Advent Ghost #7: Watcher in the Mirror

 Watcher in the Mirror

These ghosts can only manifest as a reflection which they use as a means of torture. Until they are defeated, a Watcher in the Mirror will appear behind the victim in every pool of water, polished armor, and any other reflective surface. This leads to jumpiness, lack of sleep, and maybe even longer psychological issues. Watchers occasionally have the means to kick, push, or pinch the person they're haunting, adding to the psychological toll. 

Watchers in the Mirror usually attach themselves to a victim and slowly wear them down over weeks. If the haunted is at the top of a stairs, or trying to do something carefully, a Watcher will try to push, or distract them to cause falling down or failing at whatever task the haunted is trying to accomplish.

• When defeated in battle the above treasure appears in the pockets of the PC who had been haunted.

Roll 2d6 for a result and use one for the result and to establish if the face is behind the PC's reflection (even) or superimposed upon the PC's reflection (odd).
