They say when you give the real bad dedicated undead back their whole mind bod and soul back they end up looking kind of like vampires if vampire didn’t have fangs
2000 gold and your best spell and you can just save a soul that was unjustly stolen
Start training with rescuing burrow wights once they get get a taste of gold dust they will happily wear your gold runes bands for all eternity and they will always be there for you when you cast the right spell
What they call these new burrow wights are Burrow Graves. Also known as Gravers or groves in the old mystique tongue
Thats what they do now you see when they are not fighting they will just help run funeral parlors by digging graves and things
Around those parts they are known as Burrow Groves
…
These Gravers they love to dance and gyrate for you when you provide the beer for them also, and with enough coin in their pocket they even love to gamble as well
They even wrote a poem about how thos entitys “gyre” and “gimble”
Just keep the beer flowing and they will figure out the best plan for you
And remember these were once old world burrow wights before they were gravers and as such they are still cadaverous undead predators and some have been decayed messes for 600 years or more like maybe 6000 years
Don’t go nuts doing whatever you feel like is all I ask.
…
Ok so here’s your spell scrolls and here is all your gold coins now in the form of two thousand gold worth of gold dust.
The first thing to do is hide run force them into chasing you with their sword then at 30 paces dust them.
