Drunken Touch.

The mead archon touches a creature within 5 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. If a creature poisoned this way takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the condition on a success.

  • The archon has advantage on attack rolls and saving throws until the end of its next turn.
  • The archon regains 10 hit points.
