Breath Poison ◆◆ (arcane, poison) The iron warden exhales poisonous gas in a 10-foot burst centered on the corner of one of the iron warden's squares. The gas persists until the start of the warden's next turn. Any creature in the area (or that later enters the area) is exposed to the iron warden's poison.

The warden can't Breathe Poison again for 1d4 rounds.

Inexorable March ◆ The iron warden Strides up to its Speed, pushing back each creature whose space it moves into and damaging them if they try to stop its movement. A creature can attempt to bar the way by succeeding at a DC 37 Fortitude save. On a critical success, the resisting creature takes no damage; otherwise, it's damaged as if hit by the iron warden's fist.
