@BufoBufo @cat4laugh @MarkusW @PatrickD @Valzon
thanks for playing The Porphyry House Horror
aside from 300gp, choose ONE of the following:
-
A butcher’s bib (rare, attunement) from the thankful butcher lady from the “Oracles & Organs” shop.
-
A staff of healing (rare, attunement by bard/cleric/druid), brought back by your fellow cleric’s summoned bebilith, after it had devoured the end-boss.
extra fluff: this magic staff heals by growing cysts and mutating & twisting the flesh of the subject -
Two doses of reincarnation dust (consumeable), brought back by your fellow druid from the Gaping Maw, the 88th level of the Abyss.
Should you ever use that on one of my tables or if a fellow DM feels funky
, it will use the following table (d12) instead:
- Mongrelfolk = Custom Lineage
- Changeling
- Hadozee
- Half-Elf
- Half-Orc
- Locathah
- Plasmoid
- Shifter
- Simic Hybrid
- Verdan
- Yuan-ti
- the DM chooses something “interesting”
Hombrew Story Awards:
Thrall to Demon: Demogorgon
… for Yarrow (@cat4laugh)
Should you ever die, your soul goes straight to The Gaping Maw, the 88th layer of the Abyss, where you will be reborn as a Maw Demon (NPC).
You can only be revived through a careful worded wish spell.
Two Beautiful Minds
… for Yarrow (@cat4laugh)
You can get the benefit of an Action Surge (as the Fighter feature). This however will deal d8 ability damage to you (50% chance Intelligence, 50% chance Charisma). Should this reduce one of your ability scores to 0, you will die.
You heal the ability damage suffered from this award after a long rest.
note: You only can use one Action Surge per round.
A Potion of Liquid Pain
… for Willem (@MarkusW)
This magic potion inflicts one level of exhaustion, but protects the drinker like a death ward spell for 8h. As a side effect, the subjects suffers from disadvantage on saving throws resisting demonic possession for the same duration.
Consumers resist all three effects with a successful DC 15 Constituition save, that they can choose to fail.
note: this award is considered a consumeable magic item at my tables
keep in mind that these 
Story Awards only work at my table
New Downtime Activities:
Genasi Getaway
… for Dr. Goosejet (@PatrickD)

Cost: 5 Downtime Days
Noblesse Oblige
… for Willem (@MarkusW)
You try to get Aaron, the noble you have saved, back to the surface … a daunting task.

From the Cradle to the Grove
… for Yarrow (@cat4laugh)
Prerequesite: being able to cast the druid grove spell
Time to create the two-headed snake grove dedicated to Demogorgon, the Prince of Demons!
