Whew. Nineteen friggin rooms.
The Under is… well, under the Ruined Temple. This is where the Ones Below (now Plague Cultists) live.
There’s a hidden entrance outside the temple that leads to area U1, but U5 also has a ladder that goes up to the Ruined Temple.
I’m dividing this one into two emails because there’s kinda two sections to this. The northern part of the Under is where the Plague Cultists live, led by Father Bone.
The Southern portion is dangerous. This is where The Lurker in Shadow lives, Father Bone’s former wife. Now it’s a demon that actively hunts whatever comes to the south, but more on that next email.
A reminder – this PDF is SUPER rough. In this step, I’m just “getting it down on paper”, as they say.
Let me know what you think!

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

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.
