Tactics

• Undead servants main tactic is to Frighten creatures with Dreadful Glare, which allows them to use their multiattack.
• They are weak to fire damage, so spells such as  Fireball can be useful. However if encountered in the Ancient Lair using spells will deal damage to the caster, so it may be better to use items such as Alchemist's Fire or Arrow of Fire, or cantrips such as  Fire Bolt.
