Carvilius Graeme




"Now, I know what you be thinking. Why is a ghost wandering about hunting other malevolent spirits? We restless folk ain't like a race, guild or nothing. Not all of us are evil neither.

See, among my people, there were folks called fossors. They were somewhere between gravedigger and priest. It was our duty to prepare bones for burial, make sure the right rites were done. That way they'd not rise to menace the living. I was in charge of one of our catacombs. Hell, I don't even remember what ruin its buried under now. Doesn't matter.

Let's just say I screwed up and screwed up bad. Hungry dead came storming out of those catacombs and devoured the grand city above it. I managed to stop it. Weren't easy. The folks that survived didn't care neither. Bound me still living in an iron box, craved curses all over it, and then they moved on to far away lands. Can't say that I blame them.

Save, I didn't come back full of darkness and hate like most spirits do. Nah. I got a duty that I failed once, and I don't intend to fail it again. Save, of course, ghosts ain't no good at fighting one another.

So, what do you say? Wanna put down some ghosts for glory or some wraiths for wealth? Trust me, I don't just know where all the bodies are buried but the treasure too."

Ethereal Sight:

The ghost can see 60 ft. into the Ethereal Plane when it is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.

Grave Marker.

Carvilius knows the location of any undead within 60ft of him that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense covers both the Ethereal and Material Planes. Once per day the ghost may extend this up to 100 miles to search for a particular undead, provided he has heard a story or tale about the creature.

Incorporeal Movement:

The ghost can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Innate Spellcasting:

The fossor's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components::

At will: Bless, Calm Emotions, Detect Evil and Good, Gentle Repose, Guidance, Lesser Restoration, Protection from Good and Evil, Spare the Dying, Speak With Dead

1/day each: Geas, Greater Restoration, Hallow* Remove Curse

*When Carvilius finishes casting Hallow he is destroyed and returns to his crypt.

Tireless Servant:

Whenever Carvilius is destroyed he returns to unlife within his crypt exactly one year later at full hit points. The fosser can only be permanently destroyed if a caster uses Hallow to profane his crypt.

Cuirassier Mimic

Hand-crafted by an aberrant soul, the first mimic of this breed was given to the creature's loyal bodyguard to provide both protection... and a second bodyguard as it were. The monstrosity performed exceptionally well, especially when heroes slew the fellow wearing it and the mimic kept the bottom fighting. Thus the cuirassier mimic was passed to the next right-hand-mook, and so on as its bearers passed. This lead to a legend of an immortal servant when in truth, it was just the armor all along. Eventually, its creator was killed, the mimic 'looted', and its spore spread across the realm.

Entry Mimic

This particular strain of mimics was carefully cultivated into being by a drow matron sick of uninvited guests - both of the adventurer and political rival variety. Resistant to pesky bypassing magic and capable of alerting a building's occupants (and other mimics) of interlopers, entry mimics became all the rage... well, until they started eating honored guests and the occasional house pet. The matron quickly lost favor and stepped through one door never to return... as it were.

Soot Foot

Prior to Death claiming the Kingdom, the zombie dubbed Soot Foot was just another of the faceless masses. While he was a chimney sweep of notable skill, no one noted the ash-smeared lad. Surely, he could have made some money it a sideshow with his double-jointed talents but he preferred the quiet life. He perished in the middle of a job, his already pliant joints tearing into compound fractures as he scrambled to find the flesh of the living. The toxins soaked into his rotting skin give him a unique virality that leaves fiery undead in his weak and he never leaves the cinder of his chimney lairs far behind. -Records of the Charnel House Soot Foot Medium undead (zombie), chaotic evil Armor Class 8 Hit Points 45 (6d8 + 18) Speed 20ft Climb 20ft Str 16 Dex 6 Con 16 Int 3 Wis 8 Cha 5 Skills Stealth +2 Damage Resistances fire Condition Immunities exhaustion, poisoned
