Encounters in a Spooky, Dark, Forest
-
- A mysterious hermit in rags looms over the body of a hind whose heart she has cut out and is currently eating.
- A well-dressed man leading a group of glazed-eyed people passes the party. The man wishes to pass in peace, but one of his followers is known to a member of the party, a friend or family member, perhaps.
- An entire village where people wear fashions that are at odds with the current era. If the party stays for the night, the village will be gone in the morning, along with one of the characters. When the village appears at sundown, the character will reappear, believing him or herself to be a member of the village.
- It turns out that Heart Truffles, a local mushroom delicacy that is currently popular in roadside taverns for miles around, grow exclusively on rotting corpses.
- Shrieking bats swoop down in the night and try to feast on the blood of the party or their mounts.
