Neverdying. When the ghost is reduced to 0 hit points its body fades away and 2d4 days later it reappears in its last resting place at its full hit points. The vampire lord has awoken and enraged the
spirit of Hugo Weightman which attempts to kill every living thing it can, entirely consumed by a senseless urge to murder. It can only be destroyed permanently by entombing Nemirtvi once more, but once it dissipates from being reduced to 0 hit points the party finds two extremely important items within—Hugo’s withered old journal and an
amulet of the spectral grove
.
ACTIONS

Etherealness. The ghost enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. It is visible on the Material Plane while it is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet it can’t affect or be affected by anything on the other plane.
Horrifying Visage. Each non-undead creature within 60 feet and on the same plane of existence that can see the ghost makes a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw . On a failure, a creature is frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, it is immune to this ghost’s Horrifying Visage for 24 hours.

On a successful save a creature is rattled until the end of its next turn, or on a failed save it is poisoned for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
REACTIONS
