The Forgotten Spirit

Tipo ADVERSARYGrau de conflito Combat conflict rank 10 Intrigue conflict rank 4

Descrição

The Forgotten Spirit has been driven into an allconsuming rage by centuries of neglect. Its original purpose or nature is no longer clear; whatever beneficence it once may have offered has been replaced by bitterness and anger. That said, unless a visitor to the Lost Shrine passes through the torii gate, the Forgotten Spirit remains a pervasive and disturbing background presence. If the visitor passes through the gate, however, the Forgotten Spirit appears in the shrine as a huge spider. The size of a pony, it is black, chitinous, and hairy—similar to a tarantula—with a cluster of glowing, reddish eyes and jagged, clashing mandibles. Unless the visitor immediately accedes to the spirit’s demands for worship, it attacks. Worshipping it as described in The Practice of Worship (see page 37) mollifies it, at least until the visitor tries to cease worshipping or leave, whereupon it again attacks. If the visitor defeats the Forgotten Spirit, it vanishes, but it returns to the Lost Shrine a day later, apparently unharmed. It may be possible to pacify the spirit for a longer period or perhaps even put it to rest entirely, but determining how to do so requires considerable research—its affinity for spiders may be a place to begin such study— and would likely involve a specially designed ritual conducted by an appropriate holy person.
