Spellcasting. Oreioth is a 6th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). He has the following wizard spells prepared:

A lean, black-bearded young noble from Baldur’s Gate, Oreioth is more at home among the dead than the living. He styles himself the Lord of Lance Rock, surrounding himself with zombies and skeletons compelled to heed his every whim.
