Sarku

the sharp-tongued ghost who once stood at Akünh's side

Once Akünh's closest advisor. He left her when he realized her demonic origin. A gaunt, ghostly form with a long, sharp tongue that sucks the blood of his victims and stretches their tongues. The dried-up corpses hang upside down from the trees around the Death Ziggurat depression.

He wants to be set free from his earthly prison and move on to the afterlife. Knows where Akünh's heart is and that stabbing it kills her.

• Blood-sucking tongue (d4). A hit means you are grappled, resulting in automatic damage in future rounds until you break free with a DR14 Strength test.
• Ethereal. Immune to physical harm.
