Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luinnar" data-source="post: 5665903" data-attributes="member: 44459">[sblock=Andras/Brenn]From far above you can hear the voice of Sir ExSixTen. Though it is less loud than usual it is still audible. "CITIZENS, IF THE HORRIBLE ACID IS DISSOLVING YOUR  BONES AND YOU ARE DYING HORRIBLY, TUG ON THE ROPE SO I CAN PULL IT IN.  NO NEED TO WASTE GOOD ROPE."[/sblock]As the rest of the group waits for Brenn or Andras to appear out of the pit, you notice the mists start to move. It is swirling about in one area and starting to form something. Soon familiar shapes appear, but unlike their counterparts they are made up of blue shimmering ghost-like mists. They glow so brightly that they can be seen through the fog.Sir ExSixTen! The ghostly Brenn whispers in a rasping voice. You have failed us! You have let us perish under your charge! Your constant un-perceptiveness has been our undoing. Now we lived a cursed life, forsaken to wander these lands for all eternity thanks to your foolishness! We shall drag you into the underworld to keep us company in our fate!Dorn! the ghost of Andras says pointing. Your magical powers were our undoing! If you had the skill to disarm the runes, I would not have fell unto my death! But now I wander the world, looking for relief to my constant suffering! Soon you shall join us and live the half-life we live now!Jax! the ghost of Brenn whispers turning to the Kobold. Your cowardliness and greed has been our death! If you had not taken this foolish quest for material gain, we would not have died! Join us in our  fate, and you shall know the true meaning of want!Quagmire! the spectral Andras whispers. Your fate was sealed once you joined our group, for we were cursed once we first entered the demi-plane! You shall not see your parents after death, but forever seek them in wandering!Join us! both whisper advancing on the party. You all have lead us to our fate, so you shall share it with us![GM]One thing notable about the Ravenloft campaign setting is the horror checks. The party last encountered this (in a way) in the fight against the zombie lord at the end of the last adventure (remember the horrified condition?)Now you get to live that piece of D&D history again! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The ghostly specters of your fellow comrades have striked fear into each and every one of you. Jax, Dorn, Sir ExSixTen and Quagmire must make a will check (with a bonus to the d20 roll equal to your will defense -10) DC 18. If you fail, you are so terrified that you are forced to run in terror away from the ghosts. You also suffer a -2 to all d20 rolls until further notice. There are only three places to run (as you have to get away from the ghosts):1. Jump into the pit (not recommended) 2. Climb down the rope, this will require an athletics check as you will be climbing as fast as possible to escape.3. Run further into the cavern ahead.If you succeed you may take any actions as normal. Combat is not starting now, but you may still make attack actions/[/GM]</blockquote>
