Whirling Blade ReactionReaction Trigger Three or more creatures enter the area of the haunt; Effect sharp fragments lift up from the ground and begin to spin in rapid circles taking up one 5-foot square. The haunt rolls initiative.
Routine (3 actions) The tornado of blades uses 3 actions to move, traveling up to 30 feet with each action and dealing 2d10+10 slashing damage. Each creature in its path must attempt a DC 33 Reflex save.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature takes half damage.
Failure The creature takes full damage plus 1d10 persistent bleed damage.
Critical Failure The creature takes double damage and 1d10 persistent bleed damage. It also becomes wounded 1 (or increases its wounded value by 1, if it is already wounded).

Each successful check to disable this hazard reduces the haunt’s movement by 30 feet, and the fourth success disables it completely.
Reset The haunt draws jagged shards back into its area over the course of an hour, after which it can trigger again.
