Encounter 5: The Wight Messenger (Death King's Grotto, MMotRS)
When the Heroes arrive at the final chamber, they find a Wight waiting for them. There are corpses equal to 1 per 2 Heroes that have had Specters raised from them. If the Wight identifies that it is likely to be defeated, it sends a message to Kraevis that people have found the chamber looking for the artifact and survived. When the Heroes investigate after the battle, they learn that the artifact has been removed, but information that can help them find where it was taken can be found where it was originally sequestered.
The first time this dies, reset to 1 HP instead (excluding minions).
