War of the Burning Sky 5E #2: The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar
5e
Ghast: One of Innenotdar’s most harrowing and revolting tragedies lurks now at the grove. Two druids—a husband and wife who had pledged themselves as caretakers for seven children—tried to hide with the youngsters in caves upstream, on a tributary of the river that has since boiled away. They hoped to wait for the fire to die out, but when it did not, the couple began to eat the children. For this act, they rose as ghasts upon their eventual death.

Jutras, Mohrg, Creature More Terrifying Than Death Itself, Oldest Prisoner, Terrible Mass Murderer, Monstrosity, Unique Tool of Torture: Though executed 50 years ago, Jutras’ heinous crimes caused him to arise after his execution as a creature more terrifying than death itself.
Behind this door, which can be noticed itself with a successful DC 21 Wisdom (Perception) check, lurks the castle’s oldest prisoner, a terrible mass murderer named Jutras, who had sought the crown of Dassen fifty years ago. For his crimes, he rose as a mohrg after being hung, and the malicious executioner decided to take advantage of the monstrosity rather than destroy him.
Greater Tragedy: This is a tragedy, an undead monster created by Inquisitor Torrax in a dark ritual that included the sacrifice of many people whom Steppengard had arrested on suspicion of treason.
Zombie: A creature that dies while paralyzed by Jutras rises 1 minute later as a zombie under Jutras’ control.
Typically [Jutras] will terrorize a prisoner and then finish them off, dumping the body into the septic tunnel where it eventually becomes a zombie.

Frozen Zombie: During normal weather, the refuse-filled tunnel under the prison is filled with dozens of hungry zombies, kept in check by steel grates on either end of the chamber. The fierce winter, however, has frozen them in the muck, so that now only their arms and heads reach out.

Dark Pyre Sergeant: Instead he calls upon the power of the Dark Pyre, conjuring a black lightning bolt as he did when the heroes first arrived. These bolts, which Griiat can only evoke once per day, can animate the corpses strewn about the battlefield outside the castle, which intuitively know Griiat’s command. Each bolt raises up a group of swarmers as shown here or a sergeant and soldiers as shown in the Patrol encounter.
Dark Pyre Soldier: Inquisitor Griiat has spotted the heroes, and he has commanded the Dark Pyre to raise defenders for the castle.
A black bolt of lightning descends from the heavens and strikes the floor of the canyon barely thirty feet away, beside an overturned steel cage that lies atop a vast pile of charred skeletons that must once have belonged to hundreds of men, horses, and stranger monsters, all long dead.
The spot where the lightning struck shifts, and bones move with a chorus of deathly laughter; the skeletons of nearly a dozen men rise, grabbing up weapons from around them, their eyes streaming tears of flame.

Lord Gorquith, Unique Undead Jelly, Viscid Mass of Yellow-Grey Ooze, Abomination, Gelatinous Mass of Sickening Yellow-Gray, Ooze Creature, Slimy Noble, Skeleton-Filled Ooze, Ooze: When Emperor Coaltongue took possession of Korstull, he sat upon the throne and ordered Inquisitor Griiat to execute Lord Gorquith and his officers then and there. The noble’s execution was most brutal off all—being thrown into a huge ochre jelly.
Later, when the firestorm tore through Korstull, the executed rebels and the murdered bard were animated as ghasts, and Gorquith’s skeleton was animated within the ooze, the two being bound together as a unique undead jelly.
Undead, Undead Creature: That evening, however, as the emperor slept soundly with the satisfaction of his victory, a trio of assassins struck. Avoiding or striking down every guard, defeating every magical and mundane defense that protected Coaltongue, the assassins managed to reach the emperor’s bedchambers, located behind the throne room. Poison struck down Darius, one of his inquisitor bodyguards, but not before Darius sounded an alarm. The assassins slew the emperor before he woke, and then, bearing the emperor’s body and the Torch, they battled their way to within sight of the open sky and activated the Torch, teleporting away.
But the Torch’s power went awry, and the assassins left behind a rift in the fabric of reality, crossing the Material Plane with the Astral Plane and the Plane of Elemental Fire. Within moments the castle and miles around it were engulfed in flames, and all those slain by the blaze were infused with necromantic energy, soon to rise as undead.
Now, the firestorm created by the rift drifts for miles in every direction, raining liquid flame upon the land, turning anything it slays into undead.
With the wind at their backs, the heroes set out for Castle Korstull, the canyon fortress where Emperor Drakus Coaltongue was slain, and where it is believed the Torch of the Burning Sky may lie. An endless firestorm wracks the surrounding lands, animating all whom it kills as undead, including those who defended the castle that was to be the emperor’s final conquest.

