The correct answers are raise, rise, lay, and lies.
raise vs rise: Raise is a transitive verb, meaning it needs a direct object (you raise the lightning rods). Rise is intransitive and does not take an object (the monster rises on its own). lay vs lie: Lay is transitive and needs a direct object (you lay the enchanted cape). Lie is intransitive and takes no object (the monster lies there).
