Sometimes, these creatures make reference to something called “Grief”, so if you want to use them in your OSR game…

…for something like OSE you can use this:

• Grief → XP or Treassure carried by PCs or sum of both (divided by 1000).

…for something like MÖRK BORG you can use this:

Grief → Omens, or Silver dived by 100, or the sum of both.

…also for MÖRK BORG you can use this conversion for stats:

• Strong → Strenght

• Agile → Agility

• Imposing → Presence

• Resilient → Toughness

• Sneaky → Agility

• Observant → Presence

…for both you could also add this:

• Let the PCs spend “X” HP to increase their roll by “X”.

Spirits that roam dead wheeled holy towns

1. Feral rapture of the cannibal sin

These colonists have fallen to madness under the pressure of living in contact with the Chasm¹. Their minds, failing to understand the meaning of the visions that the Cham imprints in their dreams, have gone awry.

In madness, they have fallen to hunger and violence, and in an infinite shame, thinking of themselves as being trapped by their god-man-king on the land of eternal damnation, they have embraced the first sin, cannibalism.

They are:

d4

1. All children.

2. All extremely old people.

3. A mixture of ages, from afar they look as a common group of colonists.

4. Imposible to say, child look old, adults look childlish, all of them covered in animals feathers and skins, their faces stained with dried blood.

Always double their number when they are part of an encounter.

2. Blind follower's choir

These spirits sing the songs of their god-man-king, in an eternal prayer of pain, begging to be released from their pain and the chains that bound them to the warped magic of the Chasm.

Their skin is translucent, their bodies almost ethereal, and float slowly, as move as a ghostly wind.

3. Chained slaves of pain

Slaves in chains walk through the streets of the dead-wheeled-holy-town. They walk in a pilgrimage of guilt and betrayal, crying out for the god to whom they pledged their lives, the slaver god of colonists, the god-man-king, still believing that in his forgiveness is their salvation.

They wear thick chastity belts and their heads are covered by heavy metal helmets in the shape of bells, with small slits for their eyes and mouths. The chain that binds them together is long; between each of them there is 30’ of chain.

They speak Pious (the language of the colonists) and have forgotten the languages of the island, or have decided never to speak them again. In penance, they seek to bring contentment to their new god.

4. Flaming penitents

With no escape from the madness that the Chasm had brought into their lives, these colonists decided to end their days under the purifying flame of their god-man-king. It is impossible to know where they come from, as they die soon after appearing from hidden places in the city. The most terrifying thing about them, is that they run in silence, and that among the flames you can glimpse the outlines of their smiles, as they embrace the pain of the flames as a gift from their god.

5. Death followers of the flesh and blood

Shadows of their past life, these corpses are held by the power of the Chasm and the rites of sacrifice they did in life to bind their spirits to the spirit of flesh and blood.

Betrayers of their god, these colonists found the power of the spirit of flesh and blood more alluring than the piety of their labor on the island.

What is left of their bodies has mutated by the magical powers of blood and flesh. Spines, twisted limbs, and exposed bones, all of them are common among the bodies of the Death followers.

They learned two secrets of witchcraft from the flesh-and-blood spirit before they died, which they can still use as undead.

Roll twice, 1d10

1. Blind-sight: In darkness, they perceive anything 20’ from them as

   normal.

2. Voided: Suppresses any magic coming from a source that is 20’ or fewer from them.

   leave the body of the beast they have to use one action. If they die being the beast, their own undead body turns to ashes.

4. Blood knife: They can use 1d4 of their Blood (HP) to make a knife of blood. The

   knife will crumble to dust when the sun crosses the horizon. They can wield up to two of these knives.

5. Bond of pain: By using 1d4 of their Blood (HP) they can bond themselves to an

   adversary. From then forward, any loss of Blood (HP) they suffer also will be suffered by the adversary.

6. Blood drain: By biting into the flesh of an adversary they can drain their Blood (HP). The biting is an attack with no weapon die. The damage that they do with the bite attack is how much Blood (HP) they drain from them. All the Blood (HP) they drain becomes black inside them.

7. Bless of blood: By losing 1d4 of their Blood (HP) they can give an advantage (roll twice and choose a better result) on their next roll to any member of the Death Followers.

8. Corrosive breath: By losing 1d6 of their Blood (HP), they breathe becomes a

   corrosive cloud that from them, to 20’ in front in a cone, makes all armour to

   deteriorate ( 1 tier / 1-in-6 chance to be destroyed) and all skin to burn (1d4 of damage).

9. Black Bloody eyes: Driving the black Blood (HP) to their eyes, and losing 1d4 of

   it in the process, the Death Follower’s glance becomes terrifying. One target that they can glance at must make a morale roll or a Saving Throw against being frozen by fear.

10. Hex: By loosing 1d4 of their Blood (HP) they can give disadvantage on their next roll to any adversary.

6. Human weaves of communion and despair

Drawn by a common horror, these colonists embraced each other in terror in the face of the strange visions that plagued their town.

The Chasm mutated them, uniting them into a single deformed and repulsive body that is driven by the echo of the last feelings of despair that flooded their minds.

These spawns are a whirlwind of torn skin and muscles, covered in bile. If one has a keen eye, will see faces in horror peeking out from between the folds of the slippery skin.

7.Slugs of the lustful rapture

These colonists, feeling abandoned and betrayed by their god, decide to submit to what they call the “sin of lust”.

