Ghost Bride (Heroes)

Ghost Bride is Haunt 20. This page is for the Heroes. "“An apparition in white lace shimmers into view. 'You’ve left me alone these long years,' speaks a feminine voice, 'but I waited. For you. For our wedding.' The ghost glides towards one of your fellow explorers and says, 'Once you are dead like me, we can be together… forever.' ""The ghost fades, but the faint sound of an organ playing a wedding march sighs gently through the house.'"

Right Now

 * If the Crypt isn't in the house, search the room stack for it and put it in the basement. Then shuffle the room stack.
 * Put a pentagonal item token in the Crypt to represent the Corpse

What You Know About the Bad Guys
The Ghost Bride thinks that one of the explorers is her new groom.

You Win When...
... you find the wedding ring (the Ring card) and the body of the real groom (the Corpse token), then present them to the Ghost Bride in the Chapel before she marries your friend.

How to Stop the Wedding
You must discover the groom's name and his buried body. Then you must take the Corpse and the Ring to the Chapel so you can put the Ghost Bride's soul to rest.

To do all this, you must follow these steps, in order. Each hero can attempt only one step each turn. Once you have the Corpse and the Ring in the Chapel, the Ghost Bride will appear there and finally rest in peace.
 * 1) You can attempt a Knowledge roll of 5+ while in the Bedroom, Dining Room or Library, or while carrying the book (her old diary), to figure out the real groom's name.
 * 2) You can then attempt a Knowledge roll 4+ in the Crypt to locate the body of the real groom.
 * 3) Once the body is discovered, you can attempt a Might roll of 4+ to disinter it.
 * 4) Once the body is disinterred, take the Corpse token and carry it to the Chapel. The body is heavy; while you're carrying it, entering a room counts as 2 spaces of movement. You can trade the Corpse token to another explorer as you would pass an item.
 * 5) Carry the Ring to the Chapel. It doesn't matter whether the body or the Ring reaches the Chapel first.

Special Attack Rules
The Ghost Bride makes Sanity attacks. She cannot be damaged or stunned by any means, except for Sanity attacks from the Ring.

If You Win...
"'Crypt dirt cakes your neck and grits your eyes. but you found what you sought: the shriveled. mummified corpse of a long buried groom. You force the ring onto its fragile finger. Finally, you heave your burden across the threshold of the chapel, where it falls with a sickening crunch, scattering bones and hair.""The apparition in white lace appears and hovers over the corpse. From the broken form rises an apparition in black. Linking hands, the two fade slowly, lovingly, from existence.'"
