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.

Description

You touch a dead creature that has been dead for no more than a century, that didn't die of old age, and that isn't undead. If its soul is free and willing, the target returns to life with all its hit points. This spell neutralizes any poisons and cures normal diseases afflicting the creature when it died. It doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, and the like; if such effects aren't removed prior to casting the spell, they afflict the target on its return to life. This spell closes all mortal wounds and restores any missing body parts. Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears. Casting this spell to restore life to a creature that has been dead for one year or longer taxes you greatly. Until you finish a long rest, you can't cast spells again, and you have disadvantage on all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws.
