There's an easily-missed passage in Shadows of Gallowspire:
Soul Haunting: The soul of a living creature who dies within the halls of Renchurch Cathedral or its catacombs is soured and corrupted by the cathedral’s malign influence, manifesting near the scene of its death 1d4 hours later as a haunt with a CR equal to its original Hit Dice and its alignment shifted to evil. Similar to a soul bind effect (CL 20th), the souls are trapped within the cathedral itself, and spells such as raise dead, reincarnation, and resurrection function only if both the soul and the body are removed from the cathedral. Such spells always fail if bodies are removed from Renchurch without the retrieval of their trapped souls as well. Dispel magic, greater dispel magic, or dispel evil cast at the resulting haunt’s site can be used to temporarily free a bound soul, but the creature must be revived within 1 hour or the soul is shunted back into the walls of Renchurch to form a haunt again.
The bolded portion is what jumped out at me. Every living creature that dies in Renchurch - Svoac and the quickwoods, the devil in the belfry, Vallabal, the invisible stalkers, all the novices, Immmoxob, the augnagar, and Urca Namat, as well as any living foes a GM adds and any PCs or cohorts - rises as a high-CR foe within a few hours of death. This is devastating (in a good way). I added a bunch of Occult Playtest-class cultists to Renchurch, so there were bonus haunts a-plenty...
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this passage. Did you use it? Or was it too much for you or your group?
Does anyone have any interesting examples of soul-spawned haunts they'd like to share? I'll post a few of mine later in the thread for others to look at and/or use. Haunts of the required CR can be a little tough to make...
I'd also love to get the author's perspective on this, if I could (and he's not too busy). Mr. Hodge, if you're reading this, what did you have in mind for this? How did you expect it to be used?
I also am wondering if anyone did anything creative with this, especially with groups that attempted Renchurch in multiple trips. I don't spoil stuff often with my players, but I have teased them that in the final module they themselves could become haunts, which they found fascinating. It'd be neat for the living bad guys who have died have their haunts echo the manner in which the PCs killed them. (So cultists killed by Flamestrikes produce a Flamestrike haunt and so forth..)

Most of my haunts are just footnotes; I'm too lazy to write them out in full. I'm probably going to try writing them out for this thread when I feel up to it, though.
Having the haunt mimic the creature's manner of death is a really good idea - never even crossed my mind. Nice!
Once the players figured it out, it gave them a really strong motivation to conserve spells and progress as far as possible in one trip. A couple of energy drain haunts on the threshold will do that to you...

In my campaign, I replaced the barbed devil with a nabasu ranger. Something something bat in the belfry, etc.
Anyway, after things started going poorly for it, it tried to teleport away; but a mixture of attempting to flee its binding and the witchgate's presence ensured that it ended up extremely dead. The result was the Twisted Demongate haunt, which pulled a demon-hunting bebilith through a hole between planes.
Twisted Demongate (CR 12)
CE persistent haunt
Caster Level 13
Notice Perception DC 30 (to notice the faint whistling of air and the subtle distortion of space)
hp 54; trigger proximity; reset 1 day
Effect When the haunt is triggered, the hole between planes tears wide, and a bebilith crawls through, as if summoned by summon monster VII. The bebilith attacks anything in the area, although it can't move more than 55 feet from the top of the crumbling tower.
Destruction A dispel evil spell, followed by a banishment or dismissal spell, will set the last fragments of the gluttonous demon's quintessence to rest.

A massive fight took place in the courtyard.
Instead of the quickwoods, I added a number of heavily-armored spiritualists (from the Occult Adventures Playtest). There were other foes, but the only living deaths were two of these scythe-wielding lunatics. Their phantoms' hatred, combined with their own souls' grisly fate, led them to manifest as Reaper of Life haunts.
Reaper of Life (CR 9)
NE haunt
Caster Level 17
Notice Perception DC 20 (to hear the moaning of hateful spirits)
hp 18; trigger proximity; reset 1 day
Effect When the haunt acts, a deformed phantasm appears, lashing out with a scythe that stretches to reach its victim. This inflicts 2d4 negative levels, as an energy drain spell; the DC to remove the negative levels is 20.
Destruction A devout worshiper of a deity of love or mercy must willfully accept the haunt's effects - doing so always results in the maximum result of eight negative levels. If the worshiper survives, the hateful spirit is calmed by her sacrifice, and is put to rest.

