Synopsis:
The player encounters a pack of winged ghouls on Moonrise's upper exterior. They are disgusting undead who are eternally starving for dead and rotting flesh. Though intelligent, they can be near feral in their need to feed.
In this case, the player meets a still-intelligent one with two less-bright comrades. The leader challenges the player, saying the cult has promised them plenty of meat but they've received none. Instead, the corpses are dropped below the tower (unbeknownst to them, to be fed to the Elder Brain or used in the Necromancer's experiments)
How to trigger:
|Walk close enough to the ghouls and this will automatically trigger. If 'Main' ghoul is dead, will start a fight instead.|
