Within Harrowstone

Harrowstone Grounds

Ravengro Map

Ravengro Town Gazeteer:

A: Town Square. Simple wooden gazebo serves as the hub for Ravengro's gatherings. The town's favorite stray dog, Old River, is known to hang around here during the day.

B: Posting Poles: poles where townspeople can post all sorts of messages for the town, ranging from news to sales to advertisements.

C: The Laughing Demon: Zokar Elkarid runs this warm and friendly tavern.

D: Ravengro Town Hall: in classic small-town style, Ravengro citizens use this for virtually everything, from weddings to council meetings.

E: Temple of Pharasma: Vauran Grimburrow, the Father from the funeral, is officialy in charge of the temple, but any number of a dozen or so acolytes actually handle the day to day going-ons. The temple sells various healing and holy related items.

F: Ravengro General Store: Luthko and Marta Avanaki run the general store with their five daughters. While the store usually caters to local needs, the town is big enough and on a populated enough route to stock most simple adventuring items.

G: Ravengro Forge: Jorfa is the dwarven master of the forge. One of Ravengro's most valuable resources, she is as standoffish and quiet on her past as one would expect.

H: Jominda's Apothecary: Jominda Fallenbridge keeps a well-stocked supply of pharmacological provisions, both herbal and alchemical.

I: Ravengro Jail: a relatively small jail serves as Ravengro's home for the occasional drunk citizen. Sherriff Benjan Caller runs the jail with his four part-time deputies.

J: The Silk Purse: two moneylenders work out of this building, Luramin Taigh and Quess Yearburn. They have loans available for collateral to farmers or other potential clients. They also sell some of the items that have failed to me reclaimed.

K: The Outward Inn: board and breakfast run by Sarlanna Val. Highly reccomended, if you don't have a free place to stay that is. Local musicians and storytellers often visit for evenings of entertainment.

L: The Unfurling Scroll: Alendru Ghoroven, a retired wizard-turned-teacher teaches reading, math, and history, as well as beginning magical theory. In addition to teaching, Alendru supplements his income by buying and selling minor magic items (primarily scrolls) that he’s purchased or created.

M 1-4: Council Member's Houses.

N: The Van Richten Residence: formerly the professor's house, it is now Kendra's. And your current lodging.

O: Harrowstone Memorial: Other than the looming ruins of Harrowstone on a nearby hill, Ravengro’s most distinctive landmark is a 25-foot-tall, moss-covered stone statue that overlooks the river. The statue depicts a proud, muscular human man dressed in leathers and wielding a truncheon—a depiction of Warden Hawkran. A total of 25 names—the guards who died in the fire of 4661, as well as the warden’s wife, are chiseled into the statue’s stone base.

P: to The Restlands: a large stretch of moorland reserved for interring Ravengro's dead. Thanks to the Pharasmin church's influence in town, Ravengro's graveyard is large and well tended.

Q: Gibs Hephenus, the man who started the fight at the professor's funeral lives here.

R To Harrowstone: this reminder of Ravengro's original purpose looms over the town from atop its bleak hilltop, a constant inspiration for tall tales and bad dreams.

Sanity Rules:

Sanity Score: This is sort of like mental hit points. It’s the sum of all your mental stats (Wisdom, Intelligence, Charisma) less any damage to those scores.

Sanity Damage: this is like hit point damage done in physical combat (like a sword blow, etc), only, it affects your sanity score, not your hit points. So, if you encounter an attack on your sanity and suffer damage, you deduct that damage from your sanity score.

Losing Sanity and Gaining Madness:
When you’re faced with a monster that can do sanity damage, you have to make an immediate will save. If you save, most of the time, you will be able to ignore all Sanity damage (i.e. your mental faculties hold up) though some creatures may do damage regardless of your save (like Great Old Ones).

If you lose ALL of your Sanity (i.e. Sanity pool moves to zero), you gain a lesser madness (this is generally a temporary condition), I will not have PCs suffer more than 1 lesser madness at a time. This mechanic is for flavor not to annihilate PCs effectiveness.

If you lose ALL of your Sanity facing a Great Old One, that will trigger a greater madness. This is permanent though each PC will only ever gain a single one of these.

