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

Change Shape

The oni magically polymorphs into a Small or Medium humanoid, into a Large giant, or back into its true form. Other than its size, its statistics are the same in each form. The only equipment that is transformed is its glaive, which shrinks so that it can be wielded in humanoid form. If the oni dies, it reverts to its true form, and its glaive reverts to its normal size.

Claw (Oni Form Only)

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Glaive

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) slashing damage, or 9 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage in Small or Medium form.

Multiattack

The oni makes two attacks, either with its claws or its glaive.
