///// Nightdwellers 'Beginning Line' Challenge (October 1st) /////
Since it is the month of the old Hallowe’en malarkey I thought this beginning line quite apt to start something spooky, freaky, frightening or mysterious… ‘A GOATS HEAD EFFIGY HANGS IN THE SHADOWS’…Tag it #nightdwellers #beginningline. Go crazy ;)

A Simple Game
"A goats head effigy hangs in the shadows, and a circle of robed figures stands around a stone altar. They're chanting in a language none of you recognize."
"What does the goats head mean?"
"Make a Knowledge: Religion check."
"24."
"You recognize it as a symbol of Ganshu, god of chaos."
"Crap!"
"I charge the nearest priest with my greatsword!"
"I fire my bow!"
"Well, the priests are surprised, so they count as flat footed... And you guys get a surprise round, so..."
Dalgor turned away, he'd heard enough. This was no summoning, and these children were no cultists. How an insipid game had somehow guessed the name of his daemonic master, he couldn't guess. But if he ever got a foothold into this reality, Dalgor swore he would punish those responsible.
