Barrow Pulse. The runelord is the source of the linked Barrow Pulse hazard after emerging. The pulse occurs on the hazard’s initiative and does not consume the runelord’s actions. It damages and pushes exposed creatures, while exposed inert Hryngar Retainers regain 10 HP and reactivate. Solid columns block the pulse.

Reanimated Master

The runelord is a significant undead creature. At 0 HP it is destroyed, ending Barrow Pulse immediately. It does not use dying rules.

Changes from the source creature: Hammerfall and Light Blindness are removed; Mending is replaced by Dispel Magic; the creature is undead with void healing; Barrow Pulse is handled by its separate hazard entry.

See the Grand Mausoleum encounter, Barrow Pulse, and the Hryngar Retainer.
