## Stat block

The Baron's enforcer: two brutal axe blows up close, and fire hurled from his fiendish arm at anyone who keeps away.

### Traits

- **Brute.** When Izek hits with a melee weapon, the attack deals one more of the weapon's damage dice. The Battleaxe damage below already counts that die.

### Actions

- **Multiattack.** Izek makes two Battleaxe attacks. He can use Hurl Flame in place of one of them.
- **Battleaxe.** Melee attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) Slashing damage, or 15 (2d10 + 4) Slashing damage when he swings it with both hands.
- **Hurl Flame.** Ranged attack: +5 to hit, range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (3d6) Fire damage. A flammable object that nobody is wearing or carrying bursts into flame.