Losing Madness and Gaining Sanity:
Madness can be lost (and sanity restored in several ways).
1. Rest: Every 7 full days of uninterrupted rest heals sanity damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). You’re letting your own sense of self and force of personality reassert itself and mend together the tattered fragments of your tortured psyche.
2. Therapy: Tell someone else your problems (mentor, counselor, confidante, friend, family, priest, advisor, etc). At the end,, the ally attempts a Wisdom or Intelligence check (whichever is higher) DC equal to the amount of Sanity you have lost. Success means you add their ability modifier (wis or int, whichever is higher) to the amount of sanity damage you heal.
3. Magic:
a. lesser restoration: 1d2 points once per day
b. Restoration: 2d4 points per day
c. Heal: 3d4 points/day
d. Greater restoration, psychic surgery, limited wish: all of it, if your sanity was below your edge (in other words, you still had more than half your sanity points left). Or, to 1 point below your sanity edge if you had more than half of your sanity lost.
e. Miracle and wish fix everything

Effects of Restoring Sanity:
Lesser Madness - If all of your sanity damage is healed, your lesser madness is removed entirely.

Greater Madness - If all of your sanity damage is healed, your greater madness is dormant. It will become reactivated if you again suffer a full loss to your Sanity score. A greater madness can only be fully healed with a long term psychiatric stay (1 month, which could well be played out over a downtime depending on how the chronicle proceeds) r the use of a Wish or Miracle spell (hard to come by in Ravenloft!).

Fear, Horror, and Madness:

I will NOT be using Madness rules as the Sanity rules already cover that.

Fear, Horror, and Madness saves represent the power of terror — a roleplaying tool to help players visualize the hysteria that often clouds the minds of characters in classic tales of horror.

Making the Saving Throw

Fear and Horror saves are considered Will saves in all respects. Anything that modifies a Will save likewise modifies Fear and Horror saves; anything that modifies saves vs. fear effects modifies Fear saves.

Fear and Horror saves all use the same basic mechanic: a Will save against a specified DC. Specific DCs depend on the situation and type of check being made and will be provided by me. Luck effects and resistance effects (such as those generated by a luckstone or a cloak of resistance) do not affect Fear and Horror saves; they are outside the purview of luck and are not "active" effects that would be resisted. Divine effects do aid Fear and Horror saves, however.

If a character succeeds at the Will save, then there is no effect, and she is immune to that specific source of fear or horror for 24 hours. If a character fails the Will save, then the margin of failure determines the result. Subtract the final check result from the DC; this result determines whether the character suffers a minor, moderate, or major effect.

Failure Margin Effect

1-5 points Minor
6-10 points Moderate
11-15 points Major
16+ points Major, plus additional effect.

When determining the results of failed Horror save, the player should also concurrently roll 1d4 for the DM to select a specific effect.

FEAR SAVES

A character should make a Fear save when facing overwhelming odds and/or immediate, dire physical danger.

Failure Results

Minor Effect: Shaken. The character suffers a -2 morale penalty to attack rolls, checks, and saves.

Moderate Effect: Frightened. The character is shaken and flees as well as she can. She can fight to defend herself if unable to flee. A frightened character can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, she must use such means if they are the only way to escape.

Major Effect: Panicked. The character suffers a -2 morale penalty on saving throws and must flee. She has a 50% chance to drop what she's holding, chooses her path randomly (as long as she escapes from immediate danger), and flees any other dangers that confront her. If cornered, she cowers. A panicked character may use a special ability or spell to escape.

Additional Failures: Fear effects stack. A shaken character who fails another Fear save becomes frightened. A frightened character who fails another Fear save becomes panicked.

Recovering from Fear

Fear effects last 5d6 rounds. Certain spell effects (such as modify memory or remove fear) can remove all Fear effects.

Note that as the characters level, the amount of fear checks will diminish as you confidence and power/abilities increase.

HORROR SAVES

The heroes witness scenes of terrible cruelty or behold events that simply should not be. Horror is a broader emotion than fear, and more intimate. Horror often permanently colors a character's view of the world, be it through the shock of realizing that such merciless events are possible or the paralyzing dismay of discovering some monstrous trait within oneself. Horror is the murderer of innocence. Possible examples of scenes that might require a Horror save include seeing someone torn limb from limb, watching a friend transform into a hideous monster, or learning that you slew an innocent bystander while possessed by an evil spirit.

