In one round.  Dang!So he became a ghost and haunted them the rest of the campaign.  Imagine it, a handful of thieves who every time they picked a locked, the lock would mysteriously relock apparently on its own...Anytime they tried to sneak, something would fall off the shelves...My players were getting angry with me for that one.  Im a Baaad, Baad, evil GM <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
