Fear of the Devil

The terror of adventurers who died here clings to the air, curdling into a haunt that gags intruders with the reek of brimstone. The dead remember their last moments, and they share the fear.

Trigger A living creature approaches within 10 feet of the pit's edge

Effect A smoky, burning manifestation of the Sandpoint Devil appears to rise from the pit, causing a plume of brimstone-scented smoke to billow into the room. All creatures in area **H6** must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude save or become sickened 1 (sickened 2 on a critical failure). The haunt then rolls initiative.

Reset The haunt deactivates 1 minute after all creatures leave the area but resets immediately thereafter.
