Despair Is Thy RewardHazard 5
Unique Complex HauntSource The Haunted Shore pg. 24
Complexity Complex
Stealth +13 (expert)
Description The ghosts of weeping, cowardly soldiers and the sound of claws scraping on the outer walls manifest.
Disable DC 26 Intimidation (trained) to stand firm against the coming terrors and show no fear or DC 23 Religion (expert) to exorcise the haunt; two total successes are required to disable the haunt
They’re All Around Us! [reaction] Trigger A living creature ends their turn inside the watch post; Effect Ghostly human soldiers manifest in the central alcove, crying out in terror as they drop their weapons and beg for mercy. Each PC in area A3 becomes overwhelmed with the conviction that their own battle prowess will not save them from the danger rushing toward the building and must attempt a DC 22 Will save to avoid becoming frightened 2 (frightened 3 on a critical failure). The haunt then rolls initiative.
Routine (1 action) The sound of talons scratching on the outer walls of the room and glimpses of lean, shadowy shapes flapping and scrambling at the arrow slits manifest. A PC who takes an action to Seek these shapes and succeeds at a DC 21 Occultism check to Recall Knowledge recognizes the shapes as nightgaunts. Each round on its turn, these shadowy nightgaunts reach impossibly long, thin, spade-tipped tails into the room through the arrow slits or down the stove’s chimney to make a shadowy tail Strike against every creature in the room as 1 action. If the door to this area remains open, the tails have an easier time reaching inside and gain a +2 circumstance bonus on their attack rolls.
Melee shadowy tail +15 (reach 30 feet), Damage 2d8+5 spirit plus tickle (no multiple attack penalty)
Tickle A creature that takes damage from a shadowy tail is uncomfortably tickled by the slithering appendage and must attempt a DC 21 Fortitude save to avoid becoming sickened 1 (sickened 2 on a critical failure).
Reset The haunt deactivates and then resets after 1 round in which no living creatures are within the watch post.
