So, I have my runners going into a cargo ship today. There is a free spirit that went mad and killed a good 90% of the crew on the ship. What I want to do is harass the players every now and then with animated corpses. What is the most effective way to do this in Shadowrun that you can think of? Or, better yet, what is the most creative way? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Simple and effective: Spirit with Inhabitation . . or Possession? Not sure what's needed for corpses . .
And you can't really be creative with this, since it does not work in any other way . . Only one other way is possible at all, and that one is simply not good enough to consider for use anyway. That is the animate spell. |

Shedim but the question comes do you want to harass them or murder them.

Ah, right, i forgot about the stirr-up-system . .
Basically a remote control move by wire system . . But that is not really allowed for metahuman bodies at all, neither alive nor dead . . You would open up all kinds of things you really don't wanna . . |

Watcher spirits possessing bodies, aka corpse cadavers, make for spooky but easily-blown-away zombies.

Right...I had thought about Shedim before, but I don't know if they're very tough or not. I've only read some into what a Shedim is and can actually do. Also, the reason all of this cargo ship is dead is because of a very old free spirit that's trapped inside of a magical artifact. I don't know if it could produce Shedim or not. And I had thought of the animate spell as well, but didn't think it'd do much good. |

"Zombies" in Shadowrun are Shedim, Possession, Inhabitation, or Cyberzombies. You can have a free spirit with either Inhabitation or Possession in the corpse if you don't want to use a Shedim.

If they are very low level they are pretty stupid, will avoid the more powerful spirit and still be there. Doesn't have to work for the big bad guy. |

On a ship... Cthulhu sticking his hands/tenticles in the backs of the animated corpses and using them like Jeff Dunham.

Think something that can be sprayed on a battlefield to create metahuman biodrones. Could be the latest crazy out of Aztech for the Amazonia war. |

Modified Chaotic World illusion, the PC's that fall for it are seeing zombies, really it's just the crew reacting to armed invaders on their boat
