In the Patriarch's Abode
The Patriarch astutely observes, "But, wait, the constable over here who refuses to tell me his name said, 'creatures who may have died under cruel circumstances might, with a little help from Orcus himself, rise as undead with an almost rage against others similar to the one responsible for its death.' Similar to the one responsible for its death. Do you suppose just being a priest will be simliar enough? Perhaps there was some other trait held in common among the victims. If you choose the wrong trait to emulate you could be awhile prompting an attack on you, while the murders possibly continue. Be very certain that you have planned for all eventualities before embarking on any serious endeavor, I always say."