Once inside, my party quickly clashed with Vallabal (to whom I had added the cleric simple template). His death at the scythe of the party's cleric of Urgathoa stunned him; his spirit manifested as a haunt with a grudge and a voracious appetite.
Trelmarixian's Hunger (CR 14)
NE haunt
Caster Level 15
Notice Perception DC 30 (to feel the faint pangs of relentess hunger and thirst)
hp 28; trigger proximity; reset 1 minute
Effect When the haunt is triggered, fluids and other essentials are leeched from numerous living creatures within 60 feet, as horrid wilting (DC 22). For Vallabal's killer, this DC is increased by 2, as if the Focused Spell metamagic feat had been applied.
Destruction A devout worshiper of a deity of hunger or gluttony must cast heroes' feast three times in succession at the site, allowing the haunt to eat its fill each time - this leaves none for others to eat. Once the third feast has been consumed, the quintessence of the daemon deacon fades from this place.

I rebuilt the Renchurch novices as monks with a single spiritualist level - just enough so they could cast a couple of buff spells and get possessed with phantoms of Zeal. The result was a batch of killers who would strangle their victims... while telling them, wide-eyed, how glorious it would be for them to inhabit Renchurch forever and bond with the true essence of the Way.
The heroes didn't appreciate their generous offer.
Strangling Hands (CR 10)
NE persistent haunt
Caster Level 9
Notice Perception DC 30 (to hear creeping footsteps approaching)
hp 45; trigger proximity; reset 1 day
Effect When the haunt acts, the victim is seized about the throat as if by ghostly hands, and the air is driven from his lungs. This acts as a suffocation spell (DC 17).
Destruction The zealous cultist's spirit will only be appeased by successfully strangling a victim and allowing its soul to be trapped in Renchurch.

HOW COOL IS THIS THREAD???
I missed this before. Awesome!
My intention with that little mechanic, not unlike the Whispers haunt, was to provide GMs with exactly this kind of versatility to make Renchurch a truly dangerous locale to explore. I'm thrilled to see someone pick it up and run with it!
When I was given this assignment (my first AP work), Wes essentially said "this adventure should be an all-out bloody-knuckles assault on the Whispering Way." And that's what I set out to deliver. Of course, one of the primary criticisms of this chapter has been "this is just an all-out bloody-knuckles assault!" In retrospect, more interactive elements would have helped make it less of a schlog, and adding more haunts might seem even more excessive, but it's all about what your group likes, what motivates them, and the atmosphere you are trying to create. I know when I wrote it, I wasn't looking to include any nice, welcoming encounters in the halls of Renchurch, though looking back some trapped souls of sacrificed or slaughtered adventurers from previous generations would mix it up a little bit with some "good" haunts, so that might be something you could add to provide some brief respite to the bloodbath.
Great work here!

Thank you! (Big fan of your work - especially this adventure!)
I remember seeing your original notes on the Crusaders haunt from the final battle; something like that (on a smaller, less complex scale) could be interesting. I'll have to think about that...
Regarding "good" haunts: I actually made some adjustments to the Broken Sword of Saint Vesbias, including reducing it to a Large longsword (for comparative ease of use). One of the PCs had taken it, sensing its importance, and they were having trouble contributing to haunt fights. So, I gave it the ability to attack and damage haunts.
The Haunts aspect is definitely bad-ass.
Though my PCs wound up clearing Renchurch rather savagely in a single run (the 1 minute cooldown on the Tyrant's Whispers haunt very much enforced that - that thing comes back every 10 rounds if the party doesn't keep moving forward!)
We did have a death (the sorceress zapped the Worm That Walks with dragon's breath, it retaliated with disintegrate, but the cleric immediately cast consecrate to prevent any sort of undeathinating before using a resurrection scroll to get the deceased back up.
(And then the party actually cleansed Renchurch using Raven's Head combined with a wish scroll provided by the Palatine Eye, among other things.)

I've been using the Whispers pretty sparingly.
They opened the bodak room just long enough to know what was inside, before trying to close it. (This required various opposed Strength checks.)
The elf witch was the only one to hear the Whispers start - she used a heal spell to blow the haunt away before it could melt the door away. The party got the door shut, brushed themselves off, and continued on...
Only to hear the bar lift behind them. Lucimar, invisible and mind blanked, had opened the door for the bodaks.
I love hit-and-run foes. ^_^

The invisible stalkers in the mummy-skin room were easily felled, but their quintessence remains...
Vengeance of the Unseen (CR 7)
NE haunt
Caster Level 13
Notice Perception DC 20 (the room begins to grow hazy and insubstantial at its edges)
hp 14; trigger proximity; reset 1 day
Effect The victim finds everything around her fading into invisibility, leaving only a vast pale void. This acts as blindness, heightened to 7th level. A DC 20 Fortitude save negates the blindness.
Destruction Casting a gust of wind spell, heightened to at least 5th level, disperses the air spirit's lingering quintessence.

