The Icon of Filth

The Icon of Filth

Far beneath the soil, a relic of a long forgotten age has been disturbed from its rest. The digging of curious Vermin has unearthed an ancient, cursed idol of despair and woe, known only as the Icon of Filth, and it’s guardian, a disgusting creature known as Glurgurgargor, the Host of Flies. Only a few people remain hidden behind the makeshift walls of Eagleford. In desperation, they turn to anyone that will listen, offering gold where they can spare it to any brave enough to seek out the source of the corruption. For many, their whole lives are here and unless the spread of decay can be halted, so to will they surely perish.

The Icon of Filth is a short sandbox adventure for a group of four to five characters of level 4, expected to span a few sessions. These characters are expected to be relatively new, without too many magic items under their belt. The Icon of Filth is intentionally written so that it can be slotted into a pre-exisiting campaign setting with little work on the GM’s part. If a GM wishes to tie it into the part of a greater narrative, they can find suggestions on how to do so in the Hooks section.
