Marching Order: Quick and Dirties are short, no-nonsense adventures that fold out into a 12-panel poster. Get in, pillage what you can, and try to get out alive, all in a single session. From escorting knights to robbing wizards, they’re great for a quick game night treat. Oh, and don’t worry—just like any Marching Order delve, they have plenty of bullshit.

“Oh, aye, we escaped with our lives, but not much else. Most of us only suffered bruises and scratches, but poor Brother Julbert has lost his mind and now draws strange symbols with his own shit! I weep for my brothers! This is the work of a great evil, come to rally against Jillum, our God of Light.”

Three nights ago, around midnight, the monks from the Priory of Red Pietor came running out of the woods, screaming of demons and devils. Such behavior is common enough on a Tuesday, but they seemed to be stone-cold sober. There’s been a lot of blathering since then that the mad Prior has allowed unclean things to take up residence in the small building.

None of that concerns you, however.

What does concern you is that the priory has pretty much been abandoned with all its riches still inside. It’s a shame to let it all go to waste, innit? So get your gear together and explore what secrets the brothers left in the woods.

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.

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.
