Elemental Evil: Bleached Skull, a figurine of wondrous power for D&D 5th Edition

In Princes of the Apocalypse, there is a black arrow found pinning a skull to a tree in The Last Laugh side trek.  Here is how the skull has taken shape in my campaign:

Eloi Dekard had something terrible done to him at the moment of his death.  He was the victim of a mind shattering rite that bound his spirit, now lost, angry, confused, and tortured to the skull that sat atop his body in life.  Now he waits in a trap of torment and self-loathing made from his own bones for the moment when he can be unleashed upon this unsuspecting world and sate his all powerful need for chaos and destruction.

BLEACHED SKULL
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a wizard or sorcerer)

Once per day, this figure of wondrous power may be activated to conjure a specter for up to 4 hours.

In addition, when you cast the chill touch cantrip, you gain a +2 to your damage roll.

Masters of the Universe Monday: King Hsss for Fate Accelerated

A servant of the Unnamed One, Hssss of Viper House was chosen to lead an army of Snake Men to the planet of Eternia to plunder its magical secrets. He ruled Eternia for three centuries until a rebellion formed under D’Vann Grayskull. Soon afterwards, the Horde invaded and Hssss was drawn into a three-way war. All three sides agreed to a temporary truce in order to construct the Three Towers, but Hssss was betrayed by Hordak and in time was banished to the Void by the Elders and Zodak. For five centuries he and his army waited until Evil-Lyn and a Snake Men descendent named Kobra Khan opened the Snake Pit to free them. King Hssss often tricks foes by appearing heroic but then transforms into a seething mass of serpents and leads the Snake Men into battle!

Elemental Evil: Deadfall, a magic arrow for D&D 5E

In Princes of the Apocalypse, there is a black arrow found pinning a skull to a tree in The Last Laugh side trek.  Here is how it has taken shape in my campaign:

There are many legends surrounding the arrow known as Deadfall. The most prominent is that it was used to slay the dracolich, Xemni, by the half-elven reaver known as Tarnaris Deadeye. Supposedly, the arrow gained a portion of the dracolich's wickedness when it pierced the monster's unliving heart.

DEADFALL

When this magical arrow is placed in your quiver, all other arrows within it deal an additional 1d6 necrotic damage.

In addition, when you shoot Deadfall from your bow, you gain advantage on your attack roll and it deals an additional 3d6 necrotic damage.

Outpost Apocalypse: Sludge Golem for Savage Worlds and the Wasted West

The Sagacious Sojourns of Sargoo the Sapient

In my travels, have run across an unsavory cult who have found, through Black Science, a way to animate toxic sludge into a servitor and guardian.

I first encountered the group, known as the Culture, in an area now known as Earlsburg, which my research shows me was once known as "Cincinnati".

The Culture actively manipulated three of these creatures and were able to hold a small town of over two-hundred within their grasp, through fear, intimidation, and murder.

I was lucky enough to have access to several ancient artifacts that helped my group break the Culture's hold on the monsters, causing them to disperse and letting the population of Earlsburg deal with the members of the Culture.

I've recently learned, however, that the Culture is more widespread than I knew.

ParaMilitary: Hauska Castle for Savage Worlds and Weird War 2

Prague 1946
Project: Crystal Ball has mobilized an operation in response to intelligence they have gathered from several trusted spirits of the dead in and around Prague, specifically Hauska Castle.

Folklore has suggested that the Castle was built to contain something in the 13th century and the Undying Reich has begun researching who or what is trapped there and wether it would be worthwhile to recruit or weaponize it.

Numerous Axis agents have been reassigned to deal with the "Gateway to Hell".

"John Dee has confirmed what the other spirits are saying about Hauska.  That castle was built to hold something out.  And we need to get our asses over there.  Double time."
