This is a generator for evil, animate scarecrows. Why yes, after hundreds of these things I am having to stretch for ideas, how could you tell?

D6 | This scornful scarecrow is |
---|---|
1 | a formerly-ordinary scarecrow that became the focus for an entire village's negative emotions after a murder took place in its field, after which it became animate and sentient. |
2 | granted life by a lingering drop of Abel's blood, still crying out from fields tilled by the sons of Cain. |
3 | a vengeful forest spirit whose trees were razed to make farms. |
4 | a harvest deity who's shrivelled up and become bitter. |
5 | animated by the ghost of a vagrant who was murdered when caught stealing grain from its field. |
6 | the vessel of a demon that a desperate farmer invited into this world to prevent his family from starving - but at what cost? |
D6 | This scornful scarecrow attacks |
---|---|
1 | by riding a skeletal ox and getting it to trample and gore its victims. |
2 | by rapidly spinning straw into razor wire. |
3 | with a torch and pitchfork wielded in dreadful tandem. |
4 | with thorny, eviscerating claws that break off bits in wounds that grow into parasitic brambles. |
5 | silently, from out of nowhere, swinging a machete. |
6 | by summoning swarms of birds and rats to nip away at its victims. |
D6 | The surrounding community deals with this scornful scarecrow |
---|---|
1 | by sacrificing troublemakers (and anyone who seems like they might make trouble) to it. |
2 | by attempting to appease it with shrines, festivals, and little doughy treats steamed in straw. |
3 | by demystifying it, seeing it as no different from any other territorial predator, learning its routines and avoiding it when they can. |
4 | by avoiding it physically and mentally, fencing off its field and obscuring its existence in nursery rhymes. |
5 | by making it the lynchpin of their defense from the outside world, setting obstacles to funnel invaders towards it - some even coming to see it as their sacred guardian. |
6 | by challenging it, making surviving in its field for a night their rite of manhood - those who survive are said to have conquered fear itself (though they rarely speak to each other about the chronic nightmares). |
D6 | This scornful scarecrow has |
---|---|
1 | human viscera stuffed inside it in unconventional numbers and arrangements instead of straw. |
2 | a wide hat with vials containing wasps, mosquitos, locusts and other such unpleasant insects dangling from its brim. |
3 | a mouthful of mismatched teeth pried from the mouths of dogs, cats, and various livestock. |
4 | an unseemly blend of burlap and leather making up its body, each mixed into the other without a clear point of demarcation. |
5 | stitches spelling out curses and obscenities. |
6 | black marble eyes that roll around in its head when it's agitated. |
D6 | This scornful scarecrow's field grows |
---|---|
1 | gourds and melons, swollen to boulder-size and wrinkled and sagging into forms suggestive of faces. Vines snag at your feet like snares when you trudge through it. |
2 | lentil bushes in trackless profusion. Disease-bearing ticks lurk on every stem. |
3 | apple trees, spread from neat orchards to a gnarled forest. Their branches have matted into a sun-blocking thicket, bearing foul-smelling fruit. |
4 | corn, the stalks in tight-packed rows towering above your head, every stretch identical to every other. Easy to get lost in a place like this. |
5 | wheat. The dense stalks trap air like fur against skin - the field is unpredictably, unpleasantly hot or cold. |
6 | rice, the grains hard and bitter even after long boiling. The field's mud sucks your feet in deep, steals your boots, and needle-thin fishbones are mixed in throughout, pricking through bare skin and thin cloth. |
D6 | This scornful scarecrow's field |
---|---|
1 | is home to rabid badgers and their ankle-snapping dens. |
2 | is riddled with pitfalls, bear traps, and other such nasty surprises. |
3 | is larger once you're in it than it seems from the outside. |
4 | bends to its will in subtle ways. |
5 | is decorated with the heads of its victims, hollowed out and stuck on stakes, a candle shining from their mouths and eye sockets. |
6 | has at its center a barn and farmhouse, in pristine condition despite the untended crops. Within, the signs of everyday life are preserved at the moment they stopped. |
If you keep doing this, I'm gonna have to abandon my current game to build a pulp horror world of constant world-ending plagues with horsemen, werewolves, and scarecrows.
