Mortuary Encounters (Levels 11—16)

d10	Encounter
1	Factol Skall* drifts through the Mortuary toward his orrery (detailed later in this supplement).
2	Two guardian nagas slither up to the party. The nagas are collecting stories about those who have passed.
3	A death tyrant, eager to build its undead army, lingers outside a derelict crypt. The monster accosts any non-Undead it encounters.
4	An arcanaloth testator informs the characters they much each present a copy of their last will and testament to continue their exploration. If a character doesn't have a will, the testator offers to write one for them on the spot in exchange for 10 gp each.
5	A githyanki knight and four pallbearers (githyanki warriors) march toward a portal to the Astral Plane to honor a fallen comrade. The githyanki attack characters who interrupt their solemn procession but accept any who share the load as one of their own.
6	A sarcophagus-like animated coffin* conveys a haughty mummy lord to its tomb. Two mummies walk alongside the coffin. The mummy lord demands that passersby acknowledge its rule with a bow; the mummies attack all who refuse.
7	A cadaver collector† emerges from a portal to Acheron, dragging a cart of corpses behind it.
8	A deathlock mastermind† leads four deathlocks† in an unholy ritual dedicated to the powers of death. To complete the ritual, the deathlocks require a living sacrifice—one of the characters would be perfect.
9	Four minotaur skeletons carry a palanquin of bones supporting a hostile skull lord.†
10	A narzugon† astride a nightmare patrols a stretch of catacombs as part of an archdevil's errand. The narzugon attacks any non-Undead, eager to add their souls to archdevil's growing collection.
