DM Brainiac's Season of Ghosts Table 2

Game Master Brainiac

"This scarf's nice -- it would go beautifully with my fur!" Hooli says, wrapping it around herself. She shrugs at the fan -- "I've never used one before..."

Sadly, not proficient, though it's a neat weapon. If no one else wants it, I'll hold on to it.

You descend into the forested caldera, and soon enough, you reach Tan Sugi monastery, a gloomy compound set in the shadow of tallest sugi tree in the region. The monastery is in ruins. The once well‑maintained courtyards are overgrown with weeds. Mud and fallen leaves litter the walkways, and there are numerous holes in the roofs and walls. Screams and ghostly whispers rise and fall with the wind, and the steady creaking of swaying tree branches lends itself to the eerie ambiance.

The Pilgrim’s Path leads to the front of a wooden gatehouse built into the monastery’s southern wall. Shredded fulus adorn the bamboo bars of the wooden gate, and a lone wind chime jingles in the wind as it dangles from a rickety post protruding over the top of the gate. The gates themselves are closed but can be opened with ease.

A close inspection of the fulus on the gate reveal three of them are actually magical and intact. They are a ghostbane fulu and two spirit-sealing fulus.

The gatehouse is empty. Long corridors head west and east, ending at doors. To the north, the gatehouse opens into a courtyard.

If I'm reading the rules right, "Affix a Fulu" is 1 action that doesn't require any sort of attack roll, right? You spend 1 action to affix the spirit-sealing fulu onto the undead, and then the undead immediately has to make a DC 17 will save or be paralyzed?

Xiung-Lau examines the fulu. "Not to state the obvious, but I am sensing portents that we are on a course to interact with spirits and undead." He keeps one of the spirit-sealing fulus.

Did anyone else want either the hairpin or mind wrap? Or is it OK if I keep both of those?

Li Jie enters the Gate house. The Alchemist examines the Fulus, nods, but doesn't take them.
I have sssome Ghossst Charge Elixirsss prepared, sssome perhapsss Hooli?

The Nagaji's tongue slithers tasting the air, as he slithers about the room.

Li Jie will investigate the Northern opening...

How long was the travel here? Do we still have daylight? Do we need to rest or risk being fatigued?

Xiung-Lau joins Li Jie in investigating the northern opening, specifically looking if there is a way to easily fortify the gatehouse against intrusion should they choose to rest here.

Exploration Activity: Investigate (Crafting +14)

I'm fine with you taking both items, since I'm taking two also!

Hooli shrugs at Li Jie's offer. "I have my own ghost charge!" she says, casting a divine lance at a nearby tree.
