Disrupting the ball may anger the spirits, leading to a confrontation with the ghostly orchestra. |
| 2 | Weeping Ghost | The ghost of a woman roams the halls, her mournful cries echoing through the stone corridors. She weeps for her lost love, a knight who perished defending the castle.

However, angering him could lead to a deadly duel, with the painting acting as a portal to a deadly alternate dimension. |
| 4 | Living Armor | A suit of armor stands guard, seemingly inert. However, if disturbed, it springs to life, challenging intruders with unparalleled combat skills.

| 13 | Wailing Banshee | A banshee’s wail echoes through the halls, foretelling death. Encountering her requires careful negotiation or powerful magic to survive.

| 16 | Poltergeist Infestation | Poltergeists wreak havoc, throwing objects and causing chaos. Dealing with them requires patience and calmness.
