i am a fairly new DM of only half a year now still running my very first 4 module long campaign, i have strung together lost mines of phandelver, lost laboratory of kwelish, horde of the dragon queen and rise of tiamat, for a little bit of context my players have just finished LMOP and are slowly working there way to begin LLOK, things are going great so far and only reason why its taking everyone so long to go from module to module is i have been adding custom events to flesh out each characters backstory and there eventual end goals which my players are loving so far, but one of my players got bored of playing there monk and wanted to switch characters which i was all for because this player has never played DnD before and thus unfortunately didnt have much of a backstory for me to work with or play around with, so now she rolled up a wizard necromancer and this time has a much better backstory, one i still need to work into the story on the whole BUT i have been playing around with custom events for this player to help them with there end goal, they wish to be the soul creator of the fabled necronomicon and if possible ascend as a god of death starting with a bleak outlook on the world only to eventually see the beauty in life. So to help her get to her end goal i have a whole encounter in mind where they enter a city plagued by a serial killer who attacks women and uses there body parts to construct a new body for his dead wife to hopefully revive her, im thinking of a crazy killer who uses meat cleavers and these cleavers are sentient cursed weapons who are compelling him to commit these murders in promise to use its evil powers to bring his dead wife back to him, so basically a warlock scenario, once they deal with this crazed killer in his lair my necromancer player will stumble on his tome of flesh golems to add to her undead research and knowledge. now im trying to create this whole fight once the players find this mass murderer, any ideas on a monster that might already exist that fits the theme of crazy butcher wielding warlock that owns his own meat shop as cover? or maybe any ideas on a homebrew monster? thanks guys
honestly i havent really thought of when or where yet to set this encounter yet and i am planning on adding some flesh golems to the fight already honestly lol but i need the ring leader, the man who is controlled by a cursed cleaver that is controlling them lol

If you just finished LMOP your group is probably around level 5. Two Flesh Golems should be a challenge and thematically fitting. :-)
Edit: as minions of the butcher, obviously. The butcher could be a Necromancer, or maybe a Master of Souls or a Death's Head of Bhaal
honestly i havent really thought of when or where yet to set this encounter yet and i am planning on adding some flesh golems to the fight already honestly lol but i need the ring leader, the man who is controlled by a cursed cleaver that is controlling them lol
See my edit. :-)
with some minor tweaks to the Death's Head of Bhaal i think thats exactly what im looking for lol thank you very much
