61. The Angry Little God

A Stone IdolFront

crude, magical

Found at the back of some cave or grotto, obscured by roots and rubble, surrounded by desiccated, rotting offerings. A crude squat thing with a possum's sneering face, a thorny tail, and flowers for its ears.

The idol is, in fact, a narcissistic little Fae, stuck (hiding? stubbornly ensconced?) in the form of a stone idol. To unlock its "mysteries" and benefit from its patronage, you must...

restore the shrine, while suffering the abuse of its angry little god.
extract the idol from the stone and rubble in which it's embedded, at the risk of damaging/insulting it.
trick the idol into accepting an offering that puts it in your lasting debt. A Surplus worth of food and/or whisky ought to be enough.

When you put the idol in a prominent place and beseech it to attend its humble servant, it wakes (but is still inert). Treat it as a follower, though it hardly considers itself one.
