27. SACRIFICE CAVE

Cave: Chilly and damp, high ceiling (30'). Dripping stalactites. Pool: Crimson water, murky and still. Smell: Coppery, metallic tang.

  • Spirits. Dozens of smoky, humanlike shadows flicker at the edge of darkness. If the light ever goes out, they descend with ghostly shrieks, dealing damage/round to each character.
  • Pool. 20' deep. Cursed water clouded with blood. DC 12 CON for each round of contact or temporarily lose 1 point of Wisdom (heals after rest). If 0 Wisdom, permanently become catatonic.
  • On Bottom. Graveyard of dozens of human and bull skeletons. Among them are 200 gp, a Wand of Blind/Deafen, three onyx bull statuettes (15 gp each), Boots of the Cat, and a tiny bottle that houses the soul of a mighty sorcerer named Malfune.
