Spectral Archers

The ghostly archers of a long-dead garrison materialize to rain spectral bolts on anyone who approaches the gate they still guard.

Noticed with Stealth +28 (expert). To disable, a creature must make a DC 31 Intimidation (expert) check to cow the archers into fleeing, or a DC 28 Religion (expert) check to temporarily banish the spirits.

Rain of Bolts [Reaction]

Each round the haunt uses a 1-action routine to fire one bolt at every creature in a 30-foot-by-30-foot area in front of the gate. Each spectral bolt is a ranged attack at +20 dealing 2d10+11 negative, with no multiple attack penalty. Because the spectral archers fire bolts continuously, the haunt can also use the Continuous Barrage [Free Action] to fire bolts at each creature during that creature's turn.
