Believing that these priests were the same ones responsible for his wife’s death years ago and that they had returned for him, he saw one of the travelers apparently talking with a raven in the town. While the raven is the pet of Lereia, one of the local town children, Antrellus became convinced the bird is actually the cultist’s familiar. After seeing the little girl talking with the bird as well, his paranoia cemented the notion that the girl herself is a cultist in disguise, masquerading as the child. Obsessed with the animal and believing it to be constantly watching him, he tracked it and eventually captured it at its favorite roost by the Murmuring Fountain, tying it in a sack and stuffing the squawking package under the drain grate of the fountain’s lower basin. What might otherwise have been a simple act of insane compulsion, however, has become something else as eldritch energies have seeped into the town and caused the spirit of the murdered pet raven, named Eronel by Lereia, to awaken, along with a darker haunting at the town’s heart.Spectral Gargoyle: However, the [raven's roost] haunt’s spiritual energies do not simply dissipate when the haunt is destroyed. Instead, these energies cascade over the fountain and create spectral versions of the four gargoyles supporting the fountain.Raven's Roost Haunt: Shortly before the arrival of the PCs in town, Antrellus observed a group of yellow-clad travelers passing through, one asking questions about him.
