“Just think of the possibilities once you have a fresh, high-quality, completely safe zombie at your disposal.„
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Cordrane can be encountered in the necromancy area with 
Alice Althea, attempting to sell her some necromantic charms to summon a fresh, "completely safe" zombie to perform various menial chores. Upon approaching him the first time, he casts 
Animate Dead: Zombie on a nearby corpse as a demonstration. He claims that the summoned 
Zombie also makes a low-cost bodyguard and is great at food disposal and cleaning.

Idle banter[edit | edit source]
- Cordrane the Recent
- I can tell you're a discerning customer - you're after nothing but the best.
- Cordrane the Recent
- And luckily for you, that's exactly what I have - the best necromantic charms in the city or your money back!
- Cordrane the Recent
- Just think of the possibilities once you have a fresh, high-quality, completely safe zombie at your disposal.
- Alice Althea
- Gods, but it stinks! And it looks like somebody melted most of its flesh off.
- Alice Althea
- I'd be a laughing stock with that lumbering 'round after me.
- Cordrane the Recent
- Now, now - you and I both know that being undead takes a toll on a corpse.
- Cordrane the Recent
- We also do a range of fetching liveries and complimentary perfume spritzers - all seasonal, of course.
- Alice Althea
- Complimentary, you say?
- Alice Althea
- So what can it do? I've a lot of domestic tasks that are quite frankly beneath me.
- Cordrane the Recent
- Oh. they excel at all those humdrum menial chores.
- Cordrane the Recent
- They're particularly good at cleaning - especially food disposal.
- Cordrane the Recent
- They'll happily eat anything you put in front of them.
- Alice Althea
- It is rather a pain to clean up after dinner parties...
- Cordrane the Recent
- Word of warning, mind: make sure you empty them frequently.
- Cordrane the Recent
- Otherwise you might have a gut explosion on your hands.
- Cordrane the Recent
- ...And everywhere else, really.
- Alice Althea
- Empty them? How? Oh. You know what - I'm not sure I want to know.
- Cordrane the Recent
- They also make excellent low-cost bodyguards - and you can't be too careful with the way things are going.
- Alice Althea
- It looks a little fragile to me...
- Cordrane the Recent
- Nonsense! They're tougher than they look. Plus, even if they lose a limb, they keep on going.
- Cordrane the Recent
- I sold one to a wonderful old gent for property protection.
- Cordrane the Recent
- A trespasser chopped its arms off but it still chewed right through their ankles.
- Cordrane the Recent
- They won't be trespassing anywhere else in a hurry! Or walking at all, for that matter.
- Alice Althea
- I see...
- Cordrane the Recent
- One more thing: I recommend getting at least a couple of scrolls of Turn Undead just in case.
- Alice Althea
- Just in case what?
- Cordrane the Recent
- Just in case you happen to lose control of your shiny new servant.
- Alice Althea
- Oh. Does that happen very often?
- Cordrane the Recent
- Not very. But it might.
- Cordrane the Recent
- It's very much a case of summoner error when it does - not our spellwork.
- Cordrane the Recent
- Tell you what, I'll throw one in for free with your purchase - limited time offer.
- Alice Althea
- I... I'll think about it.
