Traits

• Deathly Choir. Anyone within 10 feet of Rahadin who isn't shielded by Mind Blank hears, inside their head, the screams of the many he has killed. As a Bonus Action he can make each creature hearing them attempt a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw; on a failure it takes 16 (3d10) Psychic damage. The engine does this at the start of his turn, to his enemies only.
• Fey Ancestry. Rahadin has Advantage on saving throws against the Charmed condition, and magic can't put him to sleep.

Where you meet it

• Castle Ravenloft, the Court of the Count: Rahadin draws a curved blade and settles on the top step as if he means to stand there for another four…
• Castle Ravenloft, the Rooms of Weeping: Rahadin rises from his cot as if he has been expecting this, and the screaming rises with him.
