Story Award :
Moander the Darkbringer
Handout 2: Moander the Darkbringer
The saurial archmage Grypht devoted a great deal
of time and energy to researching Moander the
Darkbringer, and even more to developing methods
to combat the god’s power.
The cult’s primary means of spreading its
influence is through the use of Dark Seeds. A
creature implanted with one of the corrupting pods
quickly falls under the thrall of the Darkbringer,
free will suppressed by the desire to serve.
Willing thralls retain a good deal of their prior
personalities, but unwilling victims are utterly
dominated by the dark god’s will. They tend to
have a fixed, glassy stare, slightly jerky movements,
and no sense of humor, or sense of anything that
brings joy.
The Dark Seeds continue growing in their
hosts, eventually replacing their flesh and even
vital organs. Unwilling victims can last as long
as a tenday before being fully corrupted, but the
seeds grow much more quickly in the willing. In
either case, those infected with a Dark Seed are
identifiable by the plant material that grows from
their bodies: green, leafy tendrils, even flowers.
The host grows sickly if these growths are denied
light and air for too long, so cultists trying to blend
in tend to wear corsages, boutonnieres, wreaths,
and such to camouflage the corrupting growths.
Grypht’s crowning achievement was a
powerful ritual that could hedge out creatures
imbued with Moander’s power, and even kill the
Dark Seeds within a host.
Any character with the Ritual Caster class
feature who is able to cast 3rd level spells can
enact Grypht’s ritual. It has a 1-hour casting time,
so ritually casting it will take 70 minutes. The ritual
requires pure water and healing herbs, worth 100
gp. When completed, the ritual wards an area up
to 100 feet on a side against creatures infected
with Moander’s power. Such creatures must make
a Charisma saving throw in order to enter the
warded area. If successful, repeat the saving throw
at the start of each of its turns or fall unconscious
for 1 minute. If an infected creature fails 3 such
saves, the Dark Seed within dies; the creatures
gains a level of Exhaustion for each day it has been
infected, so long-time cultists die when their Seed
does. Casting the ritual in the same place every day
for a year renders it permanent, or it can be tied to
a hallow spell.
While casting the ritual, the caster is
considered to be concentrating, as if on a spell. If
interrupted, the caster can defend herself, but must
use either an action or a bonus action each round
to maintain the ritual. If the caster leaves the area,
or loses concentration, the ritual ends and must be
started anew.
Several casters can undertake the ritual at
the same time. It doesn’t increase the speed of the
casting but the ritual is not interrupted unless
all the participants lose concentration or leave
the area. As long as one ritualist is continuing the
ritual, a caster who had lost concentration, or left
the area, may rejoin the ritual as an action.

Night Cutter Story Award
You openly carry the black-bladed scimitar called Night Cutter, which once belonged to a respected drow captain of House Rakarn. Unless your race is drow, you are considered unworthy by most drow to carry it, and they take an instant dislike to you, treating you as a usurper. If your race is drow, or if you do not openly carry the weapon, this drawback does not apply to you.

Story Reward :
You have done a favor for the imp Pipyap and now he owes you one. You can cash in this favor in one of three ways:

• Gain 150 gp.

• Gain one consumable potion or scroll from Table A or B in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

• Pipyap arranges for your body to be recovered when otherwise thought lost. It’s best not to ask how he did it or where that strange smell came from.

This favor goes both ways. Now that you have accepted something from the devil, he might call on you in the future to further your alliance.