Immoxob made things very nasty for the party's priestess of Urgathoa, who slipped and fell into the waters of the Honeycomb. It was... sticky.
They still haven't seen what his haunt is capable of...
Filth in the Flesh (CR 13)
CE haunt
Caster Level 17
Notice Perception DC 35 (the water shimmers with a faint film of greasy slime)
hp 78*; trigger proximity; reset 1 hour
Effect The target swells and deforms before bursting into a tremendous oozing form. This acts as a flesh to ooze spell, heightened to 9th level (Fortitude DC 23 negates).
Destruction The room must be entirely emptied of standing water, leaving the demonic quintessence nowhere to linger and hide. At this point, a banishment or dispel evil spell will cleanse the room of its taint.

The party slew two of the mihstu in the Honeycomb as well.
Blood Drinker (CR 8)
NE persistent haunt
Caster Level 7
Other Qualities Fast (acts on initiative rank 20)
Notice Perception DC 20 (to notice rushing air)
hp 16; trigger proximity; reset 1 day
Effect The haunt begins siphoning the victim's blood and other vital fluids away through its eyes, mouth, and ears. This deals Constitution damage in a manner similar to a poison spell (DC 16), except that it is a blood drain effect rather than a poison effect.
Destruction Allowing the haunt to drain blood for the full six rounds temporarily sates its bloodlust; at this point, a gust of wind will disperse its lingering quintessence.

Also, a big thank-you to whoever added the new haunt modifiers in Occult Adventures.
You're welcome! ;-)
It was actually conversations like this one in the Carrion Crown threads over the last few years that led to that chapter.

Keep em coming, Kalindlara! These are awesome!!!! (Still a good month before I get to run this. Winning the War of the River Kings is taking longer than anticipated.)
Here is the link for some additional haunts I did for Renchurch detailing the fall of the abbey and the Grey Friar.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
My party should be reaching Renchurch in another 4-6 weeks or so. Really looking forward to fooling around with all of the awesome material there, especially this. My party is one that very much likes to take breaks and handle things at their own pace, but they are very under equipped to deal with large numbers of haunts. Hopefully, this will encourage them to take a few more risks and push through rather than take their time.

The augnagar qlippoth was only a minor challenge for my PCs. They aren't much affected by waves of exhaustion, and their Will saves are off the charts. If they ever let its haunt take effect, though, they may not be so lucky...
Abyssal Hunger (CR 14)
CE belligerent free-roaming spiteful haunt
Caster Level 15
Notice Perception DC 20 (to hear the sound of gnashing teeth)
hp 84; trigger proximity; reset 1 minute
Effect When the haunt is triggered, the victim is torn to shreds and digested in an instant's time. This acts as a destruction spell (DC 22 Fortitude save partial).
Destruction A demon of at least 15 Hit Dice must be successfully devoured by the haunt. This demon must be called or otherwise truly present - a summoned demon will not satisfy the raving quintessence of the fallen qlippoth.

I replaced Urca Namat with a more potent worm that walks - an Asmodean conjurer from a PC's backstory (that had escaped the PCs earlier).
One of his favored tactics included a spell stolen from the archives of the Order of the Pyre. His unique haunt carries on that tactic.
Paravicar's Malice (CR 17)
LE vaporous spiteful haunt
Caster Level 15
Notice Perception DC 20 (to hear hateful prayers to Asmodeus)
hp 34; trigger special (see Effect); reset 1 day
Effect The Paravicar's restless spirit reaches out across the land to haunt the living. Each night, his haunt manifests around a subject of his ire, who is subject to a vision of Lamashtu (Will DC 22). If the nightmare takes effect, the character is subject to one of the following spells: flesh to stone, plane shift, or baleful polymorph. The DC of these secondary spells is 20.
Destruction A pit fiend must cast trap the soul on a character suffering from the vision of Lamashtu - this traps both their soul and the haunt. The pit fiend must then take the trapped souls to Hell to be separated; the fate of the other soul must be negotiated separately.
That might not be much use to those of you using Urca Namat, so...
The House of the Worm (CR 13)
NE belligerent spiteful fast haunt
Caster Level 15
Notice Perception DC 20 (to feel the sensation of crawling maggots on skin); acts on initiative count 20
hp 78; trigger proximity; reset 1 day
Effect The haunt curses its victim with endless consumption from within, as worms slowly devour her flesh and essence. This acts as a greater bestow curse spell (Will DC 22 negates), inflicting the curse of dissolution.
Destruction The haunt's chamber must be kept completely clean, pure, and free of filth and worms for an entire week. At the end of that time, a consecrate spell cast in the chamber sets the haunt to rest.

