Tuesday brings with it the Dark Prophets of Shar. This ellusive band of zealots believe that Shar to be the true mistress of magic and that her war with the bringers of light will come to an end. What is more disturbing is that they believe that the party are the key to Shar’s victory. But enough of that. To find out more let’s sit down, grab a coffee and let’s roll into this nights NPC introduction!
The Dark Prophets
327TuTDaPr
Now this week is a bit of an interesting one as the person behind the hood can be anyone. There isn’t a specific singular bad guy but many who believe the word of the prophecy to the letter. But this makes them more dangerous as there isn’t a single head of the cult but many.
So tonight I introduce the Dark Prophets, a relatively old group dedicated to spreading the word of Shar and working in the shadows, the darkness if you will, to do her bidding.
The Dark Prophets
As the party stared at the person before them several figures dressed in full body lengthy dark robes appeared. Some had a hood to cover most of their face but a few had ornate horrific masks. Each mask depicted the artwork found upon the scroll in front of them. As they pushed through the crowd they stopped a respectful dozen feet away or so and dropped to their knees and began to openly praise Shar. Moments later priests, clerics and holy people from Selune appeared from the temple itself to investigate the gathering just as the light begin to dim.
The congregation of these dark prophets was beginning to dim the light of the sun. A reverberation of energy whirled around the gathering as the combined energy muffled even noise itself. Soon guards appeared and began to try and break up the gathering as the common folk and merchants alike fled from the party and the robed figures. But as soon as one of them was grabbed by a guard each of them vanished in a cloud of darkness.
Normality
Soon normality crept back in with the sun pushing away the darkness. The priests and clerics of Selune chanted a few prayers as they ran down the steps and surrounded the party. The residual dark energy lifted and both light and sound returned as normal.
“You lot. You better come with us. You have some explaining to do” the Guards said to them, hands on weapons as they looked at the scroll that lay on the ground. “Sisters and brothers of Selune. Can you attend us as well. This looks beyond us.”
Thanks for dropping by tonight. While no singular NPCs were identified rest assured as I will have a selection to select from for this weekends writeup. Now while I can’t wait for this adventure to see the light, or dark for that matter, we still have more days to go. So don’t forget to come back each night for more content. And as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
