[QUOTE="Will Doyle, post: 5857319, member: 6682161"] A Domovoy features in the (epic!) WFRP "Enemy Within" Campaign, during "Something Rotten In Kislev". Tasked with tracking down a villager warped into a beastman, the PCs question various Russian spirits until they have a lead. The Domovoy is the first spirit they question. I can't offer much for your present situation, but the Domovoy description from the module is pretty evocative: [B]DOMOVOY Spirit of the Hearth ("Grandfather Spark")[/B] The Domovoy (plural Domoviye) is the spirit associated with the hearth and family. He lives in the stove in households that still pay their respects, even accepting an uneasy coexistence with the shrine to Taal-Rhya found in the households that occupy the state-established cults. The primary occupation of the Domovoy is protecting the members of his household from pests, misfortune and evil spirits. A happy Domovoy is supposed to bring his household good fortune. The Domovoy can also come to householders in dreams, warning of impending danger. Their ability to see the future is unfortunately limited to negative events, and is always couched in riddles or obscure dream symbols. The Domovoy also mourn the dying, an important sign of love and respect that is supposed to ease the dying one's passage from the world. [B]Observances[/B] Keep the stove warm and clean. The customary greeting is "Welcome, Grandfather, to our home" and hosts are supposed to ask "Are our visitors welcome?" (in some cases, this is an opportunity for the Domovoy to warn the householder of the evil intentions of the supposed guest). A proper gift is a bowl of stewed grain left by the stove at night, but the most important gift is the love and respect of the householders, demonstrated by keeping the observances and courteous speech. There's a load more - but really, it's worth hunting out the adventure for! [/QUOTE]
