Artifact — Skarn's War-Horn
Recovered from Skarn Duskcall. Resref tof4_ska_art.

Combat signature

Every third round his War-Song hastes HIMSELF and frightens the nearest foe in the same breath - the first mechanic here to pair a self-buff and an enemy-debuff in one pulse. On round six, a real epic Hellball.

D&D build

Monstrous levels (natural Hit Dice) + PRC Dragonsong Lyrist 8; boss flags BOSS, CLEAR, LOOPS, TYPE 26, USED 0, and R13_UNIQUE. The Epic Hellball capstone is delivered by the dedicated round hook after the visual telegraph, exactly like every real Epic Spell in this bestiary since round 1.

Caller and encounter

One blueprint only. The Bestiary Caller uses the normal BC_Spawn contract, while the reserved Sparky case maintains a 12% always-on, count-one encounter definition, capped at one live spawn per area.
