[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 4492157, member: 21215"] 15) Deadwater In a remote locale, the group comes across a beautiful spring-fed pool amidst crumbling rocks and renewed nature. Animals will refuse to approach the pool, and familiars and magical creatures will feel skittish while in proximity to it. Those with natural lore will be able to determine that the water is perfectly safe to drink. Perceptive members of the group will be the first to notice something wrong with the reflections in the pool. Thinking, sentient beings (Int 3 or equivalent in a system of choice) cast no reflection. Unless they have died and been brought back by some means. Such beings always show their true, original form (in the case of the reincarnated) as a reflection. Returned individuals who drink from the pool always feel refreshed and without fatigue. Returned individuals who swim in the pool see a vision of something they desire. Those who have not returned from death who drink the water note that it has a strange coppery taste, and see a vague but gruesome image of their own death, leaving them shaken until the next dawn. If an individual who has not returned from death attempts to wade or swim in the pool, they are forcibly dragged under the waters by an unseen force, and then released moments before drowning. They are likewise shaken by the experience until the next dawn. Should the group leave the area for more than a day, and return at some point, they will find the pool gone, replaced by fire blackened earth. [/QUOTE]
