Chrysididae - Sapphire Wasp

The sapphire wasp is a construct as long as a goliath is tall. The artificial insectoid is covered in armored plates with a fair imitation of glittering chitin stained a rich azure as its name suggests. Every segment of its chassis slides seamlessly and soundlessly as it moves. Save of course, wings of enchanted glass, also a brilliant blue, that buzz with musical precision while the sapphire wasp is in flight. Its undercarriage is framed by similar glass where a calvanic engine crackles with long bolts of captured electricity which cascade down to its singer. Hints of sculpted flesh and bone are fused to its internal components. Unlike an actual bug, it only has one eye, an asymmetrically-faceted ruby set between two twitching antennas.

Step 4 - No Escape. “I have found the slaad husbandry, for lack of a better term, to my liking and remarkably easy. Perhaps, despite all your best efforts my darling, I feel a kinship with these otherworldly abominations. I am no longer a woman. I am no longer a thing of this world. Yet, I will ensure that the world is set right. While my ruby wasps can deal with lesser magi and their guards, I needed something to deal with the heavy hitters. Not only is the sapphire wasp better at tearing apart its victims, but the unique frequency produced from its crystal is adjustable and prevents all methods of teleport around it! Once the Planar Guild’s personal guards fall, they will try and run away, only to find themselves trapped like rats! And like rats, they will be exterminated with prejudice. In fact, should the foolish wizards try to scurry away, the construct can pull them back in using a different chaotic frequency. My darling, our vengeance is at hand!” -The Vespidae

Actions

Multiattack.

The sapphire wasp makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its stinger.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) piercing damage.

Stinger.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10ft, one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) piercing damage and 7 (2d6) lightning damage.

Reality Stretch (Recharge 6).

The sapphire wasp warps the space around it with a ripple of focused chaos magic. The area within 20ft of the construct is considered difficult ground until the start of its next turn. All creatures within 20ft of the Chrysididae must succeed on a DC 14 Strength check or be pulled 15ft directly toward the construct, ignoring the difficult ground and taking 10 (3d6) force damage. Creatures who succeed are not moved and do not take damage.

At the start of the sapphire wasp's next turn, all creatures that failed the save and are still within 15ft of the Chrysididae are violently pushed away 15ft in a straight line from the wasp, are knocked prone, and take an additional 10 (3d6) force damage.
