Spoil the loaf, taint the wine

Omens

0 of 6 encountered

1. A smug musician, drumming. He sings “the great winged one grows, and we are the feast” but he insists it’s just a song.
2. A flock of various birds, grounded. They look to be grovelling toward the darkest part of the sky. They scatter if disturbed.
3. A long table is laid out, commoners gathered for a feast. Every bowl is filled with worms, which people reluctantly eat by the handful. They say the Feast of Worms will deny the Bat its food.
4. Exhausted farmers gather pigs, cows, and sheep. They’re heading to a nearby lake for a great sacrifice, hoping the bloody water will sate the Bat’s wicked hunger.
5. A crowd are lighting fires outside a cave, the Bat hiding within. They aim to smoke it out. The Bat eventually emerges, and fights only enough to allow it to flee.
6. Wings broken, dragged in chains, the Bat is being taken to the Seat of Power to be judged for its long list of crimes against the Realm (see opposite).
