The Drowned Magistrate
Large undead, lawful evil
The Assize was hearing a case about the lantern levy when the marsh came in, and the magistrate has not risen. He has swollen to nearly twice the height he was and is still, by his own reckoning, in session — the water is a formality, the clerks are present, and anyone who enters the chamber has thereby entered an appearance.
