Hob the farmer - this is the man that brought the curse on this land. He deeply regrets his actions. His body is covered in coruscating negative energy as it shifts between skeletal, rotted, preserved, ghostly, and vampiric flesh. His field effect can be blocked by holding a turtle taken from the clowns between him and the party.
The curse can be lifted by gathering all five turtles and performing a divine ritual that will destroy the current generation of gods, except for Melat and Lemat, who are uninvolved in the plan to break the curse. The magic councils will fight to keep the ritual from progessing and will need to be defeated.
