              Tries to keep using fresh corpses to keep the smell down.

[Independant Agent] - Another nemissary that serves as a personally loyal independant agent.  Used in cases where 
                      Resplendant Web doesn't want to bother personally, but requires a little more personal touch.
                      This one commands the last 2 ghosts in the retinue.

Agent 2 - Ghost agent 2!  He's also a war ghost.

Comments/Notes

Ok, I liked lightning torment hatchets, but are they really worth 5 artifact dots? I mean, really. Can we work out an abyssal version, made from soulsteel and causes pain rather than electrical discharge for the penalties. -- ReallyBored

I think we can probably find something to take the place of lightning troment hatchets. Maybe, instead of lightning, barbed tentacles of dark essence enwrap and stab at the target. Or something and stuff. -- RyanL

Yeah, something like that. Still looking for hearthstones, though the Ghost Lantern and Blood Miser from the hearthstones page here look interesting. Just wish I could turn the Ghost Lantern on and off. -- ReallyBored

Hmmm, which book is the Ghost Lantern located in? -- RyanL

It's, err, here...as in on the wiki: AbyssalLevelOne, Blood miser is at BloodHearthstones. --ReallyBored

I really should learn to read better. ;) I don't see why the Ghost Lantern can't be turned on and off. It's a homebrew hearthstone so a minor change like that shouldn't make it totally out of whack. -- RyanL
