Notes: The Nekron communicates with ESP as the wizard spell and employs something resembling charm person.
Having appearance of a large snake with a humanoid upper body, the Nekron has three segment arms that end in large purple hands that allow it to manipulate objects. It has a single eye and three horns protruding from the back of its head.
Though necrotic purple, the Nekron is almost transparent, and on close inspection, what appears to be a digestive system can be vaguely identified. The Nekron is able to digest with physical contact by extruding a white slime though it must embrace its food source beneath dirt for several days to do so.The Nekron can see with Infravision ninety feet and can see even through earth sensing bodyheat of living creatures though this is limited to ten feet.
It can regenerate from its unburned remains at one hit point per day and will if burned to death simply spawn up to three offspring by breaking off its horns.
The Nekron can burrow slowly through earth (not stone) but can move quickly like a snake over the surface and even swim in water.
The Nekron wont reveal itself, prefering to remain hidden, and work through servitors.

| Esther Firestorm's Residence |
The PCs are hired by Esther's Apprentice to deliver a sealed letter to Esther Firestorm.
The Letter itself can be any other adventure hook the DM desires or the following:
Beloved Esther,
Could you send your wand of fireballs? I have found the situation in the Sewers beneath the Capital to be harder going than we expected.
Yours,
Atrey
The Situation: Vomited up by a particularly giant purple worm that invaded the surface world, this unique sentient entity was initially thought to be a previous victim of the Worm and was buried in the nearest graveyard.
The Nekron recovered from its exposure to sunlight while buried, it reached out and made contact with the mind of the gravedigger who resided in a nearby hut. The Nekron learned the Gravedigger's language although contact with the grave digger caused the man to murder a number of villagers to feed to the grave. Healed thanks to its blood and bone food source, the Nekron has learned much of the surrounding landscape.
It has expressed a need for more offspring on the part of the grave digger and he has complied by murdering all the men in the village and taking up residence with all the women in the home of the village Magicuser Esther Firestorm who succumbed to the mind control of the Nekron before the Nekron consumed her (she was a fireball tossing magicuser and the only threat).
They burned Esther's spellbook though they have no clue that the gravedigger uses to scratch hard to reach places is actually a fireball wand with six fireballs.
On arrival the Gravedigger's wives will attempt to get male PCs along for breeding purposes, and ignore female PCs. They seek offspring to feed Nekron.
Anyone asking the grave digger how he does it wont speak on it immediatly but will provide them if they depart with a jar filled with paste that should be rubbed through the hair.
