The Dearg Due is an Irish revenant who rises from a neglected grave to take blood and punish the world that confined her in life. She is pale, red-lipped, and able to pass as living until hunger sharpens every feature. Her grievance may be justified, but the feeding no longer distinguishes accomplice from stranger. Stones piled upon the grave can delay her; truth about the death can end the cycle.
Special Attack
Red Kiss: necrotic, melee 5 ft, +4 to hit, 2d6+3. A held, sleeping, or willing target suffers twice the rolled damage, and the Dearg Due recovers that amount.
Special Defense
Stones on the Grave: placing heavy stones over her burial site prevents her return for one year. Naming the people responsible for her death and exposing their acts removes her DR.