Horror saves are typically prompted by unusual, unique situations rather than by creatures, so unlike Fear saves there's no quick formula to determine the DC. Instead, I will use my best judgment to apply a DC to the scene. As a rule, the more gruesome, abnormal and/or insane the scene, the higher the DC should be.

Failure Results

If a character fails a Horror save, the player should roll 1d4 and compare it to the effect category to select a specific symptom of Horror. If a character fails a Horror save by 16+ points, he suffers Sanity Damage on a one for one basis for each point over 16 (i.e. failing a roll by 20 would result in 4 points of Sanity Damage).

Failure Results

Minor Effect: (1) Aversion, (2) Fearstruck, (3) Frozen, or (4) Nausea.

Moderate Effect: (1) Nightmares, (2) Obsession, (3) Rage, or (4) Revulsion

Major Effect: (1) Fascination, (2) Haunted, (3) Mental Shock, or (4) System Shock

Additional Failures: Some Horror effects have outburst durations that are measured in rounds. A character can carry only a single Horror effect at a time. If a subsequent failed Horror save indicates a result of equal or lesser severity, I will use another outburst of the existing effect. If a failed Horror save indicates a result of greater severity, the existing effect is removed and there is default to the greater one instead. Horror effects do not stack.

Recovering from Horror

Minor Horror effects last one week.

Moderate effects last two weeks.

Major effects last thirty days.

At the end of this duration, the character rolls a recovery check (a Horror save). Use the DC of the original Horror save with a -2 morale bonus, since time and distance heal all wounds. If the character succeeds at this check, the Horror effect is removed. If she fails, the Horror effect persists for another duration period. A character can retry failed Horror recovery checks each time she reaches the end of a duration period. The -2 DC modifier is cumulative with each attempt.

Numerous spells and magical effects (such as modify memory or remove fear) can also remove all Horror effects.

Harrowstone Prison

As the area is now secure, I will assume that the balance of the group will head down the rope, so I have moved all Avatars into the pit. There are still 3 ropes securely tied to the upper floor.

Four dark hallways exit from this large empty chamber, each striking out in one of the four directions of the compass, and each decorated with a soot-caked brass nameplate affixed to the ceiling just above the entrance. Cole looks up at the edge of the hall and sees a nameplate above his head as well.

A rubble-choked stairway leads up in the middle of the room, while eight skeletons dressed in scorched prisoners’ robes lie on the ground. They all still lay where they met their horrific fate.

Except for the sound of the group's breathing, all is quiet down here.

I'll address the Perception checks once the group fully enters the room.

Sergei frowned at the single rope leading into the pit, like he didn't trust it. He took a moment to retrieve two pitons from his small pack and walked back towards the sturdy stone floor near where they entered. One at a time he simply held the pitons over the floor and they launched from his hands like they'd been fired from a bow, lodging deep into the stone.

Then a rope snaked from his pack, tied itself in a pair of knots around the pitons, and followed Sergei like an obedient snake back to the hole. It slithered down parallel to the other rope, reaching out to knot itself to it's twin every foot or so.

Sergei started climbing down, watching the rope ladder form beneath his feet as he went. At the bottom he brushed his hands off and patted himself down and retrieved a pipe and a pouch from inside his jacket. He packed it efficiently as he waited for the others to finish climbing down, then made an unhappy noise as he failed to find anything to light it with.

"Вы не возражаете?" he asked Cole, lifting his pipe in the pyromancer's direction.

Sterling makes his way down, with minimal assistance. The cleric adjusts his hood and watches with interest as Sergei magics his own rope-ladder into the hole.

Sterling steps slightly closer to Sergei. Not, quite, within touching distance.

"Sergei? What language is that?"

Sergei made a disgruntled face behind his dark glasses. He pursed his lips, then slowly said "Am Marcella. No Sergei. Speak... is patterna. Vistani."

Teofila hadn't thought anything of Sergei saying a thing or two she couldn't understand. She'd just assumed he was talking to someone else in a language they both knew but she didn't. But now things are getting weird, perhaps concerning.

"What?" she asks Sergei. "You are Marcella? Is that what you mean? Who is Marcella? What is Vistani?"

Sergei's brows furrowed in frustrated concentration. "Slow. Please. No speak... this. Sergei hear. Sergei tell... how I say... ah, how I... repsond? Ah no, how I respond, da? Vistani is... my people. My speak."

