Visual Description

The idol appeared as a miniature statue positioned on the Bridgeport Mason’s workbench. It was characterized by a “glowing swirl of energy” that surrounded the object.

Mechanics & Effects

Lore & History

The Necromantic Idol served as the primary focal point for the necromantic ritual discovered within the Bridgeport Warehouse. Its presence maintained a green glow of possession over the Bridgeport Mason and provided the energy required to animate various stone statues and a clay golem.

Upon its destruction, the necromantic hold on the room was broken: the animated constructs solidified and the mason was freed from his possessed state.
