Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 6106077" data-attributes="member: 57383">Checking the module again, I found the answer to the "Rejuvenation delay" question:I've updated the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/5999586-post1241.html" target="_blank">The Reaper Working Draft</a>'s Rejuvenation so it's "The following night" instead of "2d12 days later".As for the background, how's this:The gaunt figure of a man carrying a scythe. All you can see of his  face is a mouth twisted into an evil leer, the rest is shadowed beneath a  broad cane hat. Despite the peasant's hat and weapon, he carries himself proudly. His  clothes are caked in blood and soil, but are once-noble garments of  silk. What little skin you can see looks dirt-grey and wrinkled.The Reaper is one of the Seven Swords, a group of seven weapon masters who were transformed into unique undead by an ancient curse that binds them to a castle they once guarded in life. If one of the Seven Swords is destroyed, the curse causes them to reform the following night and continue to haunt the castle. The Reaper was once a nobleman who affected the habits of a peasant. He specialized in the scythe, with which he harvested men even more eagerly than he'd harvest wheat. Trapped in undeath, The Reaper still finds joy in bloodshed, and will whistle and grin evilly at the mere prospect of a fight.The Reaper is 6 feet tall and weighs about 150  pounds. It can speak Common in an eerie whisper, but rarely does so.        CombatThe Reaper uses its burrowing and gravesight abilities to hide   underground and await intruders, whereupon it leaps out of the ground to   attack. The Reaper fights to the finish with no thought of retreat,   trusting in its sword charm's power to restore it to unlife should it be destroyed.In Kara-TurThe Seven Swords were the leading members of the Ito clan and lived in Ito-Jo castle. Their malign influence of a krakentoa led to their rule becoming tyrannical and eventually brought down a dreadful curse upon the Swords and the entire castle, turning it into a haunted place of the damned. The Seven Swords of It-Jo cannot be destroyed simply by destroying their sword charms. The only way to permanently lay them to rest is to slay the krakentoa responsible for the curse.Not even The Reaper can remember what its name was when he was alive, all that is known is he was a Kensei weapon master who lived in a stone gardener's hut next to the second gatehouse of the castle.The Reaper's hut is surrounded by a rusting iron fence whose gate hangs loose and creaks in the wind. If anything touches the gate or fence it triggers a magical illusion of howling winds, flashing lightning and earth tremors that lasts for 1 round, which alerts The Reaper to erupt from the ground and "harvest" the intruders.</blockquote>
