The oread guards the natural state of its mountain against those who would exploit its resources through mining, quarrying or deforesting it. An individual miner might be warned off and sent on its way, but a large party is likely to meet utter disaster.An oread appears as a stern, handsome woman with stony skin. Its hair appears to be made of strands of stringy lichen, and is white when snow covers its mountain peak. An oread often wears a gown or dress woven from the metals of the mountain, and many wear uncut gems taken from the hidden depths of their mountain.Willing Host for Monsters. An oread fiercely guards her mountain's untrammeled state, and prefers the presence of monsters over that of more civilized folk, since monsters are less likely to steal away the mountain's treasures. Even a wyvern that lairs in a crack in her mountain, jealously guarding a vein of metal or gems, doesn't actually damage the natural state of the mountain. A clan of dwarves, on the other hand, is bound to tunnel and dig, stealing her mountain's very bones, and such things can't be tolerated.Brilliant Engineers. Oreads are brilliant stoneworkers and engineers. They rarely use these skills except when arranging deadly traps for those who would exploit their home mountain. An oread has neither need nor desire to build shelter or walls. It prefers to live on the natural ledges and heights of its peak, using its abilities to create deadfalls, avalanches, rockfalls and other similar traps that use the natural surroundings.Oread Treasure. If an oread's secret cave lair can be found, it is 90% likely to contain 2d4 gems.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Oread</td><td>Challenge 4</td></tr><tr><td>Medium fey, lawful neutral</td><td>1,100 XP</td></tr></table><img src="https://www.enworld.org/attachments/1599771485172-png.126033/" alt="1599771485172.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Armor Class 18 (natural armor)Hit Points 75 (10d6 + 40; bloodied 37)Speed 30 ft., burrow 30 ft.<img src="https://www.enworld.org/attachments/1599771486387-png.126034/" alt="1599771486387.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>STR</td><td>DEX</td><td>CON</td><td>INT</td><td>WIS</td><td>CHA</td></tr><tr><td>19 (+4)</td><td>13 (+1)</td><td>18 (+4)</td><td>14 (+2)</td><td>13 (+1)</td><td>16 (+3)</td></tr></table><img src="https://www.enworld.org/attachments/1599771488291-png.126035/" alt="1599771488291.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Saving Throws Dex +3, Con +6Skills Survival +3Damage Immunities coldSenses passive Perception 11Languages Dwarven, Sylvan, TerranProficiency Bonus +2; Maneuver DC 14<img src="https://www.enworld.org/attachments/1599771489448-png.126036/" alt="1599771489448.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Earth Glide. The oread can burrow through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone. While doing so, the elemental doesn't disturb the material it moves through.Mountain Dependency. For every hour that the oread spends more than one mile from its mountain, the oread gains one level of exhaustion that it can't lose until it completes a long rest within one mile of its mountain.ACTIONSMultiattack. The oread makes two slam attacks.Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6+4) bludgeoning damage.Innate Spellcasting. The oread can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components and using Charisma as her spellcasting ability (save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks):3/day charm monster (will affect any creature type, but otherwise as charm person), spike growth, stone shape, transmute rock.1/day earthquake, move earth.Stone Tell. The oread speaks to a stone or rock area, surface or object. The stone is friendly to her, and can relate what it has overheard or felt, but has no other senses.Mountain Step (1/Rest). The oread instantly teleports from one spot on its mountain to another with no chance of error.</blockquote>
