Much like the men before him, Crenforlenn was unable to provide the goddess with children. His failure to give Egramish a child led to his eternal imprisonment in this tomb.Each of Egramish’s former loves was cursed with undeath and sealed within a glass sarcophagus to await the end of time.Garl Grugo, Deathlock, Bony Skeletal Form, Decaying Humanoid, Still Form, Powerful Undead: Mentor and teacher Garl Grugo (now a deathlock with a staff of astral travel) helped train Egramish in sorcery and necromancy for years before their relationship turned romantic. He initially tried to help Egramish with her fertility issue but eventually angered her when he casually hinted that she was the sole problem for her inability to become pregnant. He choked on a poisoned peach pie a few days later and now lingers in a place between death and life in his glass tomb.Each of Egramish’s former loves was cursed with undeath and sealed within a glass sarcophagus to await the end of time.Vlor Romatal, Dread Knight, Suit of Steel Armor, Powerful Undead: Egramish vowed that her first love was the last she would marry. Vlor Romatal, a war hero and fierce warrior, was fiery and full of passion but also a violent drunk. After an abusive few days where his misplaced anger caused her first miscarriage, Egramish promised never to allow another man to strike her and live. Vlor was dead within a week of the incident.The large warrior was buried in the glass sarcophagus in a full suit of sealed armor, his evil spirit (a dread knight) trapped within the steel armor for all eternity.Each of Egramish’s former loves was cursed with undeath and sealed within a glass sarcophagus to await the end of time.Vrelk, Skeletal Priest, Skeletal High Priest: ?Winter Wolf Skeleton, Skeletal Wolf: ?Undead, Undead Creature: ?Ancient Undead: ?Undead Horror: ?Undead Foe: ?Slumbering Dead: ?Awakened Undead: ?Wandering Undead: ?Stillborn Undead Child: ?Diseased Giant Undead Rat: ?Ghoul: By the time the characters arrive, Xenalder has already cast the create undead spell and has 3 ghoul minions.Ghoul, Ghoul Minion: ?Mummy: Four important acolytes that fell while in the service of Egramish were mummified and placed here.Threllana Bhortosa, Mummy, Slender Form Wrapped in Cloth and Funerary Clothing: After her death and entombment, Egramish visited the cold body of Threllana and recalled her from the hellish afterlife. The goddess instilled Threllana’s lifeforce and consciousness in her mummified remains so that the priestess would spend eternity in agonizing contemplation of her hideous appearance.Mummy, Lurking Mummy, Linen-Wrapped Humanoid Form: ?Shadow, Minor Shadow: The occasional wayward acolyte or priest who is judged to be unfit and subsequently killed by the dead warrior [Ghorbog the Obliterator] is brought back to this chamber to rot and reform as a minor shadow.Shadow Demon: ?Blood Shadow: Every sacrifice slain for the goddess has left its imprint on the temple in some manner. All but the purest of souls remain tied to the temple after their blood empties into the great pool. The occasional good soul may depart for its intended afterlife, but all the rest now tirelessly swim within the area awaiting further instructions from the goddess or high priest.Skeleton: Every faction member and conspirator who contributed to the priest’s greed was slain and buried with him in this tomb. Necromantic runes set into the floor continually reanimate the bones into skeletons that fight an eternal battle with the skeletal high priest inside.Skeleton, Conspirator, Skeletal Conspirator: ?Skeletal Being: ?Skeleton, Skeletal Acolyte, Skeleton of a Former Acolyte, Dead Acolyte: ?Skeletal Hero: ?Skeletal Hero, Skeletal Warrior: ?Specter: Staff of Necromantic Power magic item.Ghorbog the Obliterator, Warrior Spectre, Mass of Inky Black Ash, Dead Warrior, Specter: One of the greatest soldiers of the fortress temple was buried here. Taking orders only from the goddess herself, Ghorbog the Obliterator removed many false priests and unfit acolytes from service. When he reached the age where his bones and muscles began to hurt daily, he gave himself up to the goddess by burning himself alive on the altar of the temple before all the high priests of the eight factions. His ashes were buried here, along with his prized possessions. His malevolence was so great that his ashes reformed as a warrior spectre.Galnatak, Vampire, Despised Twin, Imprisoned Twin Sister, Twin Sister, Competent Vampire-Witch, Fierce Undead Foe, Valuable Ally, Mistress: While imprisoned, Galnatak was bitten by a vampire and still suffers from its affliction.Wight: ?Wight, Deformed Grotesque Unborn Child, Two-and-a-Half-Foot-Tall Wight, Child-Wight, Child: ?Greater Wight, Ghoulish Priest: ?Edwurd Kipple, Wight, Powerful Undead, Now-Dead Man: Each of Egramish’s former loves was cursed with undeath and sealed within a glass sarcophagus to await the end of time.Dak Lessar, Greater Wight: An underpriest of Her Unending Malevolence was rejected by the goddess after death and returned to his tomb to starve for all eternity. Dak Lessar never served Egramish properly as one of his rank should have and, as such, was never granted access to her realm after his death.Flin Dandall, Wraith: ?Staff of Necromantic PowerStaff, very rare (requires attunement by a cleric, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard)This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, you gain a +2 bonus to Armor Class, saving throws, and spell attack rolls.The staff has 20 charges for the following properties. The staff regains 2d8 + 4 expended charges daily at midnight. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff retains its +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls but loses all other properties. On a 20, the staff regains 1d8 + 2 charges.Spells. While holding this staff, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC and spell attack bonus: blight (5 charges), black tentacles (5 charges), necrotic blast (4 charges) (see Appendix D), vampiric touch (3 charges). If you cast vampiric touch this way, hitting a creature with the staff of necromantic power counts as touching that creature for purposes of the spell.Retributive Strike. You can use an action to break the staff over your knee or against a solid surface, performing a retributive strike. The staff is destroyed and releases its remaining magic in an explosion that expands to fill a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on it.You have a 50 percent chance to instantly teleport to a known location within one mile, avoiding the explosion. If you do not teleport away, you take necrotic damage equal to 13 x the number of charges in the staff. Every other creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking necrotic damage equal to 9 x the number of charges in the staff on a failure, or half as much damage on a success. If a humanoid dies from this strike, a specter rises from the corpse 1d4 hours later.[/b]</blockquote>
