The Wailing Woman is the spirit of a lover who's death came too early and the loss of her loved one through her death has kept her in the mortal realm so she could watch over her loved ones. It isn't until something precious to the memory of her loved one is stolen from her that she rises and wails for it's return and in so doing disturbs the rest of other nearby dead causing them to rise and do her bidding.

The Wailing Woman could be any woman of any race and any age; all dependent on when she died.

Because of her love she stayed behind and now she can only rest while the item that endeared her to her loved ones remains with her. If the item should be seperated or stolen from her then she rises from her eternal slumber vengful and twisted.

The Wailing Woman is usually wearing clothing of the time of her death, more recent if she recently passed away.

If approached she resembles a sad woman in mourning and can be heard talking to herself about her missing item. The only attempts to communicate with her that will draw her out is if someone inquires about the item in a kind endeavor. Any attempts to use force against her or force her to speak otherwise will result in an immediate attack.

Combat
