Watching Wall

The final victim of this room, a spy from Irhurma whose intelligence had already brought Dretha’s activities to the attention of the Founders met his end here. When he put up a fight and Dretha tried to subdue him, she accidentally killed him instead. The spirit of the paranoid spy lingers on.

Someone is Watching Trigger A living creature remains in the room for at least 1 round; Effect An overwhelming wave of paranoia fills the room. Each creature in the room must attempt a DC 25 Will save, with the following results. An eerie red eye then opens in the center of the western wall, looking about the room, and the haunt rolls initiative.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature becomes Frightened 1 and feels like someone or something is watching them for as long as they remain frightened.
Failure The creature becomes frightened 2 and treats no one as an ally as long as they remain frightened.
Critical Failure The creature becomes frightened 3 and is Confused as long as they remain frightened.
Routine The eye glances about, and those it can see take mental damage (DC 21 basic Will save) as fears of being watched impart ripples of pain. A creature that takes mental damage from this effect doesn’t reduce its frightened value at the end of its next turn.
