Effect When this haunt is triggered, the gold around it glitters and sparkles with luster, inviting thoughts of malignant avarice into the minds of any who behold it. Anyone within the area becomes the target of a malicious spite spell (Will DC 14) that continues after leaving it as long as anything from the treasure chest remains with them (unless the haunt itself is destroyed). 
Destruction The youngest descendant of every council member responsible for Deathfang’s demise must be sacrificed on a pyre before the original chest of his hoard OR each and every piece of haunted gold must be melted down and blessed with holy water (1 per 100 gold).

Adventure Hook The brigand Deathfang was a half-orc that gathered the most monstrous brethren he could find, uniting them under his own banner of banditry. They terrorized the countryside for years, amassing a huge hoard of wealth that only their leader knew the location of. After being routed by several bands of adventurers, Deathfang stood trial and was sentenced to death by hanging (after rigorous questioning). The resilient rogue took his secret to the grave, cursing the hidden trove with his passing. Deathfang’s Revenge surrounds a treasure chest of a size determined by the GM (filled with an amount of gold appropriate for the party’s level) and is often in a room occupied by the corpses of the betrayed.
