## Log
We close and lock the door on the red wispy things, and they are held in place by the runes that light up when I use the holy symbol.
These things are Sin Eaters.
- They Stupefy
- They reproduce this way
- Level 4 creatures.
- They are vulnerable to magical light. Anything with a magical light counts as a magical weapon against them.
- It's resistant to many types of damage except positive damage.
- Doubly resistant to nonmagical damage.
-
The Huntress
- She looked like a spirit. [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]] got a bonus to identify her because like [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]], she is a phantom - a spirit, not undead. Like [[Ashnefrotty|Ash]], phantoms are spirits that have unfinished business and can't move forward. They have two destinies if they can't find their way back to the river of life:
- They go insane.
- They become undead, corrupted by their stay here. They hate all life. Ash is stabilised by my life force. Eventually he'll have to find
We kill all the Chads (Sin Eaters) by separating them and killing them off one by one.
[[Vayle]] figures out that usually, if you kill a phantom, they just continue along their way. However, in the Huntress's case, she looks like she's hexed. If she dies, then she'll never go to the afterlife.
[[Vayle]] disguises themself and pretends to be [[Otari Ilvashti]]. They succeed!! [[Esefna Menhemes|Esefna]] believes them.
[[Vayle]] says:
- [[Vol Rajani]] is killing people. [[Esefna Menhemes|Esefna]] seems like she doesn't want to kill [[Vol Rajani]], her friend, but she will if she thinks she needs to.

[[Ashnefrotty|Ash]] still tries to reason with her and half gets through. He senses that she's locked in time, and she's doing something that she was doing before she died. It's the hardest thing she's ever done. But then her face hardens - she's committed.
There's a locket in the coffin that is the source of the guilt. Inside it is a photo of [[Otari Ilvashti]] and [[Esefna Menhemes|Esefna]] together. [[Grumblebum]] says that the locket was the focus of [[Esefna Menhemes|Esefna]]'s guilt, and the guilt enchanted it. It was probably a different kind of magic item before [[Esefna Menhemes|Esefna]]'s guilt.
I got the [Desolation Locket](https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=2228)!
Cloak of the Huntress gives you ranger's abilities:
- *Hunter's Edge*: allows you to mark a target.
- Scythe on its clasp ([[Erastil]])
- Bonus when hunting your prey
- *Hunt Prey, Precision* from the ranger's class. When you hit a hunted prey, you deal precision damage.
