Mysterious Corpses

Mysterious Corpses Random Table 1. This elf wears tattered rags that were once silken finery. The right side of the corpse’s torso is just as shredded; a bloody flower of sorts dotted with shades of their pulverized ribs. One leg is caught in the knotted branches of the tree the elf dangles upside down from. The other hindlimb is caught around eight feet further up where a lone crow pecks at the rotting meat. The corpse’s expression is one of serenity despite the grisly circumstances. The crows have already claimed one of its eyes and their sun-spun hair is tangled with forest debris. A collection of silver bracelets studded with gems cluster on one of their wrists. 2. While the human’s body lies in the ditch, it doesn’t appear that they died there. The grass on the nearby bank is glued down by long-dried viscera and bug-colonized guts. If one follows the blood trail back they can even find the murder weapon; a shattered wagon wheel casually resting against a rock. The cadaver is d...

Nightmare Fuel

Nightmare Fuel Random Table 1. The centipede is talking to you again. As usual all you do is listen, because it ate and replaced your tongue long ago. It explains that the old man back in the tavern that kept looking at you knows what you did. The elder is going to go to the town guards and tell them, unless you stop him. Your hands are bloody.

You wake up feeling lonely as if you've lost your closest friend. 2. No one at the party has a face, only masks. Oh, they look like faces that can smile, laugh, even cry. But you can tell they are just masks because the sockets are hollow and the chin is attached to a stick they hold with their sallow-skinned hands. Your mask is broken, though. You see, the stick is missing so you have to hold it directly to your raw, flensed face. It...

The Teeth Sisters & Other Crones

The Teeth Sisters and Other Crones Random Table 1. A giant caterpillar crawls into view. On its back is a large mushroom hut with a red roof speckled white. Above the huts door is a sign of a coin pouch spilling silver teeth. A crone, Ultah Silverteeth , calls from a window to the party. She claims she has the best tobacco in all the land. Construct butterflies with silver filagree wings flit about the structure. One of the blends she sells allows the smoker to re-rolled a single hit die on a short rest as they smoke it. 2. A huge stone golem lumbers toward the party. It doesn't have a head, but a square, stone building on its shoulders and hunched back instead. Above the buildings pitted, wooden door hands a sign of a coin pouch spilling stone teeth. A crone, Illima Stoneteeth , peeks out of the door and claims she has a fine selection of armor and weapons heroes might need. Stone ravens circle high above. There is an ancient axe that she displays made of smoked glass that ...
