Markish Aghayarea
Freeing a soul this devourer has already swallowed takes exactly the right countermagic; nearly everything else glances off its defenses.
Markish Aghayarea is a devourer, a gaunt undead horror that drags trapped souls within its ribbed cage of a body, churning the waters around it as it feeds on the spirits of the slain.
In play
Spell Deflection (abjuration, divine) A spellcaster who targets a devourer with a mental spell, banishment, bind soul, divine decree, divine wrath, possession, spirit blast, or spirit song can attempt a counteract check to free a soul the devourer has trapped with Devour Soul. If this counteract attempt succeeds, the trapped soul is released (though the creature remains dead), and the devourer can't use any soul charges from that creature. Devourers are otherwise immune to these spells.
