Pg. 225: The Headless Lord. His "Create Spawn" special ability states that he creates fast zombies, but the four hill giant zombies on the next page appear to be normal zombies. Are they intended to be fast?
A couple of general questions about stat blocks: with spell casters and their "before combat" descriptions, do their stat blocks include those spell effects in their stats, or should we assume that the spells are not included unless specifically told that they ARE included?
For those creatures that fight with two weapons (The Headless Lord, Lucretia, etc), do the stats include the penalties for two-weapon fighting, or is that something we'll need to add if the situation warrants it?
Thanks!

The hill giant zombies should be fast zombies.
For all "before combat" spells, we've incorporated the effects into the stat block for you; the assumption being that unless something REALLY WEIRD happens, the PCs won't be encountering the guy without those "before combat" spells in place.
Likewise, creatures that fight with two weapons have their dual weapon penalties pre-figured in. If they make a single attack, you'll want to add the appropriate bonus to their attack roll.

Page 295 - Highlady Athroxis: Does the Mark of Wrath transfer to someone else if she dies by casting fireball on herself as described in her morale section?
No... if she suicides, the mark does not transfer to anyone—it stays on her corpse. That said, chances are pretty good that she'll not get a chance to do her fireball stunt since the PCs outnumber her actions...
