FailureThe cries of the bloodthirsty crowd overwhelm the creature. The creature is confused for 1 minute but can attempt a new save at the end of each of their turns to end the confusion.
Critical FailureThe creature is confused for 1 minute or until the haunt is disabled, with no save to end early.
Routine (1 action) Tendrils of sand rise from the floor. Up to two creatures in the room must attempt a DC 38 Reflex save. On a failed save, the tendrils wrap around the creature and move it to an unoccupied square closest to the center of the arena. If the creature was Flying, the tendril also pulls it to the ground. On a critical failure, the creature is also knocked prone. The tendrils then collapse back into the floor.
