[QUOTE="GuyBoy, post: 9252629, member: 7031143"] New monster(s): Railboss Lich (unique) aka Old Spiker In the earliest days of railroad building, no boss was as rapacious, greedy, cruel and brutal as Cassius Johannes. He was a man as strong and violent as he was vicious, and he would often beat his workers, sometimes to death, for the tiniest infractions, using his mighty hammer. Eventually, the terrified workers gathered their courage and attacked him one night as he lay drunk. They slew him and finished this act by driving a golden rail spike through his chest. A spike that he had been saving for the completion of his current contract. Johannes died. But he did not! Now he haunts the railroads by night, travelling by ancient pump trolley, with a coffee of iron rail spikes, and seeking prey. Any living being he sees from his handcart, will be stalked, attacked and slain, with a final blow driving an iron rail spike through their heart. This causes them to rise, the next night, as Rail Revenants. It is said that Johannes can only be truly slain if the golden spike in his chest is removed and melted down. Rail Revenants: These grim undead originated from the evil of Old Spiker. Ghoul-like, they haunt the railroads by night, attempting to slay any people they find. If a Rail Revenants slays a victim, they remove the iron spike from their own chest ( thereby achieving final rest) and drive it into their dead victim, causing them to rise as a Revenant the next night.
