Pool Party [glamer] - A river spirit is surrounded by the victims it kills. From outside of the water the victims and the spirit appear as though they have taken on aquatic forms and are enjoying life beneath the surface of the water.

For creatures that are inside of the water, the skeletal victims reach for them and pull them under. The victims cannot be attacked. They deal 17 poise damage each turn [persistent].

Boss Actions

Rattle 'Em Boys [recharge] [companion] - Once the jig is up and creatures realize the true nature of the river spirit, let 2 skeletal victims walk free, functioning as skeletons. They gain the river spirit's teamwork feats and a +4 bonus to grapple attacks. Water's Caress [elusive] - Move up to 20 feet and automatically land a caress attack when a creature is grappled. Usable 1/turn.

Weaknesses/Deep Lore

Temptation [charm] - A river spirit has an aura that compels creature to approach the water's edge (will negates). Each turn a creature stands next to the water, they are unknowingly drained 1 as it caresses them. The effects of the drain are not apparent to onlookers or the creature until the river spirits hold is broken. Each turn a tempted creature may attempt a new will save to realize what is happening.

If creatures that are not tempted happen to pass a religion check, they automatically learn of this quality.
