Despair (Su) All creatures within a 30-foot radius that see a mummy must make a DC 17 Will save or be paralyzed by fear for 1d4 rounds. Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by the same mummy's despair ability for 24 hours. This is a paralysis and a mind-affecting fear affect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Mummy Rot (Su) Curse and disease-slam; save Fort DC 17; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Con and 1d6 Cha; cure -. Mummy rot is both a curse and disease and can only be cured if the curse is first removed, at which point the disease can be magically removed. Even after the curse element of mummy rot is lifted, a creature suffering from it cannot recover naturally over time. Anyone casting a conjuration (healing) spell on the afflicted creature must succeed on a DC 20 caster level check, or the spell is wasted and the healing has no effect. Anyone who dies from mummy rot turns to dust and cannot be raised without a resurrection or greater magic. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Not subject to death from massive damage. Cannot be raised.
Speed 30 ft.
Melee Unarmed strike +7 melee (1d6+3 plus mummy rot)
Spells Prepared (CL 2nd)
1st-Stilled Resistance, Stilled Detect Magic (x2)
During Combat Horustep III does not enter combat himself unless forced, or unless his plans call for him to use his own powers against a foe. He is an awe-inspiring and terrible force, and mortals flee before him. With his devotion to a contemplative existence came combat techniques he had not known in his life, and they make him a very dangerous melee opponent. He gets multiple attacks, and his monk's belt allows him to use haste (1 extra action, +4 bonus to AC). As he grows in power he also compensates for his weaknesses. If he enters combat, he will confront a foe directly.
His best plans involve the use of followers, servant creatures, undead, and even innocent bystanders or enemies. He enjoys developing plans that cause his enemies to work against their own interests while appearing to work against his.

Domains: Death and Destruction (Sp) Death Touch 1/day; succeed at melee touch attack against living creature, then roll 1d6. If the total is above the target's current hit points, it dies.

Cleric Spells (Sp) Prepare 3/2+1 spells per day. All spells are prepared using Silent Spell (since he cannot talk), so he really can prepare only 2 orisons at this level.

Horustep III is the rightful pharaoh, or king, of Osirion. He approved the Osirioni invasion of lower Garundi nation of Unther following the Time of Troubles and the Untheric god-king Gilgeam's death at the hand of Tiamat. He was raised in a far-away land, where the harsh desert environment constantly made survival the first priority. A small nobility that controlled all the wealth ruled over a large population of commoners and slaves. Horustep III was the younger son of a noble and grew up with the haughty attitude of the nobility. As an adult, he began to play the political games that all the nobles engaged in, making allies and plotting against enemies. He thought he was good at the games, but about the time he turned 30, someone he thought was a close ally betrayed him. Left for dead, he was found by supporters and carried to the City of the Dead, where he was mummified. When he rose from the dead, he devoted his unlife to the dark god of the underworld and divided his time between the rituals of his god, the quiet contemplation of the monastery, and the building of a force to exert his god's will on the world around him. Now he exists to dominate the people with whom he once lived, and anyone else that his god directs him to conquer. He is ruthless and uncaring, willing to sacrifice any living beings for his causes, since he can raise them as undead after they die.
Horustep III maintains his undead force through the sacrifice of living beings to his dark god. The sacrifices renew his devotion to the deity, and bathing in their blood renews his powers. He must sacrifice someone once a month to continue to exist, even if that "someone" is one of his own followers. He never sacrifices his cohort, but the other followers are fair game if needed. They know this, and such is their maniacal devotion that they are happy to be so "chosen." His god prefers the sacrifice of powerful beings, so Horustep III benefits more from the sacrifice of the powerful than the sacrifice of the innocent. Thus, rather than sacrifice the village maiden, he would choose the mayor or the village priest. If he chooses lesser victims, he must sacrifice two for every one powerful victim to maintain his power.
