Just his strength of will (i.e. his Wisdom has been decreased). I guess you could say that his soul has been affected since he'd likely be easy to dominate once again.[/sblock]Shrough knows that there several types of undead that can dominate the mind and drain a person's lifeforce away (specifically vampires). The end result is usually death, however. It could explain why Corlag doesn't remember anything about what happened. Shrough doesn't find any vampire bite marks on Corlag, however, and the man doesn't have the stench of death on him. It is possibly he had an encounter with something powerfully divine, a newly spawned quasi-deity or something even more powerful. That would be very unlikely (and the worst case scenario). Shrough knows there are many old cults in Bard's Gate that could have a presence in the nearby forests, but he'd have to have access to a local library to discover more (DC 20).There is another option. Shrough has heard tales of something monstrous that lives in the forest. It is an old story about a magical creature that has six limbs and the head of a woman. It is said to be able to "steal a man's soul." Shrough doesn't recall the type of beast but it wouldn't be hard to find out. Again, he'd need access to a library of books (DC 15).</blockquote>
