Actions

Multiattack. Morsa makes three Attention of Solusek Ro attacks.   Attention of Solusek Ro. Melee or Ranged Spell Attack: 1d20+8 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 25 ( 4d10+4 ) fire damage.   Sculpted Explosion (Recharge 4–6). Morsa unleashes a magical explosion of a particular damage type: cold, fire, lightning, or thunder (she tends to pick fire unless the enemy is obviously resistant or immune to fire). The magic erupts in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point within 150 feet of her. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. Morsa can select up to three creatures she can see in the area to ignore the explosion, as she sculpts the energy around them. On a failed save, a creature takes 40 ( 9d8 ) damage of the chosen type and is knocked prone. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn’t knocked prone.   Spellcasting (Evoker). Morsa casts one of the following spells, using Intelligence as her spellcasting ability (spell save DC 16):

• At will: light, mage hand, message, prestidigitation
• 2/day each: ice storm, lightning bolt, mage armor
• 1/day: wall of ice

• At will: command, create or destroy water
• 3/day each: control water, healing ( 6d10+4 ), darkness, water walk
• 1/day each: root (as Evard’s black tentacles)

Bonus Action

• Yaulp. Morsa gains +1 AC and +3 STR.
• Celestial Remedy. Delayed effect that cures 5d10 hit points each round for 1 minute.
• Spirit Armor. Grants Morsa DR 7/- for 1 minute.

Reactions

Cancel Magic. When an enemy casts a spell Morsa may use counterspell as a reaction.

Legendary Actions

Morsa can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. She may move up to her speed as part of a legendary action. She regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn.

• Bring the Hammer. Morsa uses Attention of Solusek Ro against an adjacent creature (within 5 feet).
• Mana Dump. Morsa casts a spell, including those listed as bonus spells.
• Voice of the Desert (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). Solusek Ro speaks through his prophet with a thunderous voice audible within 300 feet. Creatures of the Morsa’s choice that can hear Solusek Ro’s words (which are spoken in Ignan) must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of Morsa for 1 minute. While frightened the target flees in a random direction away from Morsa, moving its full speed and taking the Dash action. It can take no other actions except to defend itself if attacked. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
