The Cursed are men twisted by some curse, and their skin is an unusual colour. They fight with whatever weapon they carry and are about as tough as a brigand.

Overview

• In-game name: a random male name with the title the Cursed
• Corpse: an inhuman corpse
• Looks: a man with an unusual skin colour, in a plain shirt and short pants, holding a random weapon.
• Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
• Notoriety: it always shows as a murderer (red), so anyone can attack it freely.
• Weapon: a random weapon that can't be moved, so it never drops as loot.

It has 60–82.5 Poisoning, but it has no poison attack and no poisoned weapon, so the skill does nothing.

Loot

Every cursed man carries:

• Gold: about 30–75 in total (from its "Meager" loot)

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 2 chances, from about 1% down to 0.2% each)
• A musical instrument (about 0.1% or less)

Carving

There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

Tips

• It's a fair fight for a new warrior: about 90–120 hit points and 5–13 damage.
• Its weapon can't be looted.
• It always shows as a murderer.
