Jon Hunter Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Ok whats peoples thought on would a Zorak Zoran, create zombie spell work on the corpse of an elf? An what would it create and would it have any special properties. My view is yes it would work, but im not sure what type of zombie id get. 1 Quote www.backtobalazar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boztakang Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I also think it would work, but there are a number of factors that I think would make it uncommon... 1. It's a shameful waste of food. Sure, any zombie could be viewed in that light, but elves are especially delicious. For the same reason, I suspect Dwarf ZZ zombies would be nearly unheard of. 2. The elfin frame is slender and agile - pretty much exactly the opposite of what makes a good zombie. 3. I suspect that an elf Zombie would dry out an get brittle relatively quickly. On the other hand, thinking about #3, they might well be delightfully flammable. A bonus that could be very attractive to any particularly pyromaniaically-inclined Death Lord. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffjerwin Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm pretty sure that the only think more appealing than eating an elf for a proper Zorak Zoranite is burning their kin alive by in-rushing elf-zombies on fire through the forest. But any other troll devotee would be rather appalled at the waste (and the fire). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Hunter Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 I just think zz's would like to animate any create associated with the life rune as it enjoys the wrongnness of it. I also found a 'woody' zombie did freak my players out, as it was just another zombie .... Quote www.backtobalazar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott-martin Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I just realized this is how you get a Gloranthan Swamp Thing or maybe in this context a Mulch Monster (if you ever wanted one in the first place). Still shambolic, more tendril than bough as the bugs swarming its innards chew through the hard parts. If anything the insect vector might be more of a specialized Gorakiki Shaman Curse than normal ZZ agenda. It works better dramatically if they are big (full trees) or plural (nasty little rot runners). For ritual purposes an even rarer version might behave like the D&D "sussurus," a mindless and vaguely vegetative creature whose endless drone soothes all more conventional undead nearby. It must make the ZZ even angrier, so people occasionally decide to make one to get under their skin. Quote singer sing me a given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius West Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Zombie elves? Sounds like a perfect waste of a delicious elf corpse unless you want them to follow you around for travel snacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Ralzakark in Dorastor? Seems quite reasonable to turn twisted Hellwood Elves into such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
