I am running a lich and decided that they should have some way to keep an eye on the PCs so I thought the lich should then have an undead follow them and cause them trouble when they can at first I thought a will-o'-wisp. Then I remembered a wraith can make 7 more undead keep an eye on the party or quickly kill a weaken character. So which one should I chose and what can I exploit or use for traps with that choice.
What level is the party? What is its makeup? Is the Lich their current big bad in the arching story, or is this a scenic detour between acts in that story? Narratively, are you prepared for the party to destroy or manipulate this undead servant? What exactly are you intending the servant to do for the Lich?
7 level 7 pcs. The party consists of a fighter, Rouge, wizard, sorcerer, Ranger, monk and cleric. The lich is the 7th boss and this is the third main dungeon. The spirit is a familiar so neither should happen it was his familiar in life an both care for each other and the spirit would be his eyes and second in command and with some specters or a flesh golem they collect his soul needs.
Your choice for the spirit is?
