Chardalyn Dragon (RTFM)

Adversaries Designed by Wine Player • Art by from Rime of the Frostmaiden

Adversary overview

A draconic construct made of cursed metal created to destroy Ten-Towns.

(The HP is chosen with the knowledge in mind that the dragon will take at least 5 damage during its flight path to Bryn Shander from each town fighting back. If you want to use it without the Ten-Towns, reduce its total HP to 10.)

Features

Passives

  • Relentless (2)

    This adversary can be spotlighted up to 2 times per GM turn. Spend Fear as usual to spotlight them.

  • Flight

    While flying, the Dragon gains a +3 to its difficulty.

  • No Hope

    When a PC rolls with Fear while within Far range of the Dragon, they lose a Hope.

  • Rend and Crush

    If a target damaged by the Chardalyn Dragon doesn’t mark an Armor Slot to reduce the damage, they must mark a Stress.

  • Chardalyn Scales

    The Chardalyn Dragon is resistant to physical damage.

  • Malevolent Presence

    Any creature within Close range of the dragon must make an Instinct reaction roll. On a failure, the creature becomes "corrupted" by the Dragon and the reaction roll can be repeated at the end of its Spotlight. A creature becomes immune to this feature for 24 hours once it succeeds the reaction roll. A "corrupted" creature fixates on a creature or object the dragon chooses and must move as close as possible to it and make an attack against it.
