When you find out your Master’s plans for you, her dear apprentice.

When you find out what Darth Thanaton, actual Dark Council Member, has planned out your demise.

When the Dark Council wants to know who has been spending the monthly budget on cool looking datacrons.

When you find out that, somehow, Vitiate has returned.

[Castle Xyntillan features “reapers”, 4 HD undead that target a single PC and duplicate if any other party member tries to intervene. They seem inspired primarily by the Skull card from the Deck of Many Things. I like the idea of them multiplying, but that seems rather too nasty for a low level enemy in PFRPG, where making a character is an investment and PC death is relatively rare. The overall vibe I am going for with these guys is the version of Death seen in the Terry Gilliam movie Baron Munchausen. ]

Thanaton CR 4 CE Undead This creature looks like a skeletal angel, its massive wings covered in patchy black feathers. It clutches a scythe in its hands.

Thanatons, sometimes called “minor reapers”, are undead creatures that play at being Death. They are not affiliated with the psychopomps, but enjoy mimicking and mocking them, killing mortal creatures and feeding on their souls to disrupt the natural order of things. Daemons, asuras and qlippoth delight in their antics, as they send ripples through the River of Souls. Unsurprisingly, psychopomps hunt them down at every possible opportunity.

A thanaton is fond of drama, and will often make imposing entrances and attempt to intimidate creatures before attacking. They can create illusions, which they often use to corner their prey or fool them into thinking that they have summoned reinforcements. Creatures struck by their scythes are paralyzed, and then subject to a quick coup de grace if the thanaton has the opportunity. A thanaton can disguise themselves as a living creature, and may use this ability to masquerade as a doctor, cleric or other trusted figure in order to get close enough to strike.

It’s possible, but the Dark Council chamber IS pretty big, and there’s plenty of space even when Illi is lighting herself up like a Christmas tree:

Honestly, given how the Sith are, they probably made it that way specifically so Sith could duel without accidentally maiming bystanders/witnesses.

The real victim was whoever had to clean the floor: Illi toasting Thanaton probably toasted the floor as well, and my headcanon is that during this part, she’s crushing his insides with the Force:
