Name: Dark Stone of Orox
Background: Orox was a competent, if lazy, necromancer. He created the Dark Stone which bears his name as a way to convert raw materials to fresh servants with little effort on his part. On the night of a full moon, the Dark Stone of Orox animates any intact bodies within a localized area as mindless zombies. Unfortunately for the Dark Stone’s last owner, the zombies aren’t under the bearers command and he was slain by the creatures he had recently raised. Now the Dark Stone lies in a field of the walking dead, adding random passersby to its masterless armada.
Tactics: Zombies raised by the Dark Stone are mindless and, unless controlled by an outside entity, attack the nearest living creature on sight. There is no preference to who is attacked, so several people might find themselves as targets at any given time.
Skills/Equipment/Abilities:
Zombie Horde – To ensure that his power wasn’t tasked often, Orox ensured that the Dark Stone could raise as many zombies as there were bodies. There are currently two dozen zombies around where the Dark Stone of Orox is.
Zombie Defense – So that he wouldn’t have to worry about the Dark Stone becoming broken, Orox imbued his magic item so that it couldn’t be harmed until all of the zombies in its proximity had been destroyed.
Score Needed to Defeat: 50
Reward:
100xp each, for removing such an evil item from Althanas.
-or if not destroyed-
300gp for laying claim to the magic item.
-or-
Shard of the Dark Stone: A fragment of the Dark Stone of Orox which allows the wielder to turn an intact dead body into a zombie permanently under their control during a full moon. Works once.
There comes a time where somethings are too much, and then you have to go around stabbing things until they shape up. Here we come to a problem where the undead are not simply walking, but are OWNING property! Now I know what some of you may be thinking, but I can assure you, the dead have no rights, or the ability to properly suffer, hence they are clearly not people. So here I am, eying this prize with and drinking in a bit of boredom like a vampire pretends to drink chianti, and I think to myself, "why not?"
So in an attempt to make this option work, I'd like to take up the game myself. There are prizes upon that board, and thus we know there to be incentive, and if those aren't enough the recent never ending craze over how much everyone loves and fears zombies should have everyone running to write about pitchforks and torches.
So who's with me? Who wants to stab some zombies in the face! Who wants to prove dead necromancers are the best kind? Are there any takers?

As the rules state, anyone who doesn't post in seven days will terminate the thread. This means dedication the likes of which volunteers struggle to achieve. As such, the thread will NOT end in seven days, it will simply get smaller for very obvious reasons. ^_^
