[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8305381, member: 2209"] Tyranny of Dragons 5e [b]Naergoth Bladelord, Wight:[/b] ? [b]Dread Warrior:[/b] Created from the freshly dead bodies of skilled warriors, dread warriors are especially formidable zombie-like creatures, retaining some of their intelligence and much of the fighting skill they possessed in life. No race is immune from being transformed into a dread warrior. [b]Lich, Szass Tam:[/b] ? [b]Sandesyl Morgia, Elf Vampire:[/b] ? [b]Tharcion Eseldra Yeth, Human Vampire Spellcaster:[/b] ? [b]Ilda, Ghost:[/b] Ilda is a neutral good ghost who was once one of Diderius's apprentices. She worshiped her master, but was mistakenly banished as a thief when one of his prize tomes was misplaced. Ilda died not long after Diderius, and her spirit returned here to act as caretaker to his great stores of knowledge. This is a creature whose spirit is tied to the world out of anguish. [b]Xonthal, Lich:[/b] The most popular theories are that Xonthal has returned or has awakened as a lich, or that one of the genies and elementals he once imprisoned finally broke free of its restraints but remains trapped inside the tower. [b]Diderius, Mummy Lord:[/b] When Diderius died, those who honored him in life transformed him into a special mummy lord whose magic pervades his tomb. [b]Free-Thinking Undead Soldier:[/b] ? [b]Undead:[/b] ? [b]Dracolich:[/b] The Cult of the Dragon has existed for centuries. During most of that time, its members have focused on the creation and worship of dracoliches, based on a prophecy translated by the cult's founder, Sammaster. In the past, the cult was more active to the east and it was focused on creating dracoliches. Given the chance, she talks about serving under Sammaster and killing dragons to raise them as dracoliches, which she still considers "the true path." This chamber was Xonthal's combination living room, office, and den, used for studying, relaxing, and writing. When they took over the tower, the cultists turned this chamber into another dracolich laboratory. Before Severin assumed control over the Cult of the Dragon, the Well of Dragons was used to transform dying dragons into dracoliches. [b]Ghost:[/b] ? [b]Lich:[/b] ? [b]Wight:[/b] ? [b]Zombie:[/b] A humanoid slain by a Naergoth Bladelord's Life Drain attack rises 24 hours later as a zombie under the Naergoth's control, unless the humanoid is restored to life or its body is destroyed. [b]Mummy:[/b] ? [b]Specter:[/b] Several of the castle's residents were murdered in this topmost room of the northwest tower in particularly hideous fashion. They are still here in the form of three specters haunting the chamber. The undead are the reanimated souls of three cultists who died here and of three yuan-ti that died exploring the ruins. [b]Vampire Spawn:[/b] ? [b]Wight:[/b] ? [b]Will-o'-Wisp:[/b] ? [/QUOTE]
