Valindra Shadowmantle

If Valindra fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.

If destroyed, Valindra re-forms in 1d10 days if her spirit gem is intact, reviving with all her Hit Points. The new body appears in an unoccupied space within her lair.

Valindra casts one of the following spells, using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 20):

2/day each: Animate Dead, Plane Shift

1/day each: Cone of Cold (level 8 version), Finger of Death, Power Word Kill, Scrying

Valindra casts Disguise Self, using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting. The spell lasts until Valindra drops to 30 Hit Points or fewer or uses her Life-Rending Gaze Legendary Action. Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to discern her true appearance are made with Disadvantage.
