Apostate Destroyer

Apostate Destroyers are reanimated skeletons that serve  Balthazar in the Shadowfell during Act Two.

Involvement

Act Two

If Balthazar has not been defeated yet, the party encounters him as they enter the Shadowfell via the Gauntlet of Shar. Once the party reaches the Nightsong, it is revealed the Nightsong is a person. If the party refuses to let Balthazar take Nightsong away, Balthazar raises a number of Apostate  Defenders, Destroyers,  Librarians and  Sentinels from the various piles of bones surrounding the Nightsong and then attacks the party.
