Lonely Machine Spirit

The spirit bound into this derelict airship has gone mad with loneliness, lashing out at any living thing that comes aboard with a shriek torn from the vessel's own whistles. It only wants company; it no longer knows how to keep it alive.

To disable it, a creature can attempt DC 22 Religion (trained) or DC 20 Engineering Lore (trained) to eject the animating spirit from its mechanical shell. Creatures gain a +2 circumstance bonus on their check if they use the airship's name, Harpy's Kiss, as part of their skill check, or a +4 circumstance bonus if they utter the name "Phera Wyndslow." The haunt remains active until its spirit is ejected, the haunt is destroyed, or there are no living creatures within 30 feet.
