When do I know I’m Spider-Man? You won’t. That’s all it is, Miles… a leap of faith.

Villain: Ohlzelth, Visionary Parasite

“…it was then that the gods granted me a vision, the revelation of the burning tree, that I knew meant I was meant to drive the heathen faiths and their paganistic worship of nature from our lands. For so long I had awaited their sign, to cleanse the world for their coming. Don’t you see? The gods wanted this! How am I to be condemned? “

Brother Valdius Reannt, lay brother of Stillbrook monetary, last testimonial before execution for the murder of eight.

Setup:

Those who seek conference with the greater mysteries of the multiverse would do well go guide their mind, as there are all manner of tricksters and hazards that would gladly prey upon them as they travel the uncharted paths of the cosmos. Ohlzelth is one of those hazards, an entity somewhere between a virus and an idea that infects the minds of those with oracular gifts in an attempt to propagate itself across the multiverse. From there it takes root, binding itself into the material of the plane as it spreads through the minds of others.

Adventure Hooks:

A villain casts “modify memory” on one of the party members, instilling in them a terrifying vision and an alien compulsion nested within it. Will they be able to fight off this entity’s influence, or will they succumb to the purpose and the powers that it offers?

Investigating a cult lairing in a nearby dungeon, known to participate in abduction and intimidation to swell their ranks. After fighting their way past a few crazed, desperate defenders (as well as the other hazards id the dungeon) the party enters the inner sanctum to find they are too late, and all that remains if the cult’s leadership are a few twisted, resinous treethings, their roots spiraling down deep into the earth. The cultists have corrupted the local laylines, and soon many others will be receiving peculiar visions while indulging in magical practice. 

While recovering from a bad fever inflicted by a nasty wound, a bandit leader has seen a vision of a particular village’s central-square tree on fire, and is now mustering their strength and their forces to put the whole town to the torch. Bonus points if this is a villain the party faced down before, and  they’re suffering from a wound the party gave them.
