Crossroads Guardian
A spirit bound to an unfinished duty can't be permanently slain, reforming to block the way with sword and mind-biting wounds.
A crossroads guardian is a spirit bound to a place, an object, or an unfinished task — a silent sentinel that cannot truly die while its charge remains undischarged. It bars the way with greatsword in hand, and the wounds it leaves bite at the mind as much as the body.
In play
Primal Purpose A crossroads guardian can't be permanently destroyed while its need remains unfulfilled. If killed, it reforms within 1 day near the object it guards, near someone under a geas to fulfill its need, or at the site of its original appearance. Once the guardian's need is fulfilled, the crossroads guardian dissipates naturally within a week unless it finds a new quest.
