A shrine to one of the Forgotten Gods consisting of a massive statue missing one of its arms and an altar adorned with offerings. The shrine is in excellent condition because it is protected by an Eidolon, with the massive statue being a Sacred Statue that lacks the Multiattack action due to its missing arm. If the characters attempt to take something from the offering pile, the Eidolon first uses its Divine Dread action. If that does not deter the characters, the Eidolon animates the statue and attacks. The Eidolon cannot move more than 100 feet from the shrine, and it focuses its attacks on characters in possession of treasure from the offering pile.
If a character makes an offering to the shrine of 100 gp or more, the Eidolon instead grants that character a Resolve: {1? charm of fortune|2? charm of healing|3? charm of the moon|4? charm of resistance|5? charm of the sun|6? charm of undying}.
