The Giggling Gloom

S
StardustCove

Whimsical, mysterious, and slightly spooky—think Ghibli meets The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. In the quiet town of Merribog, the villagers have stopped laughing. Literally. Anyone who tries to laugh finds themselves struck with hiccups, then silence, then eerie giggles that aren’t their own. They beg the adventurers to investigate the source. Ideal setup: The local bard begs the players for help after she loses her voice mid-performance, and a disembodied laugh echoes from the rafters.

Contact Other Plane

Description

You mentally contact a demigod, the spirit of a long-dead sage, or some other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar intelligence can strain or even break your mind. When you cast this spell, make a DC 15 intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you take 6d6 psychic damage and are insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can't take actions, can't understand what other creatures say, can't read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect. On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. The DM answers each question with one word, such as "yes," "no," "maybe," "never," "irrelevant," or "unclear" (if the entity doesn't know the answer to the question). If a one-word answer would be misleading, the DM might instead offer a short phrase as an answer.
