Roadside Shrine

Roadside Shrine

As you are traveling the roadway, you notice up ahead a small structure off the side of the way. It appears to be shrine. As you get closer, you see there is a walkway of paving stones from the roadway up to a rounded alter and a large table in front of it. The table is overflowing with coins and gems and other items of values. You estimate there must be near a thousand in gold pieces alone. The overall wealth just sitting out here must be ten times that.

There are markings around the arch-like surface of the shrine. They appear to be carvings of several different types of language, some are just pictograms. A religion check (DC10) reveals they are all prayers to an unknown god. Literally… they all seem to refer to the “God Unknown”.

The stone is imbued with powerful magic and will gift the PC’s with a blessing if they leave a donation, or will bestow a powerful curse on them if they dare to rob the shrine of any of its treasure.
