Spellcasting. The vorlog is a 5th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 12, +4 to hit with spell attacks). The vorlog has the following warlock spells prepared:

• At will: Chill Touch, Disguise Self, Eldritch Blast, Mage Armor, Minor Illusion

• Up to 3rd-Level (2 Slots/Rest): Bane, Blindness/Deafness, Counterspell, Hex, Speak with Dead, Summon Undead

Wisdom Drain. The vorlog can touch a humanoid creature & force it to make a DC 12 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes a Wisdom score penalty of 3 (1d6) points & has disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws made against the vorlog. This effect ends when the creature completes a long rest. On a success, the creature is immune to this vorlog's Wisdom Drain feature for the next 24 hours.

The vorlog can only have one creature under the effect of the Wisdom Drain at a time.

Regeneration. The vorlog regains 5 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point & isn't in sunlight or running water. If the vorlog takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of the vorlog's next turn.

Tearful Escape. When it drops to 0 hit points outside its resting place, the vorlog dissolves into a puddle of tears instead of falling unconscious, provided that it isn't in sunlight or running water. If it can't transform, it is destroyed.

While in tearful form, the vorlog has a 20' movement & climb speed. It also can squeese through any gap or opening that is not watertight. While it has 0 hit points in tearful form, it can't revert to its humanoid form, & it must reach a dark place within 2 hours or be destroyed. Once in a dark place, it reverts to its humanoid form. It is then paralyzed until it regains at least 1 hit point. After spending 1 hour in its resting place with 0 hit points, it regains 1 hit point.

Vorlog Weaknesses. The vorlog has the following flaws:

• Holy Symbol Aversion. If a creature presents a holy symbol of any good aligned deity, the vorlog must make a Charisma saving throw or be turned as if by a cleric's Turn Undead feature. The DC can be set by the creature's passive Intelligence (Religion), a Charisma (Performance) check, or any other means determined appropriate by the DM.

• Sunlight Hypersensitivity. The vorlog takes 5 radiant damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, it has disadvantage on attack rolls & ability checks.
