It's hugs, right? (It's never hugs.) |
Druids don't
want to live in harmony with
nature - they want to tear down civilization before nature gets pissed off and kills us all. Here's 30 ways your local circle of
druids is trying to do that.
- Teaching barbarians how to attack fortifications and pillage cities.
- Arming a humanoid tribe with captured weapons so they can better kill the druids' enemies.
- Sacrificing dogs, bulls, and horses by cutting their throats on a great stone altar.
- Carving intricate knotwork in standing stones to create hidden pathways between distant lands.
- Spying or casting spells remotely through faces carved in the bark of distant trees.
- Harvesting mistletoe with a golden sickle from the branches of an oak tree beneath a full moon.
- Using animals to pull up mandrake roots which kill with their screams when unearthed.
- Burning prisoners alive in great wicker cages shaped like men or beasts.
- Killing a sacrifice in three ways at once, by hanging, impaling, and drowning in a peat bog.
- Brewing a terrible plague in a cauldron filled with dragon blood.
- Teaching the trees to talk and move and hunger.
- Protecting a rural village in exchange for the first born of each family to raise as their own.
- Attending a war council of great animal spirits.
- Forgetting language and becoming lost in the shapes of beasts.
- Ambushing travelers along the forest trails, leaving their heads at the edge of town.
- Placating the demon bound in the old black hawthorn with a gift of blood.
- Heralding the new season by dancing and leaping naked over a great fire kindled by bones.
- Reading the future in the movements of birds and death throws of the disemboweled.
- Searching for a lost artifact that summons earthquakes, floods, storms, and locusts.
- Preparing magic elixirs to transform people into enormous feral monstrosities.
- Hunting legendary beasts and eating their hearts to gain their power.
- Animating the ancient stones to serve as their guardians and warriors.
- Blessing or cursing the fertility of a noble lineage so the prophesied child takes the throne.
- Applying warpaint that grants the strength of beasts and the heroism of the ancestors.
- Gathering to decide on a new archdruid – lots of fights, scheming, politics, and kinky shapeshifter sex.
- Completing a ritual so an ancient hero can be reborn from the womb of a wolf.
- Bringing tribute to a great dragon, currying favor to get help sacking a major city.
- Freeing the animals from a menagerie or colosseum to rampage through the streets.
- Summoning the forbidden spirits of murder and decay out of desperation as the end times near.
- Burning EVERYTHING. The garden of Earth is strangled by weeds; it must be cleansed in flame to give new life a chance to grow.
