[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7398794, member: 2209"] [b]Teratic Tome[/b] [URL=http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/110459/Teratic-Tome?affiliate_id=17596]Teratic Tome[/URL] OSRIC [b]Banshee Ivory:[/b] The ivory banshee is the ghost of an elven woman who worshiped the demon queen Abyzou. [b]Demimondaine:[/b] The demimondaine, in the form of a pale green light, descends upon the body of an unavenged female murder victim, typically a prostitute or courtesan. The undead spirit animates the corpse and sends it lurching after the murderer. [b]Ghast Ash:[/b] ? [b]Ghast Cicatrix:[/b] ? [b]Ghost Palimpset:[/b] The palimpsest ghost is the spirit of a halfling so ferocious in its cruelty that it has broken the bonds of mortality to become undead. [b]Ghoul Lesion:[/b] Created by an errant demon lord while visiting the Prime Material plane. [b]Malchior:[/b] A legendary thief, Malchior the Deft accumulated great wealth during his adventures, but it was never enough. Eventually, he heard tales of the Malist Oubliette, a horrific dungeon. There, those who use magic are hunted and destroyed; those who pray are excoriated; those who stand and fight are rent and devoured; and those who skulk and sneak are rewarded for their guile. He deceived his fellow adventurers, and they entered the Oubliette; treachery ensued. Malchior backstabbed his allies and left them to die so that he could survive the dungeon. Eventually, he reached the Inconcessus, a place where a daring thief might even steal the secrets of death itself. He did so, and became a lich. [b]Querist:[/b] Once a mighty pit fiend, and personal servant of an archdevil in the coldest of the Hells, the devil known as Vassago was infected by a verminate zombie (q.v.) while on the Prime Material plane. His body was transformed: though deathless, he decays, dropping bits of putrescent viscera as he stumbles from one room to the next, muttering to himself. [b]Skeletal Warden:[/b] Twelve dark paladins served their dark masters so well that they continue to do so beyond death: these are the dreaded skeletal wardens. Heavily armored undead warriors, they carry out the will of their creators, the archdevils of Mictlan. [b]Spectre Battle:[/b] ? [b]Xarualac:[/b] The xarualac is the restless spirit of a dead musician, one who loved music so much that it could not move on. [b]Zombie Verminated:[/b] Verminated zombies are small animals, such as rats, weasels, rabbits, or cats, which have contracted the red plague. Once infected with the red plague (known to chirurgeons as necrosis), a victim will lose 1-8 hit points per hour, and must also save vs. death each hour or become a zombie. A cure wounds spell will restore hit points, but the save vs. death must still be made on the hour. The only way to end the spell is with cure disease, heal, or remove curse. [/QUOTE]
