- ALTAR O F THE DEEP fATHER
When the characters visit the altar of the Deep Father.
read the following to the players:
The idol to Leemooggoogoon the Deep Father consists
of a large hide cut roughly in the shape of a manta ray
and stretched out on cords between two support poles. A
dead, splayed-out manta ray is pinned to the center of the
hide. Two dead octopuses are draped across the top, their
tentacles pinned and artfully arrayed, their heads tied
together and painted with red and blue p igments. The
idol reeks of decay, and the broad stone altar below the
idol is stained dark with blood.CIIAJ'TER 3 I THE DARKL\KE
