Amazul the Reawoken

Some men are not content to live the life they are given. True lichdom was beyond his grasp, so he created a death cult while he grew in power. Seeking a shortcut, Amazul trapped an Efeeti, wishing for external life. In a cruel way, undeath fulfills the wish. Now transformed into a skeletal form, Amazul must constantly drain the life of others to sustain themself.

Dark Devotion. Amazul has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Spellcasting. Amazul is a 6th-level spellcaster. Its spell casting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 12, +4 to hit with spell attacks). Amazul has the following cleric spells prepared:

Cantrips (at will): light, sacred flame, thaumaturgy
1st level (4 slots): command, inflict wounds, shield of faith
2nd level (3 slots): hold person, silence, spiritual weapon
3rd level (3 slots): animate dead, bestow curse, spirit guardians

Zombie Leather. The wearer takes 1d4 (2) poison damage at the start of each of their turns. As a bonus action, the leather can flare wide, granting the wearer a 30 ft fly speed. While this is active, the armour provides no protection, and Amazul’s AC drops to 12. The wearer can end this flight as a bonus action, regaining the protection of the armour.

Actions

Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage.

Consume Cultists. Amazul drains the life from any cultists within 5ft, gaining hit points equal to the cultists' remaining hit points and killing the cultists.
