Lullaby and Good Night [reaction] (auditory, incapacitation, mental, occult, sleep) Trigger At least two living creatures enter the room; Effect The sounds of a soothing lullaby fill the air. All living creatures in the room must attempt a DC 22 Will save. The haunt then rolls initiative.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature gets slightly drowsy, taking a –1 status penalty to Perception checks for 1 round.
Failure The creature briefly nods off. They are slowed 1 and can't use reactions for 1 round after that.
Critical Failure As failure, but slowed 2.
Routine (1 action; darkness, occult) The haunt randomly chooses 1 living creature that it hadn't engulfed in darkness the previous round. Supernatural darkness wells over that creature, who must attempt a DC 18 Will save. On a failure, that creature is engulfed in a 5-foot emanation of darkness centered on them and is blinded for 1 round. Any creatures in the emanation must attempt their own Will save or become blinded as well. Any non-magical light sources and magical light of 1st rank or lower the primary creature is holding or wearing cease to give off light for that duration.
Reset The haunt deactivates 1 minute after all living creatures leave the room but resets immediately thereafter. If disabled, the haunt resets after 1 day. The haunt is permanently destroyed when the attic whisperer here is destroyed.
