Subscribed some mod-dependent stuff to SessionLoaded to give this mod more freedom to be moved around in load order.
Version 1.01.09
Anna is angy. [Removed neutral disposition left over from vendor testing.]
Version 1.01.08
Both Anna the Potion Seller and the Gilded Skeleton have received custom tricked-out digs. Anna's portrait was updated to match. Gilded's is fine as is.

Version 1.00.01

Valkrana's Undead Encounters When Valkrana, the multiverse's most awkward necromancer, dropped by your corner of Realmspace, she left some skeletons behind... as a treat. Adds undead encounters scattered across all acts.
The goal of this mod is to supplement existing encounters—vanilla or modded—while avoiding inundating the player with undeath. Includes custom mobs and fully-developed bosses that drop new weapons and other magical items.
Act 1 — Anna the Potion Seller boss encounter, two new combat encounters, and one friendly encounter. Act 2 — Yara the Planar Bladesinger boss encounter, and one friendly encounter. Act 3 — Gilded Skeleton boss encounter, two new combat encounters, and three friendly encounters.
Not all combat encounters are created equal. A couple only appear in the place of certain defeated humanoid encounters. Digging up certain dirt mounds results in the rare friendly encounter: a permanent skeletal follower.
And now an ad break for a mod that works well with this one.
Absolute Wrath 2.0: Undead Rising Collaboration! As both an infomonger and Ilyana's security detail, Valkrana rates intel the most valuable commodity. What better way to control it than to dominate the minds of those around you? Enter Absolute Wrath 2.0: Undead Rising. For the uninitiated, the Absolute Wrath mod reanimates your combat experience through intelligent application of its nearly 2000 affixes. Essentially, enemies receive semi-random enhancements based on characteristics like class, race, and other traits.
You may have already encountered the advanced skeleton archetypes released in Valkrana's Skeleton Crew 1.09. Well, these were preparations made for a thrilling new collaboration with Grimpreacher. In Undead Rising, Absolute Wrath adds a horde of new affixes that focus on livening up the creature types you'll see in Valkrana's Skeletal Challenge and Undead Encounters. Some of which have even been inspired in part by Valkrana's nature, tactics, or history! Bones alive! So whether you've accepted the Skeletal Challenge or simply wish to breathe new undeath into the Shadow-Cursed Lands, do yourself a favor and grab this latest update to AW.
Back to your regularly-scheduled program.
Requirements Requires Script Extender, and Valkrana's Skeleton Crew as a library. If you don't want VSCrew functionality, use the Feat version of that mod. The Gilded Skeleton boss's Limited Edition Bone item includes a spell from Valkrana's Spellbook. The other features of that item will work fine without VS, but that spell won't be functional.
Encounter List Detailed in the Encounters article to avoid spoilers on the main mod page.
Compatibility Additional Enemies Extended — made while referencing maps to avoid conflicts. Should be compatible as far as I know. Trials of Tav v1.6.1 or higher — Undead Encounters bosses added to spawn pools.

Notes
Mobs don't award XP. If you want them to yield XP, download the optional XP Enabled mod when you grab Valkrana's Skeleton Crew.
Should be safe to add to existing saves.
