(of course in film noir the big bad guys are well known personalities). The PCs will probably kidnap (or rescue if you prefer) their old friend who is in a zombie like state, then uncover a way to cast a “True Resurrection” on him to properly align his spirit and his body. Once they have done this then they have a new villain to deal with (before he deals with them) complete with his own criminal empire which could very well be your ongoing main story, or series of side quests. For added effect once rescued, but before the cure, the person playing the half-zombie (or Zombie Goon) could actually play an undead version of himself in a slight state of confusion with only vague or fleeting memories of his past life. This would allow you to run a short “Finding True Resurrection” story that would ease him back into the game in a fun and amusing way. I am not sure if that is the type of thing you want but I hope it gives you some ideas.</blockquote>
