Boneburst

Clouds of debris coalesce into swirling, faceless shapes held together by rust-red fog and spectral, dripping clots of gore — the unholy residue of Verex-That-Was, gathering itself to strike.

Disable DC 38 Occultism (master) to temporarily negate the psychic resonances around each fragment, causing the agglomeration to fall apart, or DC 33 Religion (expert) to temporarily interrupt Verex-That-Was's unholy power with divine energy from another source. If a boneburst takes 40 points of damage from a single source and it isn't destroyed, it is rendered dormant for 1 round.

Trigger A living creature approaches within 50 feet of a dormant boneburst

Effect The boneburst awakens, roiling up from the ground, and rolls initiative.
