A band of heroes have been dispatched to stop an evil cult from summoning the Great Devourer! As they approach the temple entrance through the woods, they spy the entrance. It has been a long journey this past month to get here. They have had to battle Prowler Rats, Shadow Bats, and Flash Spiders. They have lost all of their henchmen that they started with as well as dear Sir Fredrick. Across the creek is the temple entrance. Six poor souls are chained to the raised stone and stairs lead up to the temple doors. There is a single stone bridge crossing the creek. It is late evening and it is getting dark fast. There are four fires blazing, one at each corner of the bridge, and their seems to be a lit candle in the middle of the bridge for some reason. Braziers line the top of the raised stones where the entrance is. Great demonic golden statues stand guard on either side with piles of skulls laying beyond. They know that something is not quite right though. The temple doors stand open and their seems to be skeletal remains in the entrance. The smell of burnt flesh comes on the breeze. Tellian, the Elven ranger, moves forward to scout around and soon returns back to the group reporting that he found tracks leading from the bridge. They are made by sandaled feet and are only hours hold. In addition, there is a magical symbol of some type, rendered in blood, upon the top of the bridge. The single candle lays in the middle of it. They discuss the situation and decide to examine the magical symbol instead of fording the creek. Johnathan the cleric, can feel the evil emitting from the bloody display and after casting a few auguries, informs the small band what he has found. The magical symbol and the lit candle are binding magic. For as long as the candle burns, whatever is inside the temple cannot leave. The heroes suspect that the human remains at the temple doors are cultists that tried to flee like the others. It seems that the Great Devourer has already been summoned and lays within, waiting on them. Kar the Barbarian, takes a few steps forward to get a closer look at the open temple doors. And then everyone freezes in place, for the two golden statues turn to gaze upon the bridge.
