Two strangers awaken in a cursed village as an ancient sea god, Shoggdhrashogg, begins to stir


Author's Note: Two strangers awaken in a forgotten coastal village, with fragmented memories and a dreadful sense that something is terribly wrong. The tide is low, and strange formations of black coral begin to emerge along the shore — structures no one remembers ever seeing before. The villagers avoid speaking of “the name that must not be said,” but whisper of the return of Shoggdhrashogg, an ancient entity slumbering in the ocean depths, feeding on human memories. As the players explore the village, they uncover that their presence is tied to an old pact meant to keep the creature asleep. Each night, the visions grow stronger, reality begins to unravel, and time seems to rewind. Now, they must uncover the truth — and their role in this eternal cycle — before Shoggdhrashogg fully awakens… and devours everything.

Actions

Acid Spray

The ankheg spits acid in a line that is 30 ft. long and 5 ft. wide, provided that it has no creature grappled. Each creature in that line must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) acid damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the ankheg can bite only the grappled creature and has advantage on attack rolls to do so.
