Shadows Rise [reaction] Trigger More than three living creatures end their turn in area A19 or any one creature ends their turn while standing within the empty bath; Effect Shadows seep out from the bath and swiftly coat the walls and ceiling, covering all entrances into A19 with sheets of shadow, plunging the area within into darkness. Non-magical light sources, such as a torch or lantern, do not emanate any light in the room while the haunt is active. This also suppresses magical light of rank 3 or lower. The haunt then rolls initiative.
Routine (2 actions) A shadowy figure rises up from the bath, resembling the upper torso of a demonic humanoid with glowing eyes. On its first action, the haunt sweeps its many arms through area A19, dealing 4d6 void damage on all living creatures in the area (DC 21 basic Fortitude save). On its second action, it either spawns an undead shadow from its mass, or it Sustains a currently spawned undead shadow; it can only have one shadow active at a time. This shadow has the minion trait, cannot leave area A19, and takes its two actions on the haunt’s initiative. Void damage from the haunt doesn’t heal a shadow minion.
Reset The haunt deactivates at the end of any round in which no living creature is in area A19, then resets 1 round later.
