The Devil in our wake

318WeTDeIOWa

As night fell more people gave into the need to sleep promising themselves it was a short nap. However as the creature spread out its influence, a song of rest and respite from the nightmares of the day more townsfolk fell into a deep sleep. Although not as powerful as the others the creature was smart and patient.

Each night more and more humans, dwarves and halflings drifted into his realm. Slowly they succumbed to the soft whispers and songs he sang. The creature couldn’t help but admire its plan. With exhaustion the minds of mortals were weaker, more frail and by sending them nightmarish visions and interrupting their dreams they never fully rested. This made their minds more susceptible to the song. In fact their deprived state of mind is the only reason his song worked. His power was so low even lowly undead could best him. He needed to employ all his tricks.

But now the elf was a problem. Using herbs and tinctures she was preventing people from sleeping. What’s worse was that those who were nearly ripe for harvesting were now not exhausted at all!

She and the man lacing the normally sleep inducing food and drink needed to be dealt with. Before the heroes the Mayor sent to show up that is. Stronger willed humans with real strength would force him to work for his meals. And where was the fun in that?

Thoughts

So I have done undead a few times, I’ve done bad humans and cults but fiends only once… maybe twice. However this week it changes as a Devil has come to prey upon the town of Hildebek and it uses sleep as it’s weapon. This should be a mixture mystery and a traditional encounter and I’m excited to see what the party think of it.
