CRUACH.
A mad cultist and the lost he leads to doom, the watcher on the hills ahead of madness, ferrymen meant to cart away the dead on rot-soaked water, the dredgers bringing up things twisted beyond reason...You were told to enter this swamp and stand against Tigernmas' death-cult was to meet death but you've found something so much worse.
The dark creature, the slaughter incarnate, the one their accursed tongues twist into the perverse pronunciation Crew-ick, he waits, deep and terrible, for new blood so foolish as to wander into his swamps. They told you to turn back but now you are left to wonder - what will be left of you to bury - and will anyone survive long enough to bring those paltry remains home?
Suddenly your eyes are open, your heart racing, blood rushing. The darkness around you feels total until a star rips its way through the pitch sky. In the terrible light of its destruction you can make out a terrifying collection of humanoid shapes in the treeline by the Edge, eyes bright and frantic. Each holds a bloodstained Ozark in their brume-rotted hands, a fetid shape rising up behind them, sloughing off flesh until the broken human beneath is revealed. The cracked smile, the deranged eyes, the seeping crown-shaped wound upon his forehead...
The mad cultist Tig laughs, and the last of your resolve begins to slip away.
