General Outline

• Frustrated with Master Obu's resilience, Lady Gaelica will plot to switch her influence to Rexy, using her once per day corruption effect on him during the morning after the battle. She will then attempt to pass Master Obu's remaining corruption point onto Rexy, requiring Rexy to make another save or take it on as well. Master Obu can choose to resist this attempt with his own Wisdom/Charisma saving throw, should he wish to keep it within himself.
• Once they get past the battle obstacle, the Gaiobros will be walking/flying through Cyr's Graveyard, the 1 day/2 day radius from the North Pole. This region is almost exclusively inhabited by undead. Rather than controlled undead such as zombies, skeletons or wights, this area is inhabited by ghouls, ghastly, and incorporeal spirits of those who have fallen here. Vampires occasionally inhabit here in solitude, picking off any living creatures that dare to wander in or experimenting with their magicks to feed off non-blood sources. Only the hardiest and most powerful living creatures live here, such as Frost Dragons & Frost Giants.
