cannibals paint their gruesome

B3. Butchering Room. (20’x30’)
The savory aroma of meat and
cooked herbs mingles with smoke
as a butcher cleaves a cadaver
on a wooden stump. A large pot of
stew bubbles over a cooking fire
near the center of the room, next
to numerous corpses.

six cannibals work by

subjects before boiling and
scraping them. On the east side
of the room is a large bubbling
vat and racks of leathers being
stretched.

Soft snoring accompanies the
crackling of a fire where four
cannibals are nestled in soft
mounds of scalps. Bones and
other anatomical oddities litter
the floor.

covered in golden paint

B6. Ritual Chamber. (20’x30’)
Unintelligible murmuring fills the
passageway leading up to the
ritual chamber, where 2d6
cannibals are perched on
weathered pews, scrutinizing two
priestesses, painted in gold,
presiding over a ritual. A shackled
man lies on the floor where a
large circle with an eye has been
drawn in white chalk.
→ The priestesses conduct
their rhythmic seance in the
nude, calling to their
onlookers playfully; they wield
jewel encrusted kris knives
(60s).
→ Ralr, the bound man, is the
son of the barbarian chieftain
(C) and a proud warrior. His
eyes have been removed; his
hands and feet crushed.

weeping sores where their flames
meet flesh.

expertise.
1. Meat Sculptor. You possess the
ability to shape and manipulate
flesh in ways even a necromancer
Mörk Borg
would not dare to dream of. Use
your needle and four spools of
bloody sinew to alter the size,
shape, or appearance of a
creature. At a distance, the
Sample
changes are convincing, but they
don’t pass close inspection.
2. Paternal Stitching. You are
paternal in your macabre obses-
sion. Use your needle and six
spools of bloody sinew to stitch
together multiple bodies to
create yourself a child. They
attack and defend with a DR12,
have 8 HP, and behave like a
petulant adolescent; Presence
DR8 to command or be rebuffed:
“You aren’t even my real mother!”
3. Gutwrench Cutters. The
squalid package is delivered to
you by a mangy goblin who
curses the name of your
benefactor. The giant shears deal
2d6 damage. On rolling two 6s,
the opponent is cut in half, dying
in 1d4 rounds. The shears also
reduce the difficulty of collecting
spools of bloody sinew from DR12
to DR10. Should they be broken or
lost, your benefactor sends a
replacement in 1d4 days.

4. Tainted Needlesmith. You
create armor from curtains of
flesh taken from the hides of the
dead. Use your needle, four
spools of bloody sinew, and a
body to create a set of medium
armor (Tier 2, -1d4 damage).
Taking 6 or more damage in a
single round destroys it. You do
not suffer Agility penalties while
wearing armor you fabricate.
5. Cruel Seamster. Your morbid
machinations have led you to
experiment on the living. Use your
needle and three spools of
bloody sinew to perform surgery,
reattaching a lost limb, or
attaching additional ones. DR14
Toughness or the limb is rejected,
causing the victim of your mal-
practice to become infected and
the the surgery to fail.
1 arm: Strength +1.
2 arms: Additional attack.
1 leg: Agility +1
2 legs: Agility +2
1 head: Presence +1. (Retains
individuality if attached within 1
minute of dying)
2 heads: Daily Powers difficulty
reduced to DR10.
6. Patchwork Physician. You are
covered in a mosaic of skin;
patches of varying sizes and
shades. Use your needle and one
spool of bloody sinew to stop
bleeding, or two spools and a
piece of foreign skin to mend
flesh wounds; heals 1d6 HP.
The first time a Flesh Weaver gets
better, gain one additional
expertise. During subsequent
improvements, they can choose
to reroll one of these.
