The Groan
the wind stops when the Groan is near
HP 18, Something's not right −d6, Morale −, Anti-presence d4 + special
Special: Defence against the Groan is rolled using Presence instead of Agility. Everyone nearby has to defend. There is no escape. Armor will not save you. When the Groan dies, there is no body. Was it even here? Test DR14 Presence or forget. It will be back.
Lore: It sounds like a weary tree slowly waving in the wind. Only — the wind stops when the Groan is near. The lake-mist along Onda's edge is the only thing that hears it coming. The mist does not warn the fishermen.
The Groan is the most explicitly metaphysical creature in EPK — no body, returns after death, attacks Presence directly. Whether it is a single recurring entity per lake or many, whether it is bound to Lake Onda or wanders, is canonically unsettled. Was it even here?
