Choir Encounter (2–4 Celedones)

Dynamic Combat Notes:

• Formation: Celedones hover within 60 ft. to maximize Choir Harmony.
• Initiative & Actions: Each acts independently but may coordinate movement to maintain aura benefits.
• Combined Hymn of Binding: With 3–4 Celedones, DC rises by +2–3, potentially incapacitating multiple enemies.
• Resonant Healing Coordination: Heal actions are staggered to cover the maximum number of allies per round.
• Target Prioritization: Focus on enemy spellcasters first, then remove debuffs or heal allies.
• Damage Tracking: Each Celedone tracks its own HP; losing one reduces Choir Harmony bonuses but does not disable others.
• Environmental Advantage: Prefer open or elevated spaces to maintain flight and avoid melee threats.

Suggested Encounter Composition:

• 2 Celedones: Moderate challenge (CR ~9) for small parties
• 3 Celedones: Hard challenge (CR ~11) for mid-level parties
• 4 Celedones: Deadly challenge (CR ~12) for high-level parties
