The Ashen Fissure's Tithe

The four Fissure Cultists carried the remains of their latest offerings in battered purses, along with practical weapons and a few tools for guarding their hidden work. Their robes and daggers are mundane, while one cultist possessed a healing potion and a warning scroll meant to protect the group from discovery. The Rift Hounds carried no armor, equipment, or coin, but one creature's remains concealed a broken spiral token, likely dropped by a handler. Among the ashes lies a warm shard of fissure-touched obsidian, a valuable sign that the cult's digging has reached something far more dangerous beneath the furrows.
