Gasp [reaction] (enchantment, fear, mental, occult) Trigger A creature moves adjacent to the wall where the corpse is entombed; Effect The spirit gasps and wails for aid while the wall takes on the shape of its face and roils, growing tendrils. All creatures within 10 feet must succeed at a DC 18 Will save or be frightened 1 for as long as the haunt remains active. The haunt then rolls initiative.
Routine The spirit attempts to Grapple up to two creatures within 10 feet with a +14 Athletics modifier, then squeezes each creature it has grabbed, dealing 1d10+4 damage. The haunt doesn't apply a multiple attack penalty to the second attempt to Grapple.
Reset The haunt deactivates 1 minute after all creatures leave the area and resets immediately thereafter. If disabled, the haunt resets after 1 day. The haunt is permanently destroyed if the remains of the deceased are removed from the wall.
