Writing my session, I figure that having an advanced adventurer at the end of the path would be best for my level 2 party. However, this NPC has been dead for the greater part of 200 years, but has had his body magically preserved. Is there something that would be able to, not just reanimate the body, but take total control, speaking and acting through them? Like a ghost, but the body they are possessing is already dead.
