Advent Ghost #4: Weeping Spirit

 I had originally intended to mix up the stats on these and bounce back and forth from DCC to OSE, but I might just do the bulk in OSE instead.... and maybe I'll do them all in DCC at the end of this.

Weeping Spirit*

Weeping Spirits are always found in a building and are a personification of a past disturbing event rather than an actual person. This minor ghost can appear 2x a day (in the same location) and manifests as a young woman wearing white, covering her eyes, and weeping. When spoken to she removes her hands revealing bloody sockets and blood pours down her face and dress. She attacks 1d4+1 opponents and then runs away while disincorporating. 

This haunting can be lifted if the building is cleansed by a priest or cleric or the past wrong is righted.  

AC 1 [18] HD 4** (18 hp), Att 2 × touch (1d6 and cursed), THAC0 16 [+3], MV 120 (40’), SV D10 W11 P12 B13 S14 (4), ML 10, AL Chaotic, XP 175, NA 1 (1), TT NA

  • Undead: Make no noise until attacking. Immune to effects that affect living creatures (e.g. poison). Immune to mind-affecting or mind-reading.
  • Bloody Hand Curse: If touched by a Weeping Spirit, a bloody handprint remains after she flees. The print comes back in 1d4 hours if washed away. It reappears in the same place on new clothing and armor and on the skin if clothing is removed. Only a remove curse spell will take the bloody hand print away.



*This is a minor ghost from an adventure called The Horrid Echoes of the Blue Blade which was included in a  Mythoard box several years ago. The adventure is getting rereleased (soonish) in a collection tentatively titled The Doom Side of X Mountain.

Advent Ghost #19: The Searching Shade

Searching Shade  Some say these ghosts are just silly stories shared around a roaring fire to scare children, but there are others who swear...
