Everyone knows the stories about the Pale Spirit who haunts Adralesa Manor. She walks the halls, it's said, waiting until her true love returns from a journey he'll never complete. She shakes the doors, and the candles walk with her to keep her from being alone in the dark.
Those who live within Adralesa Manor would tell you different. This vengeful spirit stalks the halls, pursuing those who have wronged her in some way. Her retribution for whatever wrongs she sees are horrid and painful. She controls the surroundings of the Manor, showing absolute mastery over its structure. Door refuse to open, windows harden, furniture flings itself across the room. She prefers to terrify her victims before they die, and often hunts them slowly to build tension and fear before manifesting fully to confront them. Statistics: Lady Adralesa is a Neutral Evil 8th-level Sorcerer Ghost. Her powers have changed over time, and all are curses or control spells. How you can use Lady Adralesa in your game: - The last descendants of this once-noble family beg adventurers for aid, promising the fabled sword of their family as a reward,which is now locked in the Manor's vault. They need the spirit gone permanently. - Lady Adralesa has been enslaved by a powerful Necromancer, and although her rage is terrible, she cannot break the domination he has upon her. She can manifest in teh dreams of those nearby, however, and might try to elicit sympathy from a noble Knight or similar character, promising (falsely) her own retribution as reward. - The PCs are caught in terrible weather, and are forced to seek shelter while they have a wounded party member or animal. They are then subjected to the haunts of this terrible spirit. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 20 March 2019. Comments are closed.