He made a frustrated noise and had a rapid fire, one-sided conversation in the Vistani language nobody else understood, like he was speaking to someone nobody else could hear. She sounded angry, and spoke expressively with her hands.

When he was finished he sighed and gestured to himself. "One body... Many soul... Sergei inside... Am Marcella now."

Marcella has a very thick, nearly unintelligible Romanian-ish accent. She talks with her hands like a grumpy Russian grandmother.

I once had a GM that had a NPC that changed classes with his multiple personality disorder. Every morning he would roll randomly what aspect took control, then he would dress differently and act accordingly. Bonkers fun.

Understanding the gesture with the pipe, regardless of the language, Cole nods and waves a hand over the pipe, igniting the tobacco with a flash of sparks. His sword's light dims for a second when he does so, but he then relights the tip easily enough and moves on.

"Zajar ku lif."

Sergei took a few puffs of his pipe to flare the embers Cole made, then a deep, satisfying pull. He smiled and sighed out the smoke like it was something he'd been missing for a very long time.

"Cпасибо, Cole"

Looks like Teofila is the only one who speaks Varisian and is trained in linguistics. I guess she should field the starting question.

With another utterance from Sergei, and reflection on what he has said before, Teofila thinks maybe there's something she recognizes about the language 'Marcella' is speaking. It's not the language change that distresses her though. That is just a symptom of what Marcella is describing as 'many souls in the body', perhaps a possession of some sort.

Teofila thinks about that first.

Teo isn't entirely sure what is happening. Is Sergei's presence here triggering a latent medium ability and is he drawing in souls that were trapped here? Does he harbor souls within himself normally, that is so rare that Teo has never even heard of the phenomena. From the beginning he claimed he be from a land she had never heard of but yet was in Van Richten's notes, Barovia. The question is, should the group hash this all out before entering further into a place where the departed may well be able to inhabit one of your allies?

"Is it possible he was possessed when we entered this place?" Kenzo asks as he eyes him warily.

Teofila shrugs at Kenzo's question. She decides since she can't figure it out herself, she might as well ask the person most likely to know what's going on. It probably can't hurt.

Marcella listened, pausing for whatever translation was happening beyond everyone else's hearing. Sergei's lips pursed behind his scarf and she had another short, one-sided conversation in the Vistani language. Teo made out what she thought were the Varisian words for "fear," "trust," and "stupidity," among the short tirade. Marcella was clearly fed up with whatever Sergei was telling her.

She pulled the scarf and dark glasses off, revealing Sergei's features for the first time. He was clearly not human. His skin was nearly white and unnaturally smooth. He looked more like a marble statue of breathtaking quality, like a man who'd been turned to stone and then animated by magic. His eyes looked like they were solid gold, and etched to give the impression of pupils and irises.

She nodded and pointed to Kenzo. "Before, da. All time."

"Body is... she trailed off, unable to find the words. She made a sound mimicking suction, and mimed pulling things towards herself. Then held up one of the Haunt Siphons. "Like this, da?"

She tapped Sergei's forehead with one finger. "Sergei very haunted."

Realizing the connection between the language and Varisian might make switching languages herself a good idea, Teofila asks in Varisian whether Marcella understands her better now, and repeats her question about why so many souls since that doesn't happen under any normal circumstances.

"Сега разбираш ли ме по-добре? Защо тази форма може да побере толкова много души? Това не е нещо, което обикновено може да се случи."

As for figuring Sergei's body out, K local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Marcella's eyes widened and she smiled as she recognized the language. The dialect was quite different, but clearly close enough.

She shrugged. "Я не знаю, как было сделано это тело, или как оно работает. Я подозреваю, что оно было предназначено только для одной души. Может быть, оно было сделано неправильно?"

Not fascinated in the least by the odd conversation, Cole stays calculating and quiet, moving toward the obvious tunnel. He begins checking the structural integrity of it, to determine if it is safe to enter before they move on.

Let me know if I need to make any actual Engineering or more Perception rolls. (Or you can make them for me to save time!) I'm assuming this place is fairly stable from here out, unless you say so GM. Cole is basically keeping his eyes out for signs of falling earth/rock or possible physical traps too.

He waves Ogre over.

K:Religion: (To figure out the 'possession/many-souls-in-one-body' question"

If you speak Varisian, it's close enough to Vistani to get the gist.

