A named threat of The Shroud, encountered rarely and never in numbers - real Dungeons & Dragons statistics, no auto-computed shortcuts.
| Level | Known / Prepared |
|---|---|
| 1 | Entangle, Faerie Fire, Cure Light Wounds |
| 2 | Barkskin, Flame Blade |
| 3 | Poison, Contagion |
| 4 | Flame Strike |
| 5 | Crumble |
| 6 | Fire Seeds |
Layered on top of the module's own combat AI, which still picks targets and positioning. The fight below moves through real hit-point-gated phases; every save DC and attack bonus computes from the stat block above at runtime.
Leans on the reliable half of a real Humanoid 1 / Druid 12 spellbook to test the room before committing anything further.
Draws on the sharper end of the list - Flame Strike, Crumble, Fire Seeds - as the fight tightens.
Spends what's left of the prepared list in one committed working rather than holding anything back.
CR 13 is set against The Shroud's own real ambient ceiling, not auto-computed from level alone - a genuine Humanoid 1 / Druid 12 build at 13 total levels.
Hit points (88) follow this project's own average-hit-dice convention, and every save/attack bonus derives from the ability scores above at runtime - nothing here is hardcoded past the phase gates themselves.
Boss-flagged (bypasses the drop-rate roll, two loot-generation passes) and gated to a single spawn - only one Ku'tana is ever up in The Shroud at a time.
