37 views • 7 years ago • 1:18:41 Temple of Shennog by Stephen J. Grodzicki. For several years you have traveled and adventured to make a name for yourself, but on your triumphant return home it was not celebration but sadness for you. Your young sister Tessa has fallen mad and worsens by the day. How may days of drinking and woe follow before in your drunken state you tear open your adventurer’s sack to see an ancient map said to leads to the temple of Shennog. Agape, you stare at the parchment, remembering the legend of the Goddess Shennog and how she cures those struck by madness. Leading Tessa by the arm you have traveled many weeks until deep in a secluded valley, set atop a tall plinth of grey stone, you see the crumbling remains of an ancient shrine. The ruin is marked with a giant spider icon, holy symbol of the deity Shennog. Themes: weird, old-school, player-skill vs character skill, horror, tomb raiding, religion, demons, mental illness
