At one time the rotting farmhand would have chosen to be left alone. Now she seeks the company of the living, if only for the short time it takes for her to kill them. Her clothes hang in tatters, waving gently in the breeze as she stumbles about on decaying legs, her putrid flesh barely adhering to her bones. In life the rotting farmhand raised fields of living things. Now her mission seems to be one of filling fields with dead things.

Hunting strategies

These slow creatures do not seem to have the mental capacity for spells and the like. They are a good target if you can withstand their weapon attacks. The most difficult aspect of hunting rotting farmhands is dealing with the more dangerous elder tree spirits and spectral woodsmen who inhabit the same area. A successful rusted pitchfork attack can inflict disease if the target has insufficient resistance.
