The first Echoes arrive through the church’s front entrance. The double
doors shudder open as two pale figures force their way inside, giving the
party an immediate and obvious threat to contain.
R2 — Cellar Stairs
A cold draft rises from the eastern alcove as two more Echoes climb out of
the crypt below. Characters guarding the front of the church may suddenly
find themselves attacked from the side or rear.
R3 — Bell Loft and Nave
One Echo drops from the bell and choir loft while a stronger Coalesced
Echo forms in the center of the nave. This wave divides the party’s
attention and places enemies close to Sister Mirela.
R4 — Unprotected Breach
Two Echoes pass through whichever wall, doorway, or approach the party has
left least defended. They are incorporeal and do not need to use a normal
entrance. Choose a breach point that creates pressure without unfairly
surrounding the characters.
GM Note: The round markers show where each wave is expected
to appear, but they are not rigid spawn points. Adjust an arrival by a square
or two when needed to keep the encounter tense, clear, and playable.
