Shatterpoint (Secret: DC) (+0): Attacks against this have +2 to crit, and critical hits Daze (1 round). Arms (2) (+2): Required to use items, grapple, and perform actions. Has disadvantage to grapple for 1 round if hit, or forces immediate grapple check against attack roll to maintain it if one is active. Legs (2) (+2): If an attack/ability deals any effect besides damage to at least one leg, it also inflicts Cripple (10, 1 round).
Traits
Last Gasp: When killed, may take one last major action.
Actions
Fist: Major action - Melee psionic attack, 10 ft. range, single-target, targets Fortitude, 2 damage. Cairn: Special - When the Alkali uses Help, its range is increased to 50 feet. Psionic Deluge: Reaction - Psionic ability, the Alkali forces a missed psionic attack to deal half damage.
Tactics
Straightforward melee attacker, though Cairn allows it to support its allies from a distance. So can the Greater Hive Drone, but the GHD is CR 3, while the Alkali is only CR 1.
Drops
10 EXP, 5 T1 Grist, 10 BG
Description
This underling is a facsimile of a troll, made of hundreds of small, smooth stones glued together by some psionic force. Surprisingly agile, for being literal rocks.
