[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7521371, member: 2209"] [b]Dungeon 213[/b] [URL=http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/161903/Dungeon-213-4e-Next?affiliate_id=17596]Dungeon 213[/URL] D&D Next [b]Enlarged Skeleton:[/b] ?

[b]Acererak the Demi-Lich:[/b] Ages past, a human wizard/cleric of surpassing evil took the steps necessary to preserve his life force beyond the centuries he had already lived, and this creature became the lich Acererak. Over the scores of years that followed, the lich dwelled with hordes of ghastly servants in the gloomy stone halls of the very hill where the tomb resides. Eventually even the undead life force of Acererak began to wane, so for the next eight decades, the lich’s servants labored to create the Tomb of Horrors. Then Acererak destroyed all of his slaves and servitors, magically hid the entrance to his halls, and went to his final haunt, while his soul roamed strange planes unknown to even the wisest of sages. Joining the halves of the FIRST KEY calls his soul back to the Material Plane, and use of the SECOND KEY alerts the now demilich that he must prepare to do battle to survive yet more centuries. All that remains of Acererak are the dust of his bones and a skull with two 50,000 gp rubies set into its eye sockets. The skull also has six pointed (marquis cut) diamonds set as teeth in its jaw (each diamond is worth 5,000 gp). If any character is foolish enough to touch or strike the skull, a terrible thing occurs. The skull rises into the air, its ruby eyes flickering with malevolence, its diamond teeth agleam with ancient hunger for the souls of the damned. The skull is all that remains of Acererak’s body, but it’s all the demi-lich needs to show the heroes the folly of their endeavors. [/QUOTE]
