Nest of Bees (5e Equipment)

Cost: 5 gp
Weight: 2 lbs

A little basket filled with angry workers bees. As an action, you can throw this nest on a point you can see, with 5-foot square of area, within 20 feet of you, releasing the bees on impact. A creature in the point of impact must make a Dexterity saving throw against a DC of 12, taking 1 piercing damage and 1 poison damage on a failed.

If there's no creature on the point of impact, or after hitting a creature, the bees will fly 5 feet in a random direction if it can move and its speed is at least 5 feet. Roll a d4 for the direction: 1, north; 2, south; 3, east; or 4, west. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks, and if the direction rolled is blocked, the target doesn’t move. Any creature that moves to the bees area or start its turn on it must make a saving throw against the same DC to avoid damage.

At the start of each round, roll a d10. On a roll of 1-5, the swarm of bees disperses. All the bees in the swarm die after causing 11 points of piercing damage.
