A gruesome sight
-
Stacked up on Calanters road next to the hangman engraving are the skinned and mutilated remains of dozens of bears, wolves, and even birds. The keen eye of any healers can make out from some of the bones and skulls that they were beaten to death before being skinned.
-
Outside the ruins of blisterfoot inn within the bloody circle of Bhaal the remains of dozens of animals, bears, wolves, deer, around the outside are scattered the remains of a dozen Satyr's, all torn apart. Atop the pile sits the bloodied corpse of a White stag, its mouth agape. A horrific offering indeed.
-
Yet more animal and fey remains are heaped upon the offering, the rotting meat mingling with the removed glands of dozens of stink beetles, creating a miasma of stench.
Atop the pile, within the now almost unrecognisable mouth of the white stag, a single red rose.
-
More bears, larger still than the ones previously heaped upon the offering, now human and elf remains are added, one mans head appearing to have been twisted off.
A second white stag, a rose in its mouth, is placed next to the other.
-
[[A rumbling can be felt by any traveling the road near the old Blisterfoot inn. The wretched smell coming from the gruesome offerings wafts but something more tangy and acidic also assaults the nostrils. Strange burrowed holes have appeared near the entrance to Deadwell and some of the offerings appear to be gnawed upon by large mandibles.]]
-
[All along the Dread Road, formerly known as Calantar's way, slaughtered predators are animated and stalk the path. Most recently an Ankheg, a Panther, and a bear wander around the old bridge, and a circle of a laughing skull continues to spit out undead rats, wolves, horses, and other foul abominations. It is clear the more animals come to the Dread Road, the more darkness and rotting zombies are made]
-
The beaten form of another white stag is thrown onto the offering, along with the severed heads of several men, kobolds, and goblins.
-
More White Stags, from all over the region are found mutilated and placed in the circle. As more animals come to the immediate area the carved up corpses of multiple large grizzly bears and other assorted wildlife, are heaped upon the circle, their blood mingling with that of the many orcs, goblins, human, and elven heads, limbs and organs.
-
[Watchful druids and other sentient creatures of nature take note of the carnage with fury and dismay.
The killers of the wildlife are known, and hunted...]
-
Possibly in direct defiance, dozens of new animal remains are heaped on the pile. Predators ranging from Dire wolves and Worgs, to large Grizzlies and even Dire Bears. Their blood and entrails mingling with those of dozens of orcs, and infected humanoids.
-
Thrown onto the offering, along with an assortment of lions, wolves and bear hides, the head and hide of a massive White Doe, and the bizarre green pelt of a Cooshee. Impaled on a stick at the side of the circle the beast's heart.
-
The hides of an ancient dire bear, a White Stag, and dozens of assorted large woodland predators are heaped upon the offering, the scattered remains of an Earth Drake join them.
-
A half dozen heads of Grey Renders are added to the offering, along with the heads and hides of two massive dire bears.
Later added into the centre of the offering is the remains of another Hullack White Doe
