Stormbound. While outdoors in a storm, the dracolich has advantage on attack rolls and saving throws.

Multiattack. The dracolich makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) lightning damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage.

Story hooks

Where it begins

  1. 1

    Every thunderstorm now cracks with the sound of rattling ribs.

  2. 2

    A ruined tower is lit each night by blue fire in its empty skull.

  3. 3

    Farmers find fields scorched in a spiral pattern after the storms pass.

The one-shot75-90 min

The Storm-Bone Spire

A storm refuses to break over a coastal ruin. The party must reach the spire, destroy three bone-anchor nodes, and confront the dracolich before the next tidal surge.

Stormlocked Coast

The sea churns under a ceiling of black clouds. Lightning crawls across the waves, and the air tastes of iron. In the distance, a broken spire glows with a blue pulse that never fades.

Establish how bad things are. The party must reach the spire before the next tidal surge hits. Drop three clues that the storm is tied to bone anchors inside the tower.
