03 Agenda Suicide
you'll never know how close you came to a random encounter. except that now i told you.
Full benefits of long rest, but the paranoia is kicking in. I'm railroading a bit, you're at 35, if you want to go back up the stairs and explore area 29 just say so.
You rest up. No concept of time. You feel better, while at the same time more hopeless that you'll never escape.
You take the stairs down.
Deeper.
The ghostly chant fills this room. Characters can discern a dozen or so voices saying, over and over, “All we want are pretty little homes.”
The cult amassed several “relics” that it used in its rituals. These items are stored in thirteen niches along the walls:
A small, mummified, yellow hand with sharp claws on a loop of rope - this artifact calls out to any evil aligned character "Pick me up, put me on."
A knife carved from a human bone
A dagger with a rat’s skull set into the pommel
A bloodshot eyeball, the shape of the iris is like a reptile's eye, but the size is human - this artifact beckons to any evil aligned character "With me you will see true."
An aspergillum carved from bone
A folded cloak made from stitched ghoul skin
A desiccated frog lashed to a stick
A bag full of bat guano
A hag’s severed finger
A 6-inch-tall wooden figurine of a mummy, its arms crossed over its chest
An iron pendant adorned with a devil’s face
The shrunken, shriveled head of a halfling
A small wooden coffer containing a dire wolf’s withered tongue
A closed iron gate waits to the south where the chanting emanates.
