Description: Lotigath, Ancient Chipped Gargoyle, will speak with you and insult you. If you challenge him you can fight him but he will surrender and does not have a chest. If you admit that you are too weak for the Cerulean Hills, the rare encounter will complete without a fight. While he doesn't appear in the Monster Manual (as you don't actually kill him) you can still see his HP if you have Gargoyle Expertise.

Cerulean Hills

Before fighting with Lotigath:

• Lotigath: Who wakes Lotigath?
  • You: I am <name>, the <class>. Praytell, what exactly are you?
    • Lotigath: I am Lotigath, and I am GARGOYLE! We are ancient, carved from the stones of Eberron. And I will still be here in the eons to come, waiting to challenge those who cross my path.
      • You: Interesting. Why didn't you attack me then?
        • Lotigath: I only fight the strong. Your race is weak! You are like those who came before, those who were destroyed by orcs.
          • You: Is that so? You'll learn to respect a <race> after I crush you. (starts fight)
          • You: Perhaps you're right. The Cerulean Hills are too dangerous for a <race>. (completes rare encounter without a fight and ends conversation)

After dealing enough damage to Lotigath to make him submit:

• Lotigath: Enough..., enough. You are more powerful than I could have imagined.
• Lotigath: I am... humbled by your power.