None could, and so the Taranesti were wiped out nearly to the last person.
But the Taranesti did not leave. 41, wretched and aged inside his temple, did not want to let the enjoyment he had taken at their suffering end, so he turned the temple’s powers upon the forest, trapping the ghosts of the dead within the forest’s borders. Now he can enjoy their torment forever.

Ander Folthwaite, Ghost, Slender Gnome: “See, I’ve always been a bit stubborn. My mam told me to care for strangers and that I always have, but I’ve never cared much for what they do outside my home, if you see. Well, when I got caught harboring a mage, the Ragesians brought me in for questioning and they tortured me, which got me right pissed off. I only gave a tired man at my door a place to stay for the night!
“So they told me to tell them what I knew, and I was so mad I told them I knew all about that man’s mission but wouldn’t ever give it up. That,” he admits, a little shamefaced, “were probably a bit childish. But I didn’t!” He looks proud of himself. “They brought in some amateur, with mind magic and such, and I blotted him out with a set of bar tunes day after day, until he had to admit he couldn’t do it! Suck on that lemon, Ragesia!
“Then, they bring this real pro, don’t use magic or nothing. Just sticks me with needles and cuts my thigh open with scissors and haves his pet ghoul gnaw on my fingernails. By this point, it was a matter of pride. I told them I’d let myself die before I’d squeal.”
He looks over his shoulder at the distant fortress. “So they brought me here. I think they said they were going to use me for parts in some kind of machine, but I didn’t let them get me that far. I clawed, I bit, whatever it took, and finally, I won! I forced them to stab me out here. I wasn’t about to sit around in their stinking dungeon and rot, not me. Ha!”
“And then I thought, well, what’s one more? So after I beat their mind wizards and their soldiers I took on Death. I think I’m doing pretty well, so far, except for those creepy monsters they send after me from time to time.”

Aurana Kiirobel, Vampire, Vizier, Sorceress, Most Powerful Servant: ?
Gabal, Dread Wraith, Undead Horror, Overwhelmingly Straightforward Opponent: Through a powerful ritual, inquisitors called back Gabal’s soul and transformed it into a dread wraith which still possesses the abilities the archmage had in life, but is firmly under the control of the Ragesians.
Squad of Skeletons: ?
Specter: They are unlikely to be a threat to the heroes, but if not stopped they will ruin the defenses, for the wraiths replenish their specters from the fallen defenders and kill everyone in a squad before moving on.
When Gabal’s magic mouth taunts the intruders, the wraiths will attack the prisoners, turning them into specters, so that the entire gathering of prisoners will be turned into twisted undead horrors.
At the sounds of combat, the prisoners begin crying out to be rescued, and the wraiths enter the cells. The wraiths act on initiative count 0 (losing ties). They each alternate between killing a prisoner on one turn and raising the victim as a specter on the next turn.
When he is reduced below 35 hit points, Gabal fires one final spell in spite, and flies up through the ceiling into the fourth floor. There he shatters the mirror of life trapping and proceeds to strike at the prisoners while they are too stunned to react. He uses an action to kill one helpless prisoner before raising it as a specter on his next turn, although Vigilance will escape his grasp.
Gabal's Create Specter power.

Gabal, Dread Wraith, Undead Horror, Overwhelmingly Straightforward Opponent: Through a powerful ritual, inquisitors called back Gabal’s soul and transformed it into a dread wraith which still possesses the abilities the archmage had in life, but is firmly under the control of the Ragesians.
Squad of Skeletons: ?
Specter: They are unlikely to be a threat to the heroes, but if not stopped they will ruin the defenses, for the wraiths replenish their specters from the fallen defenders and kill everyone in a squad before moving on.
When Gabal’s magic mouth taunts the intruders, the wraiths will attack the prisoners, turning them into specters, so that the entire gathering of prisoners will be turned into twisted undead horrors.
At the sounds of combat, the prisoners begin crying out to be rescued, and the wraiths enter the cells. The wraiths act on initiative count 0 (losing ties). They each alternate between killing a prisoner on one turn and raising the victim as a specter on the next turn.
When he is reduced below 35 hit points, Gabal fires one final spell in spite, and flies up through the ceiling into the fourth floor. There he shatters the mirror of life trapping and proceeds to strike at the prisoners while they are too stunned to react. He uses an action to kill one helpless prisoner before raising it as a specter on his next turn, although Vigilance will escape his grasp.
