Lair Actions

Cleaning Procedure

If a hazardous terrain was produced in the area of the Grand Orc Kitchen, any of the orcs including Grand Orc Chef can choose to skip their turn and instead neutralize the zone.

Grand Orc Kitchen

The Grand Orc Kitchen is the place where the Orc Head Chef meets his rivals and cook his heavenly(from the description of his fellow orcs) dishes. It is a 45×45 feet room made out of polished stone. On the left front corner there is a metal box with shelves and ice runes to keep all the food good 'n ready. In the centre, there is a 5×10 feet table with a magical blender, a kettle and a frying pan. for cutting meat and serving meals. In the right, there is a cooking line - a fire runic oven, a magical orcish cooktop, and a dishwasher with 2 big barrels of water. There are also chests with instruments to cook.

The smell is fine, with the enjoyable notes of well-cooked food and burnt veggies. The sound is cutting sounds, water splashes, local magic and orcy chaotic arguments and cooking. The sensations are strong, overheated air and smoke.

Regional Effects

The Sound of Beatitude

The kitchen is an enclosed stone room packed with metal pots, pans, and utensils. Whenever a creature takes Thunder damage or uses an ability that creates a loud noise (such as the Thunderwave spell), the sound echoes violently.

Every creature in the kitchen must immediately make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is Deafened until the end of its next turn.

The Orc Head Chef is a kind yet a very strict chef, working at the Grand Orc Kitchen. Even through his manners and race may make him look untrusty, he's one of the greatest chefs earth have ever seen. On his kitchen and leadership, screams rule, sounds deafens and smell blesses. A good chef always sees a burnt piece or an underwashed dish - that's why sneaking on him is almost impossible, including specters. He can and will test the adventurers on "a cook's blessing" - a fight based on non-lethal damage.

Damage

Is stricly non-lethal. The ones who fail gets the penalty of serving as a dishwasher on the kitchen for an hour. Upon beating the Head Chef, he'll compliment the dexterity of the heroes and will give them the Legendary Orc Stew.
