EX: Scha-rei can unsettle foes with her mere presence. The ability takes effect automatically whenever she attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 180ft are subject to the effect if they have fewer than 21 hit die. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 25) remains immune to Scha-rei‘s frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds.

Spell Like Abilities:

• Ventriloquism 3/Day – CL = 9

Sorcerer Spells – CL = 9

• Level 0 – 6/Day – DC 13
  • Detect Magic, Light, Mage Hand, Arcane Mark, Mending, Open/Close
• Level 1 – 7/Day – DC 14
  • Alarm, Magic Missile, Mage Armor, Identify
• Level 2 – 5/Day – DC 15
  • Resist Energy, Web

Lair

Scha-rei has no lair, and as such, can be encountered at any time during desert travels. She is willing to barter with travelers, but does not take kindly if her good will is refused and often resorts to robbery if the proper awe and respect is not shown.

Horde

Scha-rei’s horde is kept in a small traveling pack that she carries around her neck like a necklace.

• Alexandrite (300 gp)
• Banded Agate (12 gp)
• Blue Star Sapphire (800 gp)

Amennemaphet, Mature Adult Blue Dragon, CR 16

Amennemaphet laid claim to an oasis guarded by a remote tribe of blue scaled Yuan-Ti who herald him as their god returned. Amennemaphet is only too happy to oblige them and rules with ruthless cruelty. The Yuan-Ti bring any travelers discovered to him for sacrifice, and to have their valuables added to the horde.

Alignment:	Lawful Evil

While generally at ease, Amennemaphet is still a dragon and is always prepared. He always has mage armor cast. In the event a fight occurs, Amennemaphet will typically let his 200 or so Yuan-Ti handle the assault. If required, he will step in and fight with his spells or breath weapon from a distance. Amennemaphet is not above fleeing if he feels a fight is turning against him, but will return as soon as it is safe for his horde.

Breath Weapon SU: as a standard action, once per 1d4 rounds, Amennemaphet can breathe a line of lightning 100ft long dealing 14d8 Electric damage reflex save DC 27

Create/Destroy Water SP: Amennemaphet can use this ability three times per day. It works like the create water spell, except that he can decide to destroy water instead of creating it, which automatically spoils unattended liquids containing water. Magic items (such as potions) and items in a creature’s possession must succeed on a Will save (DC 25) or be ruined. This ability is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell.

Sound Imitation EX: Amennemaphet can mimic any voice or sound he has heard, anytime he likes. Listeners must succeed on a Will save (DC 25) to detect the ruse.

Frightful Presence EX: Amennemaphet can unsettle foes with his mere presence. The ability takes effect automatically whenever he attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 210ft are subject to the effect if they have fewer than 24 hit die. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 27) remains immune to Amennemaphet‘s frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds.

Lair

Long ago the Yuan-Ti had erected a mighty temple to their deity, the perfection of Yuan-Ti existence. Amennemaphet moved into the temple and has set himself up as the reincarnation of their deity, even adopting his name. The temple is a large open marble structure with a natural spring surfacing and running to feed the oasis. Strewn about the inside of the temple, after his return, are various silks and pillows creating a very pleasurable lounge. Amennemaphet can be found here, swimming in the river, or smoking his hookah, and enjoying the comforts of his various consorts.

Horde

Amennemaphet’s horde is stashed in a sub-terrain secret room, guarded by feral and crazed albino Yuan-Ti abominations locked within. The entrance is locked with an adamantine lock (DC 35), the key of which Amennemaphet keeps hidden on his body. It is also trapped with an enhanced burning hands trap. Opening the door without the key present within a 10ft radius triggers a gout of flames dealing 10d4 damage, reflex DC 24 for half. Search DC 37, disable device DC 40.

Ankhakaroakmhat, Old Blue Dragon, CR 18

Ankhakaroakmhat has recently moved her lair just outside of the crossroads of three major desert trade routes. She lairs in the side of a mountain, concealed with hallucinatory terrain, and waylays any caravans passing nearby, before flying off with their goods back to her cave. Ankhakaroakmhat has recently become a large problem in the region, but even the best scouts have been unable to track her to her lair.

Alignment:	Lawful Evil

Ankhakaroakmhat is always on the lookout for danger. She always has Mage Armor cast (reflected in stats), but is happy to use her stone of earth elemental command to summon an elemental for a distraction while she makes a quick escape. If forced to fight, she favors a quick fight, and focuses on her breath weapon and melee attacks. Ankhakaroakmhat casts invisibility greater before any ambush, and will cast again as often as needed.

Breath Weapon SU: as a standard action, once per 1d4 rounds, Ankhakaroakmhat can breathe a line of lightning 100ft long dealing 16d8 Electric damage reflex save DC 31

Create/Destroy Water SP: Ankhakaroakmhat can use this ability three times per day. It works like the create water spell, except that she can decide to destroy water instead of creating it, which automatically spoils unattended liquids containing water.

Ankhakaroakmhat’s lair is inside a hollowed out plateau, accessible only through a 20×20 opening 20ft off the ground. Ankhakaroakmhat keeps this opening covered at all times by a hallucinatory terrain spell to mask it, and has been successful in hiding for a 3 years at this point. Note, the duration of her hallucinatory terrain spell is 26 hours, and requires her to recast it each morning.
