Detection

StlDC 25 (Expert)
InitN/A

“While inactive, the area looks perfectly normal, though dust on the floor might be arranged in strange, concentric geometric patterns. When active, a shimmering distortion in the air manifests as a translucent ribcage that pulses with violet light.”

Standard Engagement

Trigger

A creature enters the 15-foot burst area or speaks louder than a whisper.

Routine

None

Reset

The resonance settles after 1 minute, but re-arms itself fully after 1 hour has passed.

Harmonic Rupture

The haunt erupts in a 15-foot burst of bone-shaking sound. All creatures in the area take 4d10 plus 18 sonic damage and must attempt a DC 25 Fortitude save. On a success, the creature takes half damage. On a failure, the creature takes full damage and is Sickened 1. On a critical failure, the creature takes double damage and is also Frightened 2 and Deafened for 1 hour.

Sympathetic Vibration

Any creature wearing heavy metal armor or carrying a shield takes a -2 circumstance penalty to their Fortitude save as their gear amplifies the resonance.

Description

A localized haunting where the air vibrates at a frequency that shakes the skeletal structure of living creatures. It is born from the collective dying screams of those trapped in a confined space.

Discovery

Perception DC 25 (Expert) to notice a faint, high-pitched ringing that increases in intensity as one approaches the center of the room.
