You think that the gems may correlate to the coffins, you decide to count the coffins before you take the gems. There are 23 coffins and 13 gems. Shrugging, you decide they probably don't relate in any way, you plunge your hand into the bowl to scoop out the jewels. There is a flash of purple light and you are tossed through the air, you land on your butt several feet away. The light from the bowl growing much brighter then before before suddenly vanishing. You sit there for a few minutes, shuddering in terror before you realize nothing has happened. You slowly pick yourself and walk over to the bowl. As you approach, one gem suddenly lights up and rapidly brightens to almost blinding levels. You back up slowly as the light begins forming into an ethereal humanish figure. It has very very long claws.
"WHAT CREATURE DESTURBS MY SLUMBER?" The Wraith looks at you and a impossibly wide toothy grin forms on its head.
"I've never eaten one of your species before, I wonder what YOU will taste like? The Wraith begins walking towards you, its grin growing wider and wider the closer it gets.

((Just so you know, this is by far the weakest dangerous ghost type, this would normally be enough to kill a midtier paladin, some parts of the world are heavily infested with Wraiths and their greater forms, the only reason I gave it as an encounter this early is because you have a couple ways to deal with it, I have a little booklet of like 40 or 50 different dangerous ghost types, all of them unpleasant and all of them stronger then Wraiths.))
