[QUOTE="MojoGM, post: 2476621, member: 11414"] My thought was if she NEVER enters the office until the moment she finds him, and he appears to be quite alive when he goes in, nobody can claim she did it. This is a good idea...worth considering certainly. But one of the things I wanted to do was make it appear the owner may have been drunk when he returned, since he was sort of shuffling and stumbling (being a newly made zombie and all). But questioning those who saw him BEFORE he entered the stable (perhaps someone working outside) can say he seemed stone cold sober when he arrived. How did he suddenly become drunk? I want to leave lots of little clues and inconsistancies to help the PCs discover the truth. Plus, I like the idea of Darius being so dense (high INT low WIS) that he walks in the office, sits there waiting until he finally noticed the guy dead. According to the spell description, there are two possible reasons why the spell could fail, he makes the saving throw or is an undead...I wonder how long it will take the PCs to consider the second possiblity?
