The Gorgon Witch

A hooded snakewoman is surrounded by treasure and more snakemen statues. Something wiggles and hisses under the hood.

  • The ancient witch is in control of the priestess’ body. When she sees the heroes she demands: “Who dares to lay eyes upon Neferti?! Know thy place and kneel!”.
  • Combat ensues when the heroes are hostile or don’t behave like servants.
  • Zithis is struggling against the witch's presence in her mind. Heroes can try to help with her struggle, this counts as Assess: If successful Zithis is dazed.
  • The cursed amulet can be removed with a DC 15 Might check during Last Stand freeing the priestess from the witch's influence.