There's an Osirioni construct-race called the Shabti that are essentially an artificial body made to trap and house a soul. They're kinda like living golems, or androids. As far as you know they are made for individuals, usually for the purpose of escaping some kind of punishment in the afterlife. Generally speaking, Pharasma is not a fan.

As far as you know they're not a one-size-fits-all thing. They have to be tailor made for specific people and can't be reused. Once made, they work pretty much the same way a normal body does. Stuffing multiple souls into one would require pretty weird circumstances.

As far as you know they're not a one-size-fits-all thing. They have to be tailor made for specific people and can't be reused. Once made, they work pretty much the same way a normal body does. Stuffing multiple souls into one would require pretty weird circumstances.

The 19 Knowledge Religion roll would be sufficient to know this and would seem to be a logical conclusion based on what "Sergei" said thus far.

Harrowstone Prison

As the rest of the Party tries to determine whether Sergei's predicament could cause any extra trouble in the already clearly haunted prison, Cole edges forward to inspect the tunnel.

He does not get the sense that the area is trapped (or at least no traps go off as he inspects the narrow side passages) or that the are is particularly precarious from a structural standpoint. The fire appears to not have impacted this natural cave area outside of collapsing the mechanism on the lift.

A further inspection of the next room would be in order to determine if there is any true fire damage or if the only damage was the smoke that filled the area and caked onto the walls.

Cole do you want to move fully into the next room?

Zek'Karis ONLY:
It has been quite the journey and you followed a few unfortunate red herrings. But. All evidence leads to the conclusion that your foes have traveled to Ravengro.

Certainly it's an odd omen that you tracked them to the village where you understand it Van Richten retired. You have to wonder if there is any significance to that but you can find out when you seek him out.

For now, this abandoned prison seems a good place to inspect and you indeed find runes that are quite suspicious on the base of its foundation!

As you contemplate whether to briefly enter and inspect or simply head to the village to catch up with the Doctor, you see a female exit the prison itself!

She appears to be a Tiefling. She does not dress in the dark garb that your nemeses don. Of course, that does not mean she is not in league with them though you do not recall a Tiefling among their number.

Do you wish to: (a) follow her, (b) approach and encounter her, (c) wait for her to leave and enter the prison, or (d) something else altogether? FYI, I have placed you on the Harrowstone Grounds map, let me know if you are unable to access it. All maps are linked at the to of the page in a hyper link.

Once more, as you look around the room you notice the floor is incredibly clean despite the soot on the walls.

However, once again, before you can contemplate what this may mean, the eight skeletons who perished down here stir once more!

Bastion quickly steps forward to get between Cole and the rerisen dead.

"Arrghhhhhh" he screams, hoping to attract the attention of the rest of the party even as he swings his massive sword at the closest skeleton.

Stepping past Ogre's form, Cole attempts to blast the next three skeletons with a curtain of purple-hued fire.

Re: Sergei: Thx for info! Weird, AND cool. I LIKE it! ;)

Sterling tilts his head slightly, and a hiss escapes from under his hood.

"Shabti. If I'm not mistaken." The cleric says coldly.

Sterling looks at Teo, "An Orisini construct. A construct body made to house a soul. Usually to escape punishment in the afterlife. Or otherwise cheat death."

The cleric reaches up and rubs his temple.
"Pharasma is NOT gonna like this. One bit." He mutters.

Sterling sighs, a bit dramatic for the usually reserved cleric, and pulls back his hood enough to see his face as he looks Sergei, or whomever it is, in the eyes.

"Seems you've put me in a bit of a predicament Sergei, um,... Marcella. Avoiding the afterlife is a big 'NO-NO', and something I'm required to address when discovered. With extreme prejudice. BUT,... I've never heard of a Shabti housing more than one soul. You aren't some Archmage trying to avoid the afterlife via lichdom. You're, something else."

Sterling relaxes a bit, a ghost of a smile on his lips.
"As the ranking member of Pharasma's clergy present, I officially declare the situation requires careful investigation. Just how 'haunted' are you? How many people are in,..."

Sterling stops at the sound of Ogre's battle cry, followed immediately by the familiar sound of Cole's fire magic. He sighs again, more in frustration this time, and pulls his hood back up.

"Of course. JUST when things were getting interesting. I hope we can continue this discussion later."

Cole releases a wave of fire at the undead. Oddly, it seems to have no effect!

