They gathered in the church crypt, began chanting songs and prayers, lit magic candles and a huge fire, then threw the book on top of it.The complex ritual wasn’t necessary, as this sort of book “wants” to be destroyed (see Appendix 6). Erkmar could have destroyed it with just a candle. Still his quick actions afterwards, and the fact that he immediately sealed the temple, prevented an even greater catastrophe occurring.At first nothing happened, the book seemed to resist the fire. But suddenly, the Abbot was blinded by a roaring flame and the whole temple was engulfed in heavy black smoke that made it hard to breathe.When he was able to see and breathe again, he gasped in horror, for what he saw was too terrible for him to behold.Everyone in the temple, except for himself, had been transformed into a zombie, skeleton or other terrible form of undead. In shock, he stumbled all the way out of the temple and banged the door shut behind him, never to return again.All the undead in this temple were transformed by The Dark Book of Grimic about 30 years ago.Skeleton: Like all the monks and clerics in the temple, these acolytes were transformed into undead when the Dark Book of Grimic was destroyed 30 years ago.Dark Book of Gimric.Zombie: Dark Book of Gimric.Ghoul: Dark Book of Gimric.Wight: Dark Book of Gimric.Wraith: Dark Book of Gimric.The Dark Book of GrimicThis strange book, made of human skin and written in blood, is a powerful tool of the chaotic god Grimic, “the Slaughterer”.It is written in the goblin tongue.Every worshipper of Grimic who reads this book, which takes 1d4 days, can add 1 point to his strength score and 1 point to his wisdom score.The true purpose of the book is only fulfilled when lawful beings try to destroy it. The book can only be destroyed by fire, but the moment the pages catch alight, black smoke will erupt from the book, turning every living thing within its cloud into an undead thing of comparable hit points (e.g. level 1 persons are transformed into skeletons, level 2 beings become zombies, those of level 3 will become wights, level 4 – wraiths, level 5 - mummies, level 6 - spectres, and those of level 7 or higher will become vampires).The sole purpose of these undead beings is to destroy all living things in the immediate surroundings, which gives them a morale of 12.</blockquote>
