Dishonorable Combatant : The Minotaur Seer prioritizes targets with the lowest defensive values in combat.

Epilogue : Knowledge known and unknown to all combatants suggest the encounter does not end when The Minotaur Seer’s hit points drop to 0.

Turns

Focus Turn (21) : Minotaur Seer may move up to half their movement speed. The Minotaur Seer choses a target, learning all meta knowledge about the target.

Conjure Turn (16) : Minotaur Seer may move up to half their movement speed. The Minotaur Seer calls for a Mammowrath Guard. Roll a 1d20.  On a roll of 10 or higher, the Mammowrath Guard is called for.

Action Turn (11) : Minotaur Seer may move up to half their movement speed. The Minotaur Seer casts one of the following spells:

• Ignatious Sphere (Dex Save 15 - 4d8 Fire Damage)
• Extinction (Con Save - 4d8 Necrotic Damage)
• Violent Nightmare (Int Save - 4d8 Psychic Damage)
• Force Wave (Str Save - 4d8 Force Damage).

Move Turn (6) : Minotaur Seer teleports up to their movement speed, Leaving a Ritual of Blood circle.

Phase Turn (1) : Minotaur Seer creates a sphere of Hellish Energy if there is not one on the battlefield.  At the end of every player’s turn, the Hellish Energy shoots in a line towards the player, attacking with Hellish Tradition to each target it hits, including the target player.  The Hellish Energy Remains on the player’s square.  At the end of the next Phase Turn, the Hellish Energy explodes with Hellish Retribution.

• Trait : Hellish Dodge
  • During the Target Player’s Turn, the Target Player may spend a bonus action to dodge the Hellish Energy, taking no damage.
• Trait : Hellish Deflect
  • During the Target Player’s Turn, the Target Player may spend a bonus action to deflect the Hellish Energy.  You must make an attack roll or a spell attack roll, beating an AC of 8. On success, you deflect the Hellish Energy back to the Minotaur Seer in an arcing line (not targeting players through the line).  The Minotaur Seer is able to deflect back if he breaks an increased AC of 10, with Hellish Tradition increased damage by 1d8.  This continues back and forth until the AC is not broken, in which the failed target takes damage from Hellish Tradition.  Each deflection further increases the AC by 2, and the damage by 1d8 this turn.
