EFFECT

When this haunt is triggered, the face of Old Ember Maw seems to animate into a leering skull-like visage made of metal and bars. It roars, then a fiery tongue lashes out from its maw to strike at one target within 30 feet, attacking as a scorching ray (+3 ranged touch attack, 4d6 fire damage). The haunt continues to attack each round as long as targets remain within the room. This haunt takes damage from cold as well as from positive energy effects.

DESTRUCTION

Benjen’s bones, or what’s left of them (parts of a skull, some ribs, and a few finger bones) must be sifted out of the ashes deep in the furnace (DC 20 Perception check to locate them). The bones feel hot to the touch—hurling them into any large body of water staunches Benjen’s wrath and destroys the haunt.
