What should I prep first? (Just ask).

I learned this from Ben Robbins.   No, no. Not directly. I just read his blog. I’m not that cool.   It was his write up of the first West Marches campaign. I read it years ago and its stuck with me ever since.   Last week, I started a new DnD campaign. It’s the […]

Where do Dwarves come from? (d10)

Where did Dwarves come from? (1d10) The stone beneath the earth is constantly in motion. Earthquakes happen when the plates collide. You really think it could be doing all that bumping and grinding without something popping out?(I’m sure I could have stated this one much more poetically). The elves of old were obsessed with beauty […]

Playing DnD to prepare for combat

I sit here this morning, dappled sun coming in the window.   I have the house to myself, so Amon Armath blares from my laptop’s speakers as my two cats chase each other around the house, pouncing and rolling.   Reader, I have a bit of a tangent today. It’s about cats.   And kicking […]

What can we learn from clickbait?

Doctors hate this one weird trick.   The shocking truth behind bread.   He looked under his daughter’s bed. You won’t believe what he found.   The internet is full of clickbait headlines. One would think that we’re all too smart for them, but let’s be honest – they exist for a reason.   But […]

Where do elves go when they die? (d10)

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.

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.
