Lair Actions

The Oven's Wrath: A wave of intense heat erupts from the ground. Up to two creatures she can see must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save.

The Shaken Tree: A torrential rain of heavy apples falls in a 20-foot-radius cylinder. The area becomes difficult terrain, and creatures in it must succeed on a DC 21 Strength saving throw or be knocked Prone.

Feather Snowstorm: A blizzard of magical feathers heavily obscures a 30-foot-radius sphere within her lair. Frau Holle and her allies can see through this obscurement perfectly. The blizzard lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.

Lore

Mother Holle – the Winter Goddess.

Frau Holle (Frau Holle) — The goddess of winter.

Once upon a time there lived a widow who had two girls: her own daughter and a step-daughter. The step-daughter was lovely and hardworking, while the widow’s own child was plain and terribly lazy. Of course, the widow doted on her own daughter and made the step-daughter do all the drudgery around the house. Every single day the poor girl had to sit by the well at the roadside and spin yarn until the blood ran from her fingers.
