    "Hey, Wally DM, --folks here. And today we're gonna take a look at a hot trap video." :-D
    It's important for us to remember that creatures/monsters can be used as traps.
    I agree with offering ways to entreat with the spirit or give it resolution, but I don't like the idea of having it be completely invulnerable and immune to effects or attacks. I would clue to the players that it's tough and nasty and clue to them that they could attempt to pacify it by "aiding" its body or appease it by avenging it, but I would not remove the players' option of directly dealing with it via magics or attacks.

      lol, I see what you did there with that introduction. :-)
      And, yep, I can totally see allowing the characters to try and do things with magic or attacks, for sure. Especially the clever uses of spells or abilities, I always like to reward those, if possible.
      Great feedback as always David, hope you are doing well! Cheers!

      @@WallyDM Thanks, Wally.
      I don't know if you or the other viewers of this video have run "Dragon of Icespire Peak", but it has a similar but opposite spirit encounter that I'm reminded of. There's a dungeon containing a banshee at the deep end of it, and the official module just treats it as a hostile monster combat trap where it jumps the party with no options other than killing it (or full retreat). And of course, a banshee could TPK any party that has unlucky rolls on the surprise wail save. I didn't like that, nor the fact that the module didn't include a way for the players to learn why the elf banshee was there in a Dwarven complex. So I edited the dungeon, put in rumors and hooks about it and physical clues in the dungeon that they could find and investigate, ghostly visions if they interacted with certain clues, and as a result allowed them the opportunity to choose trying to persuade and assuage the spirit or attack. (My party was split about what to do; they physically split to different locations where one was hostile and fell to the wail while in her bedroom nearby another was attempting to communicate and put it at peace.)

    an interesting trap. I like the fact you can't just attack the haunt to try and make it go away, but have to actual consider doing something about it, or, I guess, I super high level cleric or priest might be able to do something, but be expensive.
    Could be a fun way to introduce a Ghost Busters like group in the world too, hmmmmm

      _Who ya gonna call?_
      And yep, its interesting with the written solutions. I will probably make the results of the Exorcism and Soothing a bit more rewarding when I run it, but all-in-all, a good encounter to use on the go.
      Thanks for watching, my friend!

    Excellent encounter. I wouldn't necessarily call this a trap, but it works well for a couple different things I was working on. Maybe I need to start working on them again.
