Bound to the Cauldron

If the Stone Cauldron is destroyed, Vard takes 40 damage and howls in pain. If the Stone Cauldron is intact when Vard is reduced to 0 hit points or fewer, the troll king's body turns to a dark fog that flows back into the Cauldron. One round later, he reforms with 174 hp and without Moran's Eye (so he cannot use baleful eye or smoldering eye powers). If the Cauldron is already destroyed when Vard is defeated, his essence dissipates.
