The Quiet Twins

Two ghost-children who linger at the water's edge, hand in hand and gone.

Two children, hand in hand, watching from the far bank of the Stream — and then not there. The Quiet Twins haunt the water below Stonetop.

Sightings are uncommon, but common enough.

Appearance: Two children, a boy and a girl, dressed in the undyed wool and rough-stitched shoes of another generation. They are pale, their features indistinct at any distance past a few yards, and their eyes — when you can catch them — are the flat grey of still water. They hold hands.

HP 13 · Armor 1 · Damage icy touch d6 (hand, disadvantage, ignores armor)

Instinct: To warn of some danger (real or not)

  • mute, bound to the Stream

Moves

  • Watch what happens at the Stream (seen or unseen)
  • Manifest a ghostly form of mist, cold air (harmed only by silver or salt)

GM notes

Ghostly pair at the Stream. Group, small, spirit, undead, cautious, unnerving.
