Message: <blockquote data-quote="Todd Roybark" data-source="post: 7959997" data-attributes="member: 6920677">As for encounter CR, it is fine.Thematically I wonder is it appropriate?  Revenants are typically moved by a hate that will not be denied.  From the description provided, it sounded as if something else had brought the acolytes low, rather than the party.How does the NG God of Light/Life feel about undead?  Lathander from the Forgotten Realms, as an example, hates undead.  If the god from the OP, feels similarly about undead as Lathander, the acolyte is literally rejecting their life’s work and eternal salvation to come back from the grave to find their unknown killer...whom in essence performed a coup de grace against them when dying.I agree with others that hyping the horror elements is key.  If you want to go this way.1) Have the party awaken to find scrawled, in the blood of a dismembered animal, on the tiny hut:   “I KNOW WHAT YOU DID”.2) Have the party find tracks leading back to the grave, that presumably they dug for the acolyte.   The earth on the grave appears disturbed, and freshly applied, but still a burial mound.   If the party exhumes the grave, the body is still there, with blood on it’s fingers.3) Have the Revenant, stalk the party..appearing to other party mates and demanding the necromancer be submitted to the justice of the aforementioned god, or they share the doom of the necromancer.4) Have the Revenant leave an exact illustration of the person the Necromancer loves most,(besides themselves),  with the words: “A life for a life..”The natural setup seems too good to just use as a late night ambush.</blockquote>
