From yesterday, for my JJ Memorial Game Jam submission:
The Temple of Salvation
The Temple of Salvation is a demon-worshipping cult that masquerades as the followers of a charitable god. They lure unsuspecting poor and needy with promises of food, shelter, and charity only to capture, imprison, and finally feed them to their master through the Unholy Pool.
The Unholy Pool
The Unholy Pool shows a leaden, black surface that reflects no light until it is touched when the liquid turns clear and reflects, not this world, but a mirror world beyond that is the twisted prison of the Demon Lord.
The pool acts as a one way portal to that realm: anything submerged into the pool passes through to the other realm.
The water in the pool is tainted. Anyone drinking from the pool is affected by it. Roll 1d6:
- Grows bony ridges over eyes, eyes grow unnaturally large and amphibian-like
- Skin turned mottled and slimy; skin thickens; grows warts.
- Tears of the Submerged God: eyes seep a milky white, poisonous substance.
- Tongue elongates and becomes toad-like.
- Hands and feet become webbed and amphibian-like; five fingers become three, five toes become three;.
- Song of the Submerged God: loses ability to speak but can chant in low, rumbling tones; can only speak the language of frogs and toads.
Tainted toads live in the pool. The cult harvests poison from the toads’ skins to use as hallucinogens.
