Hamun Khost

Hamun Khost is a mage, whom the party found when investigating tales of the Undead at Old Owl Well.

Khost had a camp set up near some ruins, situated near a well, and was using his necromancer abilities to use Undead to dig. Khost claimed to have a permit to prospect at the well, later found to have been granted by the Phandalin townmaster Harbin Wester.

Having been interrupted, Khost then appeared as a black-scaled Dragonborn, before ultimately fleeing to the north having come "so close" with his digging expedition.

At the Well, Khost had also taken Frederick Pentecost prisoner in order to 'fulfil' a yet unknown 'purpose'.
