Eberron - Rising from the Last War

Warforged Colossus

In the final days of the Last War, House Cannith un­

leashed its mightiest creations: the warforged colossi.

These enormous mechanical warriors thundered across

Cyre, crushing everything in their paths and leaving

ruin behind them. Meant to end the war decisively, the

colossi pulverized hundreds of �oldiers beneath their

feet and incinerated whole legions with beams of fiery

light that shot from their mouths. This rampage was cut

short on the Day of Mourning. The arcane cataclysm

that engulfed Cyre destroyed most of the warforged co­

lossi, causing them to collapse into lifeless heaps.

Colossal Survivors. Some warforged colossi survived

the Day of Mourning more or less intact and are thought

to only be in stasis, waiting to be awakened. Cannith

artificers are eager to track them down and determine

whether they can be awakened or, at the very least,

salvaged for docents and other magic items. Here are

locations where operational warforged colossi are ru­

mored to dwell:

• "Arkus" (Colossus WX-11) lies prone at the bottom of
  the Glowing Chasm in the northern part of the Mourn­
  land, with one of its arms torn off.


• "Artorok" (Colossus WX-73) sits at the bottom of Lake
  Cyre amid the scaffolding of a sunken House Cannith
  workshop, flooded but otherwise intact.

Immutable Form. The colossus is immune to any spell or effect
that would alter its form.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the colossus fails a saving
throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The colossus has advantage on saving
throws against spells and other magical effects.
Siege Monster. The colossus deals double damage to objects
and structures.
Towering Terror. Any enemy outside the colossus that starts its
turn within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 26 Wisdom sav·
ing throw or be frightened until the start of the enemy's next
turn. If the enemy's saving throw is successful, it is immune to
this colossus's Towering Terror for the next 24 hours.

CHAPTER 6 I FRIENDS AND FOES

"Hanamar" (Colossus WX-42) stands at the bottom of

Kraken Bay, near the coast ofVa!enar, buried up to its

knees in sand and flooded, but it is otherwise intact.

"Karrnslayer" (Colossus WX-31) lost its legs but

crawls through the Mournland, using its arms to

drag its great bulk across the ground. It is always

prone and can't use its Stomp action, but makes three

extra turret attacks when it takes the Multiattack ac­

tion option.

• "Landro" (Colossus WX-33) is partially phased into a
  mountainside on the border of Cyre and Breland, but
  still explorable and potentially salvageable.


• "Norr" (Colossus WX-5) is slumped amid the ruins of
  Metro!, the former capital of Cyre.


• "Tymber" (Colossus WX-12) squats in the Crawling
  Swamp, in the northwest corner of the Shadow
  Marches. How it got there, no one knows.
  Hollow Structure. Although it can operate without a
  crew, a warforged colossus is built to carry wizards, ar­
  tificers, magewrights, and elite troops. For this reason,
  these constructs are largely hollow on the inside, with
  tunnels, ladders, storage areas, and observation decks.
  A colossus might be filled with monsters and secrets,
  in addition to the corpses of those who died inside it.
  In chapter 4, map 4.8 illustrates an inactive warforged
  colossus, and the text that accompanies it explains how
  the colossus might serve as an adventure location.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The colossus makes three attacks-one with its

slam and two with its eldritch turrets-and then uses Stomp.

Slam. Melee We apon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target.

Hit: 29 (3dl2 + 10 ) bludgeoning damage, and the colossus can

push the target up to 20 feet away from it.

Eldritch Turret. Ranged Spell Attack: +18 to hit, range 300 ft.,

one target. Hit: 18 (4d8) force damage, and ifthe target is a

creature, it is knocked prone.

Stomp. The colossus stomps one of its feet at a point on the

ground within 20 feet of it. Any creature in a 20 -foot-radius,

20-foot-high cylinder centered on this point must succeed on

a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw or take 33 (6dl0) bludgeoning

damage and fall prone. Until the colossus uses its Stomp again

or moves, the creature is restrained. While restrained in this

way, the creature (or another creature within 5 feet of it) can

use its action to make a DC 26 Strength check. On a success,

the creature relocates to an unoccupied space of its choice

within 5 feet of the colossus and is no longer restrained.

Structures, as well as nonmagical objects that are neither be­

ing worn nor carried, take the same amount of damage if they

are in the cylinder (no save).

Incinerating Beam (Recharge 5-6). The colossus fires a beam

of light in a 15 0-foot line that is 10 feet wide. Each creature

in the line must make a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw, taking

60 (lldlO) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much

damage on a successful one. A creature reduced to 0 hit points

by this beam is disintegrated, leaving behind anything it was

wearing or carrying.
