The new wraith appears in the space where the humanoid died or in the nearest unoccupied square, and it rolls a new initiative check. Wisp Wraith: ?Fin, Ghost: As the characters search the cemetery for clues, they sense the presence of an invisible ghost—the vestige of a young boy named Fin who was trampled to death by a horse three years ago. But communing with Fin’s spirit reveals that someone has plundered his remains, and indeed, characters who dig up the graves discover that most of them are empty. Why are you not at rest? “My bones! Gone!” Four years ago, a local farmer named Holgar Razlek found the boy stumbling through a field in the dead of winter, half frozen to death. Brigands had killed his parents and older sister, forcing the boy to flee his distant homestead. Holgar took the boy in, even though his wife and sons weren’t thrilled with the idea. Fin lived with the Razleks for less than a year. One fateful evening, a horse trampled him to death while he was crossing the road in front of the family’s cottage. The horse was pulling an ale wagon, and the dwarf merchant at the reins wasn’t local. The merchant swore that he didn’t see Fin dart in front of his horse and wagon until it was too late. Karla was relieved when Fin died, because he was deeply troubled and required her undivided attention. She and Holgar also confess that Fin suffered from constant nightmares about the brigand attack that killed his family. His screams woke the household and frightened the other boys, and other members of the household would occasionally hear voices and sounds of the brigand attack as though it were happening in their home, suggesting that Fin had the power to project his psyche. Undead: Talther Yorn instructed Grygori to steal bones from the Baron’s Hill cemetery on moonless nights over the course of several months. The necromancer has been grinding the bones to a fine powder, which he combines with other ingredients to create a necrotic admixture that transforms living creatures into undead horrors. He has been testing this foul concoction on assorted animals, a few wayward travelers, and a mob of goblin underlings. Hound of Ill Omen: ?Ghast: Talther Yorn hired Grygori Dilvia to plunder ancient barrows and battlefields for bones, and Grygori enjoyed the mindless work. The spirits of the dishonored dead cursed Grygori and slowly transformed him into a ghast. Goblin Zombie: The book on the lectern contains Talther Yorn’s meticulous notes (written in Common) about his various alchemical experiments, most of which focus on the reanimation of dead tissue and the creation of zombies by alchemical means. The pages to which the book lies open list the ingredients and instructions for creating a necromantic fluid that Yorn unimaginatively refers to as bone juice. According to the book, this substance can turn a living creature into an obedient zombie without the need for an animation ritual. A quick read of Yorn’s tome provides the following information: F Creating or using bone juice is an inherently evil act. F When bone juice is injected into a living subject, death comes quickly. Within an hour, the corpse reanimates as a weak-willed zombie under its creator’s control. F The bone juice admixture must be perfect. Many of Talther Yorn’s early bone juice concoctions killed his subjects without reanimating them. F The key ingredient in bone juice is powdered bone. Talther recently discovered that the more diseased the bone, the greater the chance that the “end result” (in other words, the zombie) will go berserk. Thus, the bones of the elderly are less desirable than the bones of the young. F Talther’s last entry reveals that he recently injected bone juice made from the remains of a child named Fin into a “willing” goblin subject, and the experiment was successful. The goblin is unnamed, but Talther remarks in passing that the creature has only one eye. If the characters goad him into talking about what he did with Fin’s bones, he gloats that he ground the bones to powder, mixed the powder with some other ingredients, and injected the concoction into a goblin to turn it into a zombie Small creature killed by bone juice injection.The necromancer ground the young boy’s bones into powder and used the powder as an ingredient in the bone juice that transformed a helpless one-eyed goblin into a goblin zombie. The necromancer lured a gang of goblins to his stronghold and has been using them as test subjects. He has turned several of them into zombies and tricked the others into thinking this transformation makes them more powerful. Goblin Zombie Bugsack: ?Skeleton: ?Phantom Warrior: ?Flesh Tapestry: Talther Yorn stitched and animated this undead creature, which tears itself free of the iron rod and flops across the floor in pursuit of prey. Skeletal Cats: The three skeletal cats were once Talther Yorn’s living pets. They do not attack unless either the characters attack them first, or their master commands them to do so. Left to their own devices, they follow the characters wherever they go, occasionally getting underfoot while remaining aloof. The cats lack the ability to purr, yowl, or make other vocal sounds, but their bones and claws click eerily when they move. If a character makes any effort to befriend the skeletal cats, they might exhibit behavior that seems friendly, such as attacking a goblin zombie, fetching a thrown object, or leaping into the character’s arms. This behavior hides their true loyalty to their longtime master and creator, Talther Yorn. Zombie Shambler: Non-small creature killed by bone juice injection.Hulking Zombie: ?Vampire Necromancer, Talther Yorn: Hoping to erase an old injury, the necromancer became a vampire, and he has continued to conduct his evil experiments within his secure underground sanctuary to this day. The necromancer recently transformed himself into a vampire. Talther Yorn recently performed a necromantic ritual that transformed him into a vampire Ghoul: Before he found Severine, Talther Yorn employed a trio of bandits to do grunt work. They started to demand too much money for their labors, so Yorn had them killed and then brought them back as subservient ghouls. The ghouls are the remains of three human bandits who used to perform odd jobs for Talther Yorn until they demanded a little too much money for their services. Echo Spirit: Life-giving magic from the fey crossing preserved the spiritual remains of those who have died here over the ages, but Soryth’s recent corruption of the area has awakened one of these remnants as an angry undead creature.
