Description Tieflings are humans with demonic, devilish, or other evil outsider blood in their ancestry. Often
persecuted for their strange appearance and unnatural mannerisms, most tieflings disguise their nature or are
forced to live on the fringes or underbelly of civilized society. Though they are not born evil, it is an easy path for
them to find, especially as most suffer at the hands of “normal” folks while growing up. Tieflings look mostly
human except for some physical traits that reveal their strange heritage.

damage and 1d3 Con damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Manic (Ex) Whenever Pidgit sees a bladed weapon, he becomes sickened with delight. If someone directly
confronts Pidgit with a bladed weapon as a standard action (not merely using the weapon to attack), Pidgit must
make a DC 14 Will save to resist becoming fascinated by the blade for 1d6 rounds. Full details on manias (and
other forms of insanity) can be found on pages 250-251 of the Pathfinder RPG GameMastery Guide.
Description Natural wererats tend to be short and wiry, with constantly darting eyes and frequent nervous
twitches. Males often have thin, ragged moustaches.
Wererats prefer cities where they can blend in with the humanoid and rat population. Their abilities make them
especially good at thieving and spying, and in many cities the thieves' guild employs numerous wererat members.

Erin Habe
Tactics If Erin panics, he tries to flee to area A3 or area A10, whichever is farther from the PCs, and barricades
himself in the room. If he has a chance, he'll open the doors to areas A11 and A13, or pound on the door leading
downstairs from area A4 to bring more dangerous foes than him to the fight.
Morale If brought below 10 hit points or cornered, Erin drops to his knees and begs for mercy. He blames his
sinister experimentation on Caizarlu, saying the necromancer forced him to take part in several experiments and
warning the PCs that Caizarlu dwells downstairs. If the PCs seek Caizarlu out, Erin takes the first chance he can
to flee – if he escapes, he heads south to Magnimar, hoping to lose himselfin the big city and, someday, repair
and rebuild his reputation.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Power Attack (Combat) You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver
checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are
making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural
weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls. This bonus to damage is halved (–50%) if
you are making an attack with an off-hand weapon or secondary natural weapon. When your base attack bonus
reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2.
You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus
damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage.
Diehard When your hit point total is below 0, but you are not dead, you automatically stabilize. You do not need
to make a Constitution check each round to avoid losing additional hit points. You may choose to act as if you
were disabled, rather than dying. You must make this decision as soon as you are reduced to negative hit points
(even if it isn't your turn). If you do not choose to act as if you were disabled, you immediately fall unconscious.
When using this feat, you are staggered. You can take a move action without further injuring yourself, but if you
perform any standard action (or any other action deemed as strenuous, including some swift actions, such as
casting a quickened spell) you take 1 point of damage after completing the act. If your negative hit points are
equal to or greater than your Constitution score, you immediately die.

Description Zombies are the animated corpses of dead creatures, forced into foul unlife via necromantic magic
like animate dead. While the most commonly encountered zombies are slow and tough, others possess a variety
of traits, allowing them to spread disease or move with increased speed.
Zombies are unthinking automatons, and can do little more than follow orders. When left unattended, zombies
tend to mill about in search of living creatures to slaughter and devour. Zombies attack until destroyed, having
no regard for their own safety.

Before Combat Caizarlu casts mage armor and mirror image before entering combat.
Tactics Caizarlu lets his zombies engage foes in melee while he hangs back to cast spells, starting with
displacement and following with his offensive spells. He uses vampiric touch whenever he drops below 20 hit
points.
Morale Caizarlu attempts to flee if reduced to fewer than 10 hit points – if flight isn't an option, he miserably
begs for his life on his hands and knees.
