NE haunt (20 ft. by 10 ft. cliff’s peak)
Caster Level 7th
Notice Perception DC 23 (to hear the wails of tortured souls)
hp 12; Trigger proximity; Reset 1 hour
Effect When this haunt is triggered anyone within its area is compelled to hurl themselves off the cliff if they fail a DC 16 Will save, screeched at by a horde of phantasmal demons that sling the vilest of insults until they are obeyed. On a successful save the compulsion to leap off the cliff (80 feet down onto the water, taking 8d6 points of damage) is resisted, but the wicked brayings of the demons deal 3d6 points of damage. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.

Destruction No less than four true holy tomes must be thrown into a bonfire in the area of the haunt (unless these books are devoted to a god of evil or necromancy, this act begets no ill will for the owners.)

Adventure Hook The mad priest Cavraszen traveled across the land, spreading his insanity wherever he went. Droves of suicides followed his passing; for an entire decade he terrorized the coastline, appearing in different guises to succor the foolish to early, self-inflicted deaths. Eventually Cavraszen’s foul deeds came back to haunt him, and the children of a town he nearly destroyed banded together to ensure his demise. They flung his body from the peak after battering him senseless, killing the insane preacher on impact.
