The Light Bauble- A Magic item for 5E

This little bauble is handy for sending into the darkest corners. Better yet, it’s like a magical voice mail, allowing you to send a message to your companions.

A Family Gathering

The other pools were largely vacant as the horrors scurried over each other to glimpse into the still waters. Each one appeared as the shriveled head of an elf, it’s eyes sewn shut. A series of spider legs sprang forth from amidst it’s stringy hair, making a continuous tapping sound as they moved over the hard stone beneath them. Fleshy Stalks extended from their mouths, ending in orange globes that served as the monsters’ compound eyes. Every so often, one would make a sound not unlike a child’s laughter.

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.