Keep them coming, these are fantastic and really helping me with my own creativity for designing haunts.
At this point, I wonder if Paizo could get Brandon to take a look at good ole mechanical/magical Traps and improve them to be in line with their haunt cousins.

I don't have any more to add here. My PCs are about to delve into Lucimar's personal demiplane to look for a companion's trapped soul, clear the final room, and then head on to Gallowspire. If they're lucky.
However, if anyone needs help with some haunts of their own - whether ideas or full stat blocks - feel free to post here. ^_^

I've had some requests for the statblocks I used, the ones that led to some of these haunts. So, I figure I'll start putting them here (spoilered for length). Their statblocks can be complicated, so read up on them first.
Note that my creations are usually stronger than those listed in the book. In addition, I had my PCs on a very tight schedule. Stay aware of your PCs' strengths, and don't be afraid to tweak my creations.

Area E10 is where things start to... deviate.
One of the things I wanted was to give the highest echelons of the Whispering Way more personality. I created several new liches, each with a personality and story of their own. One of these - the one relevant to this room's occupants - is Princess Misoyvel.
The party nearly encountered her at Havenguard Lunatic Asylum, where she tore the place up looking for Kendra Lorrimor. They arrived just behind Adivion Adrissant, who dueled the elven lich and quickly dispatched her. He knew she would rejuvenate at Renchurch anyway, and it served his narrative.
(I originally created her to give the party's elf witch some backstory. She turned out to be a clone of Misoyvel, accidentally activated when the Princess became a lich 5 years before the campaign's start. Professor Lorrimor found her and helped her live a normal life, and in time, she blocked out her strange past.)

I told you that story so that this room's occupants would make more sense. The Handmaiden and Misoyvel's brainwashed bodyguards have taken up occupancy in this room.

This battle can go off-script easily, as the Handmaiden is essentially a child, mentally speaking (albeit an emotionally ravaged and supernaturally evil one). She uses her telepathy to ask enemies, especially elven ones, to "play with her" - and she loves breaking her toys.
The blademasters team up and kill enemies as efficiently as possible. They've been broken inside for decades, and have nothing left to offer emotionally.

E11's occupants all start out invisible, so all the party will see is Cleves tied to his chair. Vallabal can inform them telepathically during his fight with the PCs, so they have plenty of reason to be pre-buffed with minute/level or longer effects.

Once things get more chaotic or if they can't just choke everyone to death, they'll start using the Ghoul Stone, as presented in the module.

(Note that once her master dies, the quasit attempts to steal her master's soul and drag it to the Abyss, where she also goes. That happened in my game, which is why these two have no haunts.)
What's up with those last two?
Raknyr is a Whispering Way wizard who often acted as a liaison to the demons of the Worldwound. On his first mission there, he aided in the slaying of a crusader patrol. Using the secrets of the Way, he bound the soul of a fallen paladin, combining it with fiendish essence to create a quasit with all of her combat training and the ability to grow to human size. Finally, he named his creation Iomedae as an insult to both her and the goddess she once served.
What he does with this (often human-sized) quasit when they're not at war is left to the imagination... but an item on her equipment list should give players pause.
(She'll reappear in the Abyss in my WotR campaign, with a lot of her pre-quasit memories intact. Looking forward to that.)

My wife's PC died in Renchurch. She was a life oracle. I had the haunt that she turned into basically do a reverse life link. It established a life link with one PC each round, and every round siphoned 5 hp from every linked PC. It became a race to do more positive energy damage to the haunt than she could recover as her ability to recover hp increased with every life link she established.
I love the soul haunting effect--what a great, thematic way to ramp up the difficulty and tension in what should by rights be a seriously deadly location.
