A plague blight is a corporeal undead] formed from a person killed by plague. In undeath, the plague blight becomes a disgusting and bloated mess whose sloppy flesh seeps through the clothing the entity wraps itself in. A plague blight's stink is so bad it can cause nausea and even physically weaken those nearby. The plague blight's disgusting physical state is matched by an equally disgusting mental state. That is, the plague blight only seeks to pollute, taint, and corrupt everything wholesome and healthy.[1]
Despite the potency of the plague blight's stench, it is physical contact with the creature that poses the greatest risk. A plague blight's slam attack inflicts gangrenous touch, a rotting disease so virulent it affects victims instantly, sapping away Constitution in mere seconds. Should this disease wipe out a victim, their corpse becomes an increasingly crumbly heap of filth that will in a time period of 24 hours decay into nothing unless somebody casts remove disease upon the body.[1]

"Deep in the bowels of this place is a room that is less than the arms span of a man to a side. A row of iron bars cuts it in two. The one half is occupied by a gentleman, if I can call him that, who has been there for as long as I can remember. The other hosts, from time to time, individuals such as yourself who are not as forthcoming as they might and should be. Now what is precious is that the mere touch of the confined fellow will rot an unfortunate alive in less than an hour. Keeping out of his reach is possible . . . for a time. But he is as driven and as untiring as they come. Undead is, I believe, the technical term. My grandfather claimed a woman once put off her gruesome end for a week. But all I have seen have been reduced to mouldering bone within four days. Perhaps that spry daughter of yours will surprise us. We could go take a look if you would like. I warn you though that the stench is overpowering. Or was there, after all, something that you wished to tell me?"
