The Shadowy Presence

A bound Green Lord stirring beneath the mound, tasting blood and waiting for the world to open.

The wraith of a Green Lord, bound beneath the mound the PCs found near the spider ziggurat. It tasted Caradoc's blood, so he's tied to it. Awakened by The Mindgem's Heart.

Grim portents

An earthquake sets it free
It rampages through The Great Wood, mindlessly stalking and feeding
It catches the "scent" of the Heart and moves toward Stonetop
It starts attacking villagers at night

Impending doom: Devours the Heart, becoming a permanent vortex of death and darkness.
