Hovering over your face for a moment – long enough that you can see how its head, floating two inches above its neck, must have been severed by a claw stroke – the ghost then collapses like smoke. And you feel another presence inside your mind, one with an urgent need to return to Kelvin's Cairn...The two huddling kobolds look on in terror... like they've seen a ghost.[SPOILER="Ghost details..."]You are "spirit-ridden", but for now you are still in control of yourself. You can consult the ghost via internal dialogue (possibly you speak out loud). If you and the ghost come into conflict later, we can treat it like an opposed Charisma check to determine whether you maintain yourself or the ghost possesses you... kind of combining how sentient magic items work & the ghost's Possession works.You know the ghost's name: Janth Alower. He was a sage and naturalist. After he died, he found his spirit trapped inside the kobold leader. The kobolds were cowed by a cult of Auril the Frostmaiden who are active in the uppermost level of the mine.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
