Traits
Aura of Violence
At the end of each of the gallows speaker's turns, each creature of the gallows speaker's choice in a 15-foot Emanation originating from the gallows speaker suffers the following effect. Wisdom Saving Throw: DC 15. Failure: The target takes a Reaction to make a melee attack roll against a creature within reach. If no creature is within reach, the target takes 7 (2d6) Psychic damage.
Whirling Form
The gallows speaker can enter a creature's space and stop there.
Actions
Multiattack
The gallows speaker makes two Whirling Blades attacks.
Whirling Blades
Melee Ranged Attack: +6, reach 5 ft. or range 60 ft. Hit: 13 (3d6 + 3) Slashing damage plus 7 (3d4) Necrotic damage.
Howling Wind (Recharge 5–6)
Constitution Saving Throw: DC 15, each creature in a 30-foot Cone. Failure: 18 (4d8) Thunder damage, and the target has the Frightened condition for 1 minute. While Frightened in this way, the creature has the Deafened condition, is compelled to shriek along with the gallows speaker, and can't cast spells with a Verbal component. The target repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Success: Half damage only.
