"Hello?" Ireena calls out.
The wind seems to pick up in response - and you hear the dissonant sound of a voice carrying on it, whispering, though you cannot understand what it's saying.
You don't know what is in front of you, but you can feel its presence is hostile. A spirit of some kind, perhaps. Your religious background makes you canny to such beings. You can tell there is definitely something there, because Ireena clearly senses it as well.
Ireena seems petrified. Does she have more reason than you to be afraid? You've been told that the Svalich woods are haunted. You nudge her, and she begins taking steps back, reaching to her waist for the handle of her rapier
Everything in these woods has been hostile to you thus far. But if this spirit attacks, how do you fight it? You have never fought something incorporeal before.
"Hello?" call out, but there is once again no response.
When you look in the direction of the presence, you can sense a distorted face in your mind's eye, the twisted visage of a human, mangled and in pain. You feel a pang of fear in your stomach, and you understand, as if telepathically, that this presence wants to kill you.
There is a vengeful spirit blocking your way. What do you do?
Suggestions:
>Attack it with your longsword.>Attempt to understand the spirit, so you might calm it or allow it to move on. (Religion, DC 20 / miss first turn if check fails)>Say something specific to the spirit. (specify)>Simply run away.>Use Channel Divinity (1/1) for Turn Undead or Radiance of the Dawn.
