TACTICS

During Combat The Headless Lord orders its four hill giant zombies to attack as soon as foes enter this room, or if it sees someone outside preparing to use ranged attacks. The Headless Lord casts fear on the PCs once it can catch at least three of them in the area of effect. It summons nine fast zombies to help flank foes, block charges, or provide cover, keeping as many as it can within its aura of desecration.

Morale The Headless Lord fights until destroyed.
