  Vile idols

  Fat Goblin Games
  Sidebars
  Grinning Demon
  Aura strong (all schools); CL 20th; Weight 
  2,000 lbs.
  Alignment neutral evil; Senses 120 ft.
  Attributes Intelligence 14, Wisdom 12, Charisma 
  16; Ego 15
  Language speech (Common, Aklo)
  The Grinning Demon is an aptly named stone gray 
  statue that is as thick as it is tall, encompassing a 
  robust looking demon with a grotesquely large face. It’s 
  tongue is rough to the touch, and is often stained red.
  The statue imposes a great depression on all that stray 
  towards it, and further compels those it influences to 
  worship it, to give them short bursts of joy. This cycle 
  of joy and sadness causes an intense addiction that lasts 
  until people starve from constantly worshipping the 
  idol. The idol will usually compel some creatures to stay 
  away so that they can lure new victims.
  The statue is hearty (hardness 14, 520 hp, break 
  DC 45).
  The Grinning Demon can affect creatures within 200 
  feet with the effects of the enthrall and cause fear spell 
  once per day each. These effects require a Will saving 
  throw against a DC of 15. 
  DESTRUCTION
  The Grinning Demon loses potency when it runs out 
  of victims. When it is desperate enough to turn on its 
  remaining victims, it becomes weak and vulnerable. 
  During that time, if a great and truly joyful party is held 
  within its radius of influence, the statue’s grin becomes a 
  frown, and its power becomes inert for all time.
  Fierce Fetish Doll
  Aura strong (all schools); CL 20th; Weight 5 lbs.
  Alignment chaotic evil; Senses 60 ft., darkvision
  Attributes Intelligence 10, Wisdom 10, Charisma 
  10; Ego 12
  Language speech (Common, Abyssal)
  This idol takes the shape of a grim looking fetish 
  doll, wearing a fierce face, wiry hair, a loincloth and 
  miniature spear. The doll appears nearly demonic, 
  with teeth filed to sharp points. Despite being crudely 
  made, the doll’s countenance is disturbing to most 
  sensibilities.
  The Fierce Fetish Doll often preys upon unsuspecting 
  creatures that take the doll with them, thinking it to be 
  a trinket of interest. The doll awakes when the victim 
  is sleeping, and murders their temporary owner, only 
  to go inert and be recovered by one of its few willing 
  worshippers until the process is repeated.
  The Fierce Fetish Doll is fragile (hardness 7, 20 hp, 
  break DC 13) and is normally kept carefully guarded 
  in an underground catacomb, though it may be nearly 
  anywhere after killing a new victim.
  The idol can animate as per the animate objects spell 
  (treat as a tiny animated object from the Pathfinder 
  Roleplaying Game: Bestiary). The idol also has a total 
  of +5 to Stealth checks, and +5 to Perception checks.
  DESTRUCTION
  If the Fierce Fetish Doll is damaged, the doll becomes 
  weak and inert for 1 week. Within that week, if the 
  doll is played with by a truly innocent child, it falls 
  apart and can never reanimate.
  Vile idols
  Idols exist in many cultures, even if you don’t recognize them. A bronze bull, a triangle with inset eye, a 
  malformed human body; all of these are representations of ideas worshipped in some way or another. But 
  even among these symbols there exist ones with ties to dark forces and old ways. These vile idols draw power 
  from primal influences, like darkness, the cold, and even blood.
  Vile idols are essentially intelligent artifacts, and these three examples expand on the concept of idols 
  in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game that hold power and influence, either from absorbing dark energy, or 
  channeling it.

  Sacrificial Room
  Aura strong (all schools); CL 20th; Weight Incal-
  culable
  Alignment neutral good; Senses 120 ft.
  Attributes Intelligence 16, Wisdom 18, Charisma 
  10; Ego 15
  Language speech (Infernal)
  Rather than a single idol, Sacrificial Rooms are all too 
  common, a natural development of the darkest places 
  of humanoid suffering like torture chambers, ritualistic 
  murder rooms, or even a common basement regularly 
  used for the darkest of deeds. Some rooms are made 
  to look like the object of worship, while other rooms 
  merely have some kind of makeshift shrine that marks 
  the presence of the idol’s influence.
  A Sacrificial Room gathers cultists that wish to 
  worship dark powers, acting as a surrogate force that 
  thirsts for blood. 
  A room is incredibly difficult to damage (hardness 
  10, 460 hp, break DC 60) and is usually guarded by at 
  least a dozen cultists.
  A Sacrificial Room can actually grant spells as a dark 
  deity does to 1d4 priests. It can target creatures within 
  200 feet with the effects of the enthrall and cause 
  fear spell once per day each. Finally, it can bolster its 
  worshippers once per day with the effects of the heroes' 
  feast spell.
  There are three days during the year when the stars 
  are right in which the Sacrificial Room can actually 
  grant a form of immortality to its favored worshippers, 
  for as long as they worship the idol. While within 1 
  mile of the idol, these selected worshipers do not age; 
  do not need to eat, drink, or breathe; and do not suffer 
  any ill effects from extreme heat or extreme cold. The 
  power of immortality is typically granted to those 
  worshippers that also receive priestly powers from the 
  idol, as long as they do not invoke its wrath.
  DESTRUCTION
  If the building and walls that made up a Sacrificial 
  Room are destroyed, and it is subject to a hallow spell 
  for 1 year, the Sacrificial Room ceases to function and is 
  permanently destroyed at the end of that year.
