Detection

PerDC 22 (trained)
StlDC 22 (trained)
InitN/A

The bell is approximately three feet tall with weeping faces etched into its metallic surface. It vibrates constantly, causing a low-frequency hum that can be felt in the marrow of one's bones.

Standard Engagement

Trigger

A creature comes within 15 feet of the space directly beneath the bell.

Routine

None (Simple Hazard)

Reset

The bell ceases its resonance after 1 minute and resets over the course of 1 hour as it re-absorbs ambient spiritual energy.

Discordant Toll

The bell releases a devastating chime of spiritual agony. Each creature within a 30-foot burst must attempt a DC 21 Fortitude save. Critical Success: The creature is unaffected. Success: The creature takes 2d6 sonic damage. Failure: The creature takes 4d6 sonic damage and is Deafened for 1 minute. Critical Failure: The creature takes 8d6 sonic damage, is Stunned 1, and is permanently Deafened (this is a magical effect that can be cured via restore senses or similar magic).

Ethereal Resonance

The bell is partially incorporeal. Attacks that do not have the ghost touch rune, or are not force effects, deal only half damage to the hazard.

Description

A tarnished silver bell, translucent and dripping with spectral ectoplasm, hangs from invisible chains. It resonates with the collective final screams of those who died in its vicinity.

Discovery

Perception DC 22 (trained) to hear the sub-harmonic vibrations or notice the way dust patterns avoid the area beneath the bell.

Archival Lore

Soul-Bells often form when a consecrated chime is present during a tragedy. The object fails to shepherd the souls to the boneyard, instead trapping their grief within its own ringing chamber.

Environment
Catacombs, ruined bell towers, or desecrated temples.
Theme
Restless spirits and auditory trauma.
Creator
Spontaneous manifestation or a spiteful necromancer.
Purpose
To serve as a spiritual alarm and to drive away or deafen intruders.
Game System
Pathfinder 2E
Art Style
Gothic horror with dark, high-contrast inks. The bell should glow with a sickly pale blue light against a backdrop of crumbling stonework.
