Ironbound Warbrute

Adversary overview

A corrupted half-giant infused with shadow and iron. Two large, black iron chains are fused to its forearm, both ending in a single, large, wroght iron spike that it throws at targets.

A corrupted half-giant infused with shadow and iron. A towering figure, skin etched with molten scars, chunks of iron grafted into his body. His eyes glow with necrotic embers and his voice is a guttural echo of war chants from an age long past.

Actions

Chain Lash
fear 1

The Warbrute may choose a target within Far Range and make an Attack Roll to spear it with its chain. On a success, the target takes 2d10+2 physical damage and is Restrained while the chain is lodged in them. On its next Spotlight, if the chain is still lodged in the target, you may spend a Fear to cause the target to be pulled to within Very Close Range and the Warbrute immediately makes a standard attack using its Bloodforged Fist.
Around the World
stress 1

The Warbrute marks a Stress and then whips its chains around its head before making an Attack Roll against all creatures within Very Close Range. The attack deals 1d10+2 physical damage.
Warcry of the Ironbound
stress 1

The Warbrute marks a Stress and lets out a bellow strong enough to rattle stone. Each enemy within Close Range must make a Strength Reaction Roll. On a failure, that enemy marks two Stress. Gain a Fear for each creature that marks Stress in this way.
