The bog contains the remains of many a soul who perished seeking fortune or refuge in its depths: for the Lonely Bog is said to be ruled by a winged woman who can provide either to those she deems worthy.This is true: at the heart of the Lonely Bog dwells the Tar Witch, a woman who cannot be found unless she wills it. She is a relic of a bygone age: a seven foot tall hunched, pterodactyl-like figure whose body oozes black tar. A mantle of dark feathers rests across her shoulders. If someone is trapped in the bog who was truly alone in life, she frees them and offers them a second chance. Those she rescues share some characteristics of undead, making her a perfect patron for an Undying or Undead warlock.Those who were not truly alone in life (which is most people) are left to die and linger in the bog as bog mummies.Ice Mummy, Notorious Ice Mummy: The creature's hit point maximum decreases by 10 (3d6) for every 24 hours that elapse [after being cursed with ice mummy's chill] as the cold permeates its very form. If the target's hit point maximum is reduced to 0 in this way, the target dies and its body freezes solid. After 1d4 hours the body thaws and rises as a new ice mummy.If a creature's maximum hit points would be reduced to 0 in this way [from an ice mummy's chill], the creature dies. The creature's corpse reanimates 1d4 hours later as a hostile Ice Mummy under the GM's control.If a person is bitten by an ice mummy and escapes, often their fate is already sealed. A strange affliction takes hold, and the person slowly freezes to death. When their body thaws, they stir and wake again as an ice mummy.Eight years ago, the alligatoi of Gatia welcomed a heavily scarred mammutida and her lover into their midst. The woman identified herself as a disgraced Prime Warrior named Nima, who along with her lover Cara was the only survivor of an ice mummy attack near the Sea of Lost Souls. With all her people dead, she was unable to see out her exile and return to them, and so she sought refuge among the alligatoi.The alligatoi welcomed and sheltered the couple. The next morning, the remaining alligatoi woke to find that half their number had vanished into thin air along with their guests. There was no blood nor signs of struggle.Though the alligatoi of Gatia hear more tales than anyone else, they have yet to learn what happened to their comrades.Some theorise that the couple were unusually lucid ice mummies, and coerced the missing alligatoi to join them in unquiet death. Perhaps the couple didn’t realise they’d also perished in the ice mummy attack, and genuinely believed they were helping people by leading them away from the alligatoi village.Fearsome Ice Mummy: ?Nima, Unusually Lucid Ice Mummy: Eight years ago, the alligatoi of Gatia welcomed a heavily scarred mammutida and her lover into their midst.
