1d10 Random Encounters With A Revanent or Zombie Horde Table For Your Old School Campaigns

 Its that time of year when the leaves have fallen & death comes swiftly on the suffling feet of undeath. Adventurers seldom expect them but the un dead travel swiftly. They come for the living to feed & feed well indeed. 
“From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, Tales of H.P. Lovecraft

These things lurk around the crypts & forgotten places waiting for their chance to strike down the living. Seldom is the hand that finds or keeps treasure from the undead things at the edges. 

The revanent or  zombie  hordes lay like thick locusts waiting to strike down the living. Powerful magicks & horrid practices of cults often leave energies waffling through cracks in reality. These energies often animate the dead into the mockery of life known as undeath. 
The most frightening & dangerous are those damned souls who forget that they were dead. They have the semblence of life but it seldom lasts for their baser instincts of unnatural hunger & violence take over. 

No adventurer who encounters one of these horrors should take it lightly for the energies that animate these corpses are unnatural & dangerous in the extreme.
