Ranchefus's appearance is important. The man is 5' 9", dark-haired, with a swarthy complexion. His right eye is missing, and the socket is covered with a black leather eyepatch. Because he is hooded, and the light is poor, a PC will only see the eyepatch if he or she makes an Intelligence check at -2, with an additional-l modifier for every 10 feet away beyond the first 10 feet; the eyepalch cannot be seen further than 30 feet away. A /igM spel1 cast at the priest shows this feature clearly, however.

Ranchefus has a ring offree actiOIl and potions o.f flying and polymorph self, and he wears a magical amulet which doubles the number of skeletons and zombies he can animate (this item only works for evil clerics; destroying it gains the PCs 500 XP). For his appearance, see "'Lured Into Darkne!;s." Ranchefus will always use I,o/d person as his first offensive spell, casting it at any PC wizard he can sec. He anticipates, from low-level PCs, that such a wizard will cast magic missile against him, and he wants to take the wizard out first. He would also like to capture such a PC alive, of course. A PC priest with hold perSOIl holds no terrors for him, due to the protection of hi!'i rillg offree action. If his zombies are doing well, he spends one round casting aid on himself, then curse on the party, and possibly dlJrklltss. Then, delaying no longer, he eagerly enters the fray with his formidable nail. If a PC priest turns the Lombies, Ranchefus attempts to counter-command them back into battlc.
