The doomed village

from HDK 132 † The occult summoner by DAVIDE RICCI

/

lyrics

An isolated fishing village on the northern cliffs, where an icy wind from the ocean always blows, is plagued with a curse! The men of the village disappear into the night without a trace. The villagers attribute these disappearances to a vengeful spirit: the mermaid Caoimhe, daughter of the God of Waves and a wiccan priestess, killed in the archaic era by a bandit from the village. Legend has it that sooner or later the mermaid’s spirit would return for revenge - and perhaps that time has come.

The truth is that Caoimhe’s spirit was summoned by a monstrous and diabolical creature: the vampire-spider Uvul! Uvul is one of the few survivors of an ancient race of spider-vampires forced to feed on human flesh and blood in order to survive. Spider vampires are extremely intelligent creatures devoted to spiritualism, black magic and alchemy. Uvul settled in the caves between the cliffs near the village and made a pact with Caoimhe: he summoned the mermaid’s spirit and allowed her to carry out her revenge on the men of the village, on the condition that she deliver the corpses of these to him for food.

Thus Caoimhe, every moonless night, appears at the edge of the village and attracts a man to him, enchanting him with her beauty and then leading him to the cliff; men, in a trance, throw themselves into the void and their lifeless bodies are then picked up by the diabolical vampire spider and devoured.

You, a knight skilled in magic and Satanism, were called by Liamh, the young and inexperienced priest of the village, with whom you had befriended at the time of the academy, to investigate the story, free from prejudices and superstitions. With Baalthasar, your faithful and athletic half-orc servant, you have set out for the north.

Under a thin and persistent rain, you catch a glimpse of the isolated village on the cliff. Wind, gray clouds and dark omens...
