A Lone Survivor

As the PCs move through the forest, they hear heavy, exhausted breathing nearby. If they follow the sound, they find a lone survivor. Their pole-arm is cracked in two and they are heavily injured. Their name is Merro (though their nickname is Porridge, which they’ll mention later, if they live long enough) and the rest of their band has been killed by goblins. They’ve been running for six hours.

If the PCs roll 2d6 under Wisdom, they’ll hear 3d4 goblins in the distance. Anyone that speaks Goblin will hear them talking about the brutish warrior that killed their chief. It seems they’re still on Merro’s trail…

Digging in the Sand

Bones. So many bones. How many people have been buried here?

You find a rusty long sword and a small, golden vulture head worth 250 gp.

Red Sand

The sand here on the edge of the sacrificial ground is loose and looks recently churned.

What happens if I dig under it?

Vulture Priest

The Vulture Priests are the enemy of knowledge and enlightenment. They seek to bring the eternal silence, the end of all things. Decay and obedience is their only god.

Immune to the Divine: The spells and powers of clerics and paladins have no effect on them.
Weapons: They frequently use wickedly curved daggers, which they use for sacrificial purposes.
Soul Clouders: There is a 10% chance that any Vulture Priest can use the sleep spell once per day. The targets are still awake, but they are beset by such a deep depression that it has the same effect as sleep. They may only watch what unfurls around them.
