Description The brewing equipment begins to shudder and shake, and thick foamy sludge starts to bubble up out of the various pipes, tuns, and barrels—sludge that contains blinking eyes, screaming mouths, and twitching fingers among its turbulent mass!

Nightmare Recrudescence [reaction] (poison) Trigger A creature attempts to use the brewing equipment, or at least one living creature spends 1 minute in the room; Effect The brewing equipment rattles to life as a hideous mash of what looks like clotted blood and body parts surges up and out of the machinery, pushing a nauseating stench into the room. All creatures in area C46 must succeed at a DC 26 Fortitude save or become sickened 1 (sickened 2 on a critical failure). The haunt then rolls initiative.
Routine (3 actions) On its initiative, the churning awfulness extrudes a long, slimy tendril of clotted blood, tangled hair, and jagged broken teeth. These long, whiplike lengths then make three vile lash Strikes on three randomly determined targets in the room. With their reach and ability to manifest from any part of the machinery, these Strikes can target any creature in the room. They only target a creature more than once if there’s not enough targets to split their attention.
Melee vile lash +20 (reach 30 feet), Damage 3d4 slashing plus flesh fermentation; no multiple attack penalty
Flesh Fermentation (poison) Saving Throw DC 26 Fortitude;