Bastion charges past Cole and swings his blade at the nearest skeleton, just missing the target.

Kenzo rushes into the room and fires an arrow, it too missies its mark.

Sterling completes his thoughts as the action begins to get serious in the nearby room.

She sighs and eases up the tension in her body, "I've no interest in killing you, but you're certainly out of place here. I know the feeling.

If it's food you are looking for this isn't the place, this place is haunted by the dead. My friends are within investigating but my skills are of little use in there. There's a village nearby, which I am heading to now to look after someone I suspect is in danger.

I can get you food there. The townsfolk I bet wouldn't take kindly to you, but then they don't take kindly to me either so that'll be their problem".

As the sounds of fighting abruptly started, Sergei/Marcella moved quickly into the larger room. The skeletons drew a sneer of disgust and some kind of hand sign to ward off evil.

With a flick of her pipe, Marcella sent a block of rubble hurtling towards the skeleton in the back.

I'm trying to avoid firing into melee and cover penalties, so I'm telekinetically grabbing a rock from behind the pack of undead, and attacking the one at the back of Sergei's line of sight.

Sterling finishes adjusting his hood, and realizes he now alone in the chamber. He shakes his head.

"Undead-filled haunted-prison, and they run off without the Cleric. Typical."

His voice is sarcastic, but his steps are fleet as he moves to join the others.

Seeing the situation, and surprised at the lack of damaged skeletons in the chamber, (especially being familiar with Cole's specialty) Sterling moves past Teo and close to Ogre, using the burly barbarian and the chambers' central pile of rubble as protection from immediate skeleton reprisal.

"I've got this." He says without apparent pride or ego. It is simply a statement of fact.

The Tiefling shouts, "No wait.... oh damn". she pauses clearly considering whether to give chase or not.

You head in through the front doors at rapid speed.

INSIDE Harrowstone Prison

Zek'Karis IN:

A two-story stone building looms in the center of the prison grounds. Ivy and moss cling tenaciously to the walls, while above the wooden shingles of the roof are often missing entirely, exposing the wooden rafters of the upper structure to the sky. Here and there, leering stone gargoyles perch on the eaves, once functioning as drainspouts and decorations but now seeming almost to serve a more ominous role of sentinels.

Many of these stone decorations have crumbled away and lie in ruined piles on the soggy ground below. Windows in the building’s facade are narrow and blocked by grills of rusty iron bars. Stone columns support a slumping wooden balcony over the building’s wooden front doors, both of which hang askew and reveal dark glimpses of chambers within.

Heedless of the danger, you move through and into a wide hall flanked by a pair of waiting rooms, but the foyer to Harrowstone now lies in ruins. With little left to hold up the ceiling, the wooden beams above sag dramatically. The wall to the north contains a large pair of oaken doors. The doors are closed and look as solid as the day they were installed. A lock which may have held them closed, sits on the ground useless now.

Pushing forward, the doors swing open as if they were just oiled yesterday.

Streaks of mold stain the walls of this foyer, and the floor below is a thick, gray carpet of fungal growth. Sturdy wooden doors beckon from every wall. The oaken doors are of the same style as the ones just opened.

From here you may go, east, north, or west.

Make a Perception check to determine if you can hear the Party, DC 20.

Kenzo's shot scuttles across the rubble as the shot misses high.

Teo enters the fray and releases rays of positive energy at the undead.

Teo - Disrupt Undead - 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 - Damage 1d6 ⇒ 4

Both rays hit and both skeletons seem to swell for a moment and then explode in a fiery blast! Luckily, Cole and Bastion are out of range of the two separate conflagrations.

Two of the undead attempt to take the long way around to get to Sterling

The rest swarm Cole & Bastion. As they stare at you both, you see that the sockets in their eyes slowly begin to catch fire. Both hands of each rake at your armor and skin.

Despite sturdy protections of armor and magic, the undead manage to score some hits on both Bastion & Cole.

Yes, but I rolled low damage with very little visible effect against the ectoplasm creature, and destroying the haunt was 'cool' but did not really satisfy Cole's need to 'burn' things. (Death and destruction are useful tools, but burning things...actually catching them on fire...that's so much more!) The skeletons are normally up his alley for burnable undead, AND I rolled max damage for once too! So...its very disappointing so far to Cole's perspective. He really hasn't 'burned' anything yet. Not very effectively."
