[September of Short Adventures] Day 20: Chaos from the Sky

Synopsis: Two days ago, there were reports of a shooting star and a loud thunderous noise from the woods. The following day, there were sightings of unusual creatures appearing. Hideous monstrosities, gigantic animals, creatures with abilities unlike what they normally possess. The townspeople are convinced that the gods have sent these beings down to punish them. Though some people muse that the shooting star has actually brought something of great power to be exploited.



Background: A meteorite crashed in the forest two days ago. Approximately 8 feet in diameter and weighing well over 40 tons, the meteor gives off energy with unusual properties. If any living thing touches the meteor, it must make a saving throw vs. magic or be affected. The meteor can only affect a living thing once. The half-life of the meteor is short. After 1d4 days, it will be rendered completely inert. The effects of the meteor cannot be reversed by any means short of a wish.