The chasm, fed by the guilt that still lived inside their minds —hammered into their souls by the persistent and vehement words of their priests through years of instruction— answered to make reality their self-fulfilled destiny. Acting as the hand of their god, the Chasm transformed their bodies into slugs, condemned to an insatiable lust and the curse of melting the flesh that they craved to touch.

▶ Song of skin craving: The slugs can intone a psychic song, which floods the minds of those who listen to them (60') with an unbearable lust. When seeing these psychic images, those who fail a Saving Throw (S), will fall under the spell of the slugs, seeing them as beings of infinite attraction to their own desires. They will run towards them with the craving of being embrace. Each time someone spell-bound in this way is harmed, they have the opportunity to repeat the save to free themselves from the spell.

They will run towards them with the craving of being embrace. Each time someone spell-bound in this way is harmed, they can make a new Imposing opose roll agaist the slug to free themselves from the spell.

▶ Immunity: Unharmed by all attacks made with blunt weapons. 

8. Mechanical lives of eternal servitude

These colonists, escaping from the sin of the flesh, had decided to follow the path of the machine god, one of the three accepted interpretations of the divinity of their god-man-king.

Their bodies are constructed from clockwork machinery, steam, and fire. The last surviving fragments of their humanity, heart and brain, are in some of them visible, shown with pride inside beautifully ornated cages, and in others deeply hidden on their metallic bodies.

Their limbs have been repurposed to work as deadly weapons, and they can use them tirelessly to kill any heathen that crosses their path.

9. Pallbearers of the sinners’ dreams

These are the souls of the colonists who have been condemned to lead burial rites for eternity. In deep fear as they faced the end of their lives, the twisted energy of the Chasm fed on the last images that took hold of their minds; that of a limbo, as the only place where they could hide so as not to pay their sins to their god.

To be fit to serve their eternal fate, their skin has become marble, strong, and durable. They do not need to sleep or eat, but they feel tired and hungry. They all carry on their backs a stone coffin, without a lid.

Every turn after a person encounters the "Pallbearers of Sinners' Dreams", they will feel a pull from their chest to one of the coffins, they will lose 1 HP, and they will forget something they regret, or the details of it will become fuzzy. The coffins on the back of the "Pallbearers of Sinners' Dreams" will glow brighter with every HP and memory they take from the people looking at them.
▶ Buring your sins: They will carry the sin of those who have looked at them to a graveyard. Each turn there is a 1-in-6 chance that the graveyard will emerge from a magical fog. The "Pallbearers of sinners' dreams" will enter the graveyard and begin to bury the coffins they carry. They do so in 1d6 turns. If all the coffins are buried anyone inside the cemetery falls unconscious and wakes up hours later in the same place where they first saw the "Pallbearers of the coffin of sinners' dreams". The memories they lost are lost forever and now their current HP is their maximum HP.
▶ Looking at the coffin on their backs: If anyone looks into one of the glowing coffins, they will see the sins it has been devouring.
The people to whom these memories belong will feel a tug, as if a rope is pulling them from their chests into the coffin. Whoever enters a coffin will fall into a pocket dimension inside the "Pallbearers of sinners' dreams".
▶ The pocket dimension: The pocket dimension is a catacomb, with four exits. If someone crosses one exit they return to the catacomb through one of the other exits. There is an open stone coffin in the center. Next to it, looking inside, the person who became the "Pallbearers of sinners' dreams". If someone enters that coffin, they come out of the pocket dimension. If the person who was the "Pallbearers of Sinners' Dreams" enters it, (he is afraid of it and thinks that if he enters he will die and be punished by his god), the catacomb will start to crumble, the "Pallbearers of Sinners' Dreams" will be destroyed, and any memories or HP that this "Pallbearers of Sinners' Dreams" took with him will be returned. If the person who was the "Pallbearers of Sinners' Dreams" is killed, the catacomb will crumble, but any memories or HP they stole will not be returned. Anyone who does not escape from the catacomb when it crumbles becomes the "Pallbearers of Sinners' Dreams".

10. Plague bearers

These are the undying bodies of those colonists who carried in them the northern diseases that killed many of the island's inhabitants.

Seconds before they died, they remembered all those who died from these diseases they brought. With shame and regret, they remembered how they kept the cure of these diseases a secret to themselves, either out of self-righteousness or by order of their king. The Chasm fed on these memories of regret, turned them into what they themselves now facing death discovered they had been in life, bearers of death and plague.

Always triple their number when they are part of an encounter.

11. Ink-covered scribes

These are the keepers of knowledge, those historians who have come to the island to rewrite history by the command of their kings and following the words of their god-man-king. They write words of conquest, they write words of wrath and righteousness.

As the wheeled holy village got stranded, and the Chasm overflowed it, their profession became their necessity, and in hunger they recorded the pain and insanity that took over the other inhabitants of the village.

With each word, with each fragment of madness they collected from the ones that died, they also anchored the soul of those they wrote about to their skin.

They walk covered in ink, and the weight of the twisted visions of those that already died. They are mortal vessels for the lost souls of the deceased.

12. Shadows of greed and grief

These are the last echoes of all the greed and grief of colonists.

Keep alive by the Chasm, these aspects of the colonist’s souls have interwoven to become an ethereal force that takes the shape of a wraith.

These remnants feed on the Grief of those they meet in their path, and their most vital instinct is to push other creatures to indulge in greed, for they desire one thing more than anything else: to bear their greed in the company of other beings, so as not to feel guilty of what is their nature.
