N'il Ralglum the Elder Brain

Turning in for the evening, the fire gently sparks and pops, lulling you to sleep. As your breathing settles into a deep rhythm you perceive an approaching light and a powerful psychic consciousness intruding into your awareness….

“Hear me adventurer, for I am N’il Ralglum of the Elder Brain, Chief Herald to The Great Old One, Nyarlathotep. I have been commanded by The Lurker at the Gate to seek out the most powerful of your kind. You have been selected for battle to the death. May the rolls be ever in your favour!”

Arena:

- 20(T)x35 Grid

Objective: first team to acquire all 5 Tokens of Power wins. Tokens of Power located in 4 locked chests at 4 corners of central courtyard plus one open in the cornucopia. Each of you has a psychic connection to the tokens, automatically feeling the exact location of each.

The Battle continues until one team is eliminated, one team possesses all 5 Tokens or time expires. Whichever team owns the majority of Tokens at the end of the contest wins.

Secret Actions:
In a Battle Royale the job of the DM is more to act as a neutral referee to insure compliance to RAW, timekeep and adjudicate secret actions, rather than shaping the narrative. Actions of a secret nature, such as hidden movement or casting spells, can be declared secretly to the DM, which could take the form of passing sticky notes, text messages, or simply whispering; whatever is easiest.

Spellcasting & Spell Identification:
The rules for spellcasting on Xanathar's p.85 are in full effect. When casting a spell the character should simply declare they are casting a spell (including whether there are V, S, or M components), and secretly inform the DM what they cast. Other players must then have an opportunity to react, such as by casting Counterspell or identifying the spell.
