Banner Pike.mw 10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ({@damage 1d10 + 5) piercing damage plus 13 (3d8) necrotic damage. If the target is a Humanoid, it must succeed on a 16 Charisma saving throw or be cursed. The curse lasts until it is lifted by remove curse or similar magic. Black, thorny rose stems sprout from the creature's body while it is cursed, imposing disadvantage on the creature's ability checks and attack rolls and halving its speed. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw against the curse is immune to it for 24 hours.
Terrifying Litany 5.Wersten recites names of souls slain by Soth and his company, channeling their mortal terror. Each creature that isn't an Undead within 30 feet of her must make a 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 22 (4d10) psychic damage and is frightened of Wersten for 1 minute. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't frightened. At the end of each of its turns, a frightened creature can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Wersten Kern

Wersten Kern is Lord Soth's standard bearer and champion. As with many of Soth's knights, she died alongside her liege during the Cataclysm and was cursed with undeath. In battle, she wields a wicked pike that flies Soth's black rose standard, and her cries can stop mighty warriors' hearts. Wersten staunchly follows Soth's commands, and she will serve him until she faces a second doom.
