Attack of Opportunity [reaction] Savage [reaction] Trigger A creature grabbed by the wyvern critically fails a skill check to Escape. Effect The wyvern makes a stinger Strike against the triggering creature.
Speed 30 feet, fly 100 feet
Melee [one-action] fangs +35 [+30/+25] (reach 10 feet), Damage 3d12+17 piercing plus 1d6 persistent bleedMelee [one-action] barbed tongue +35 [+30/+25] (reach 30 feet), Damage 3d6+17 plus Ripping GrabMelee [one-action] stinger +35 [+31/+27] (agile, reach 20 feet), Damage 3d10+17 piercing plus barbtongued wyvern venomBarbtongued Wyvern Venom (poison) Saving Throw Fortitude DC 40; Maximum Duration 6 rounds; Stage 1 5d12 poison damage and clumsy 1 (1 round); Stage 2 6d12 poison damage and clumsy 2 (1 round); Stage 3 7d12 poison damage and clumsy 3 (1 round)Pin to the Sky [one-action] With incredible force, the barbtongued wyvern whips its tongue and flings barbs from its length. Up to two creatures within 200 feet of the wyvern can be targeted; each creature must attempt a DC 40 Reflex save. The barbtongued wyvern can't use Pin to the Sky again until its next turn.
Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target takes 2d12+3 piercing damage.
Failure The target takes 5d12 piercing damage and is pinned in place, fastened to the underlying magical nature of Thousandbreaths by the barbs (even if not adjacent to a solid surface). It is immobilized until it Escapes. If the creature is under the effects of a spell that would prevent it from being immobilized, Thousandbreaths first attempts a Counteract check against the spell (+27).
Critical Failure As failure, but the target takes 10d12 piercing damage and is slowed 1 until it escapes.Reel In [free-action] Requirements The wyvern has a creature grabbed in its tongue. Effect The wyvern moves the creature up to 20 feet closer to it.Ripping Grab [one-action] Requirements The wyvern's last action was a success with a barbed tongue Strike, or it has a creature grabbed using this action. Effect If the target was immobilized by Pin to the Sky, the wyvern first painfully rips it free of the effect, dealing 4d12 piercing damage. Regardless of whether or not the target was previously immobilized, the wyvern Grabs the target until the end of the monster's next turn. The wyvern can't use its tongue to Strike creatures until the Grab ends. Using Ripping Grab extends the duration of the monster's Grab until the end of its next turn for all creatures grabbed by it. A grabbed creature can use the Escape action to get out of the grab, and the Grab ends for a grabbed creature if the barbtongued wyvern moves away from it.
