Inspiration: Clark Ashton Smith and Korean folklore (“egg ghosts”) In the midst of this section of the Forest of Abominations is the broken altar of the ancient Bergolasti (38.28) god of wine, a statue of which rises above the altar with broken arms and a smashed face of which little but a drunken grin is visible. An inscription on the red-stained altar reads, “drink deep and spare a few drops for me.” If wine or blood (it makes no matter) are poured out on the altar a 15’ radius circle of protection forms around the altar against any who approach with hostile intent for as long as the liquid on the altar remains wet.
It would be wise to pour out this offering as a few bands of Yends can be found in the area.
Hooks:
- Who’s the god of wine? Is he as benevolent as he seems?
- Where do the Yends come from?
