D8 EVENT
1
A stone statue of an angel knelt in prayer. If a player picks it up, it
opens it’s eyes, revealing black
holes. It screams, revealing a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, then it
blinks out of existence. Player
is FRIGHTENED for the next ten minutes, and keeps seeing the statue
hissing at them in different
corners of the room. Player must run from wherever they see the statue.
2
A strange leather egg with crosshatching on the top. About the size of an
urn. It feels oddly warm to
the touch...if a player touches it, the top flaps unfurl open. DEX SAVING
THROW DC 13. On a fail, a
CORE SPAWN CRAWLER flies out and gets a SURPRISE ATTACK on the player.
3
A rusted birdcage with a strange figurine in it - a humanoid shape made
from twisted vines, curled
in on itself in a foetal position. If a player touches it, WIS save DC
15. Otherwise, they are overcome
with an intense, crushing feeling of loneliness and despair. Lasts 10
minutes.
4 A satchel sized bag with a strange patchwork on the cover. Almost looks
like a face...did it just wink
at me? (It is a BAG OF DEVOURING)
5
A huge tome, bound in skin covered leather, a grimacing face in the
cover. The pages are yellowed
and crackle with age, covered in runes and arcane markings. If the player
opens the book, an ALLIP
springs out. It fills the book-opener’s mind with visions of a woman
crying in the dark, bleeding and
bound in chains.
6
A spinning wheel with a wickedly sharp needle on the end of the spool. If
a player approaches the
wheel, CHARISMA SAVE DC 17. On a fail, the player is hypnotised by the
needle, and reaches out
to touch it. It pricks them, drawing blood. The player must make a WISDOM
SAVING THROW DC 10
every 10 minutes of in-game time. On a fail, their hand becomes possessed
and hostile, trying to kill
the player. Use stats for a CRAWLING CLAW. (Think the Evil Dead!)
7 A strange robe covered in patches of different items. It is a ROBE OF
USEFUL ITEMS.
8 A beautiful clockwork prosthetic leg. It can be used as a BLUDGEONING
WEAPON, and can cast the
spell JUMP once per SHORT REST. (DM, it belonged to a previous
guest/victim: Naples)

There are three trees that act as portals to the WITCH QUEEN’S LAIR; two
OUTSIDE the cabin, and one
in the BASEMENT. At a glance, these trees look exactly the same as other
trees in the wood. However,
on closer inspection (PERCEPTION DC 15, or if spells like DETECT MAGIC
are used), it is revealed
that these trees have MINOR ILLUSION cast on them. If this spell is
removed, it reveals gaping holes
in the base of tree trunks that look like bloodied mouths, dripping with
ocre goo. If players step through
the portals, have them make a CONSTITUTION CHECK DC 15, otherwise they
will become disoriented
when they arrive on the other side and are knocked PRONE.
