Description The spectral figure of a handsome, well-dressed man flees down the stairs, clutching a wound in his side with one hand and making a shoving motion with the other. His shout drives creatures back.
Disable DC 30 Occultism or Religion (expert) to drain away the haunt's spiritual energy. This check can be attempted only from the top of the stairs behind the secret door.
Defensive Shove [reaction] (divine, evocation) Trigger The secret door to the basement stairs opens; Effect The spectral figure's shout shoves every creature in the room away from the east wall. Creatures in the drawing room or the adjacent foyer must attempt a DC 28 Fortitude save. The haunt then rolls initiative.

Critical Success The creature isn't moved.
Success The creature is pushed back 10 feet. If this movement would push it into a wall, it takes bludgeoning damage equal to the number of feet it was moved.
Failure As success, but 20 feet and the creature is knocked prone.
Critical Failure As success, but 20 feet, and the creature is knocked prone and slowed 2.
Routine (1 action) (divine, evocation, incapacitation, sonic) The spectral figure shouts, dealing 4d10 sonic damage to all creatures within 60 feet of the secret door (DC 28 basic Will save). A creature that fails its save is also paralyzed for 1 round.
Reset The haunt ends as soon as there are no creatures within 60 feet. It resets when the secret door is closed.
