Traits

Many-Handed Vigil. This creature cannot be surprised while conscious.

Actions

Multiattack. The effigy makes three Mourning Palm attacks.

Mourning Palm. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) necrotic damage.

Thousand-Handed Lament (Recharge 5–6). Up to three creatures within 60 feet make a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 27 (6d8) psychic damage and is restrained by spectral hands for up to 1 minute. On a success, it takes half damage and is not restrained. A restrained creature repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. The restraint also ends if the effigy dies.

Bonus actions

Release the Grieving. The effigy ends the restraint on one creature affected by its Lament and regains 15 hit points.

Reactions

Interposing Hands. When hit by an attack it can see, before damage is applied, the effigy adds 3 to its AC against that attack, potentially causing it to miss.
