Hit: The creature must make a DC 24 Constitution saving throw against this magic. On a successful save, nothing happens. On a failed save, it becomes restrained as its body begins t harden. It must repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If it saves against this effect three times, the effect ends. If it fails its saves three times, it is turned to iron and petrified until it is subjected to the greater restoration spell or similar magic. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive; keep track of both until the target collects three of a kind. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Dispater's Iron Petrification for the next 24 hours. Rusty Pieces. Dispater touches a nonmagical metal object he can see within 10 feet of him and destroys it. If the object is being worn or carried by a creature, it can make a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object is destroyed. On a successful save, the object is not destroyed.

Dispater is a great archdevil and the powerful lord of Dis, the second plane of Baator. He wears red robes and looks humanoid, except for his goat hooves, small horns, and spiked tail. He carries his legendary Rod of Dispater and rules from his fortified Iron Tower in the iron city of Dis, named after the whole plane itself. He is an amazing strategist and often fights defensively. His Iron Tower of Dis provides amazing protection. Dispater is said to have skin almost as hard, or even as hard, as iron. He is worshiped by some mind flayers.
