Three bodies hang outside this building, suspended by nooses. The corpses clamour and flail occasionally, and will lunge toward people who enter, but one who stays on the flagstone path up to the door will be out of reach of all of them.
Inside, an entire wall is dedicated to morgue drawers, and the climate within feels not unlike a walk-in freezer, thanks to an enchantment laid upon the house by its sea hag owner, Olive Stillwater. On an opposite wall, shelves are lined with jars preserving everything from insects, to toads, to brains of various creatures, to spare body parts.
She sells zombies, which she insists are excellent for finding traps. A single zombie can be purchased in one of three ways:
- Payment of 50 gp.
- Trading three intact humanoid corpses.
- A lock of hair and a bit of blood from the buyer, offering to use her rusty iron shears to acquire them. What, exactly, she does with these offerings is unclear.
Some think she sells them to the Mad Mage of the Undermountain. Others think she consumes them in a foul ritual that sustains her magic. Others still believe she, personally, uses them to scry on the locals.
If a zombie is purchased, she cuts one down from the nooses outside, leaving the rope around its neck. Anyone who holds the rope can give a command to the zombies, but it must be three words or fewer. Absent of commands, the zombie simply repeats whatever it was last told to do, or stands still and looks ponderous.
