[sblock=Kerlan] Kerlan puts his impressive mind to work on the problem and begins to make some connections. Kerlan's knowledge of the Arcane tells him that this is no ordinary undead created by necromancy. Religious texts he has studied suggest that in cases where deaths are particularly violent or caused by particular malice or heartless action or inaction the Demon Prince Orcus is said to take an interest. Rather than passing on in the usual way, the unfortunate victim may instead rise as an undead born of particular evil and malice toward those who were responsible. It is said the Demon Prince delights in such revenge. While he can't say the exact nature of the undead in question he can draw some conclusions. It will be powerful and bent on destruction of some particular focus. While once a man or man-like being it is almost certainly transformed in some horrible way now. Perhaps with more clues he can further develop an image of the foe.[/sblock]
