Attack Form (d8)

d8 Result

1
  1. Incorporeal bludgeoning (no effect)

2
  1. Sanctimonious ranting and raving (no effect)

3
  1. Presents holy symbol (generally ineffectual, but may be able to turn thoroughly evil or chaotic characters)

4
  1. Utters a curse (affects one target per use). The target must save versus spells. If the save fails, the target is cursed such that he or she will be wracked with pain (-2 to hit rolls and saving throws; unable to cast spells) upon attacking a holy man of the Church or doing harm to Church property. (The curse is permanent.)

5
  1. Touch causes fear. Save versus spells or flee the abbey grounds. The aversion to the place remains for 1d6 days.

6
  1. Touch drains STR: 1d3 points per hit. (Lost STR recovers at a rate of one point per day of rest.)

7
  1. Touch causes aging: 1d10 years.

8
  1. Touch drains one energy level.

Wish (d8)

d8 Result

1
  1. That the garden should be returned to its former beauty.

2
  1. That the monk’s skull be placed in the undercroft in the crypt, among his brothers.

3
  1. That the remains of all brothers slain during the sacking should be given a proper burial.

4
  1. That a letter be delivered. (This is, of course, not possible, by normal means, as the letter is destroyed and its recipient long since dead.)

5
  1. That a great concert should be played in the chapel.

6
  1. That the spirit of St Clewd be rescued from its limbo state in the Otherwold and put to rest. (This monk’s wish, though it may sound obscure and perhaps irrational, is actually based in truth. The monk has seemingly accessed secrets in its wanderings in the world of the dead.

7
  1. That the walls of the chapel be painted with whisky.

8
  1. That the monk’s own remains be located and given a decent burial in the abbey graveyard.

Secret (d8)

d8 Result

1
  1. The ruination of the abbey was brought about by a forbidden ritual, conducted in the crypt.

2
  1. The abbey was founded on the actual site of St Clewd’s death. The ring of standing stones was (naturally) destroyed, but the pagan power of the site is believed to be intact.

3
  1. The chamber of records, containing the abbey’s most precious historical documents, lies in a secret level beneath the crypt.

4
  1. Under the last abbots, a regime of interrogation began and unbelievers were taken into the crypt for conversion.

5
  1. A secret escape tunnel was constructed in the abbot’s quarters — a much later alteration that few were aware of.

6
  1. The sacrist stored valuable paraphernalia in a hidden compartment of the main church altar.

7
  1. A special key was required to activate the mechanism which opens the hidden doors of the underground vault. The key was held by the prior, who kept it on his body day and night.

8
  1. Brother Barris obsessively stole from the poor box for years. He hid his ill-gotten gains in the undercroft, inside of skulls which he marked with a red cross on the cranium.
