I'm making an adventure for my PCs where they go into a castle belonging to an evil Necromancer. I need to add some interesting decorations to the rooms that otherwise would be empty. And I want to show the party how evil, sick, and twisted this guy is. I want something so sick, so freakish I get to say make a will save vs. fear. Some ideas I've had (though I'd love better ones)
You see a small, iron cage hanging from the ceiling. At the bottom of it are sharp, iron spikes. Inside the cage, you see a mangled corpse with a look of pure greif and anguish frozen on their face. Below the cage is a pool of blood. You can see the corpse was freshly killed, as it is still dripping blood. Suddenly, the corpse turns towards you, it's half rotted face twisting and contorting. You only barely realize, he's trying to talk. He send a strange moaning from his throat, but you manage to make out the tormented words "Help Me" before he goes into spasms, blood spraying everywhere. A few drops hit your face, as he finally freezes, and dies.
I need something like that, if not freakier. Some info. about the necromancer (they won't actually meet him for a few adventures, they're still first level)
He's cannibalistic, meaning that he eats not only members of his own race but other humanoids as well. He's a gnome that was raised in a human city. His family was constantly tormented by taller humans with a powerful prejudice against Gnomes and Halflings. Because of this, whenever someone is good and dead, he usually hacks off portions of their bodies so that they have approximately the same proportions as a gnome. He also uses babies and children for his undead, stretching them out in order to kill them and to make them more effective in battle. Some women, babies, and children he packs away in his meat cellar for meal time. He constantly raids and pillages the nearby metropolis, always using a different form and always commanding his legions of unlife. Any adventurers that come along always end up in his front yard with unflattering tombstones.
Any ideas for decorations or other ways to totally freak out my party would be great, thanks.
