1% Chance of Ghost Spawn

I think I'd be happy if they just left Edda's story where it is. Keep putting the odd creepy thing like this in every now and then, perhaps in more bold ways (can you imagine if she was hidden away in the crowd during the party at Ul'dah?), to remind us, but don't "resolve" the story.

If she does show up again, I'd like it to involve the party that was outside Sastasha (Hard). Rather than giving Edda a happy ending, give them one where they resolve their issues and don't go down a similar path to Edda's group, perhaps after the end up in Tam-Tara (Extreme). That would be a great way to give us a "happy" ending without breaking Horror 101 by redeeming the vengeful spirit. Leave Edda to do what she does best, any "good end" at this point should simply involve Edda not claiming more victims. Giving her a happy ending would be like giving Samara a hug after she climbs out of your TV...

@ Nalien ur idea of it is meh. I want one of that group to die too.

That would be the true horror route to go with it, which I'd actually prefer (well, not quite), but some people seem to want a happy ending. I'd just rather that happy ending not be for Edda.

Edda's character arc is one of tragedy and horror. You don't fling someone off the deep end like that and then end it with sunshine and rainbows. They milk the character now until the movies stop being popular, or they stop while they're ahead. Personally I'd like it if we got a "happy" ending for the party only to later find out things go horribly wrong, without even needing to bring Edda in at that point. Leave it up to the players own imagination at that point.

I'd say actually beating Edda would be out of the question, too. You never beat the big bad in a horror movie, at best you survive it.

The Sastasha (Hard) group was specifically a call back to Edda's group, complete with one of them saying they almost lost their heads (if I remember right). Otherwsise though their group actually got along, which is most likely why they survived. Plus not every story has a happy ending, nor has to. I mostly say this because I still want raid boss Edda because I would find it hilarious...and that might give us a good excuse to go into the Void again.
