Tangon, Death Knight, Menace: Meanwhile, the men of Ergoth demanded a wer-gild from the elves, as was set forth in the Swordsheath Scroll, and most of the remaining wealth and magic of the elves was gathered. Furthermore, a young knight of Huma, Tangon, and his copper dragon were sent to escort the treasure caravan as it rolled across Abanasinia to Ergoth.
Tangon, like his dragon, was greedy. He had become a knight only to enjoy the fortunes of war, so the lure of such a treasure drove them to slay the elves of the caravan and take the wer-gild as their own. As they fled the sight of their butchery, a dark shadow crept up before them and they lost their way. Soon the evil they had committed came back to them. Tangon became a death knight and his copper was transformed into a wingless dragon, a tylor.

Spectral Minion Guardian: These beings are ten guardian spectral minions, crazed by the effects of the Graystone. They were once the rear guard, left behind by Solostaran to defend the city. They toppled the bridges, but died in a vain attempt to protect Qualinost. Now they have been doomed to guard the city from all intruders for 100 years and a day.

Porthios, Spectral Minion Searcher: The Graystone will teleport the party and remaining
centaurs into the pit. From the dark opening will come an undead beast—a stahnk. All monsters in the room will howl wildly and chant, hoping to see the PCs slain.
It is at this moment that Porthios finds the Chamber of Life at #S10. The Graystone senses his presence and identifies him, realizes who the party is, and conceives a way of using the PCs to escape the ever-watchful Tree of Life. Porthios attempts to enter the Astral plane and the stone traps his body in the Prime Material plane while his spirit is transported, effectively killing him. The stone then has the body tossed into the crystal vines at #S9.
Realizing that he was no match for the menace before him, Porthios dove between the pillars of the monument. The Graystone then abruptly closed the astral portal, ripping Porthios's spirit from his body, effectively killing the elf.
If the PCs become confused during the latter part of this adventure, Porthios can assist them. He can manifest himself as a searcher spectral minion, but only once or twice.
Skeleton Warrior: ?
Wichtlin: Second, Solostaran's wife was cursed by the lord of the undead, Chemosh, and turned into a wichtlin within this chamber.

Undead Drider: The two "eyes" of Jaithuli's statue are rubies worth 200 stl each. The gold necklace is worth 100 stl, but it is cursed. Any non-worshiper of Jaithuli who wears the necklace is plagued with nightmares of talking evil spiders and writhing spider constellations in the night sky. Each night, the wearer loses 1 hit point permanently. No healing spells, restoration, or wish can restore the lost hit points (see below).
If the wearer is good aligned, he further suffers a -2 penalty to saving throws and attack rolls.
Once the wearer reaches 0 hit points, he is dead and cannot be wished back, resurrected, reincarnated, or raised. If the wearer was neutral or evil, he becomes an undead drider.

Specter: ?
Spectral Minion: The spirit of a Que-Shu Plainsman, in the form of a spectral minion, wanders the former building's perimeters each night. The Plainsman was a sentry who was charged with defending the village hall and seeking out reinforcements to help defend Que-Shu. He failed at both, so he now wanders the ruins of the building, waiting for aid to send ahead to the Que-Shu who managed to escape.
“I perished in the defense of the hall. The Chief had charged me to find help.”
"The battle was over so swiftly. All of us who defended the village perished. At the first rising of Nuitari after my death, my spirit came to rest here, my sense of honor preventing me from going to my rest until my duty is fulfilled."
Spectral Minion, Spirit of a Que-Shu Plainsman, Que-Shu Warrior, Minion: ?
Wichtlin: The wichtlin was a Qualinesti traitor who spied for the Dragonarmies and tried to sabotage the Qualinesti evacuation to Southern Ergoth. He was discovered and executed for his treason.
