Devouring Bridge

The great grey stone bridge here is of fiendish manufacture, its arches covered with leering skeletal and abyssal visages. The nalfeshnee who created it stands ever-vigilant in a grotesque tower and will not allow any to pass over the bridge unless it is offered a sacrifice. Wretched victims are thrown into the stone claws of two huge fiend statues flanking each approach to the bridge. The statues animate and rip the proffered body to shreds. The nalfeshnee itself appears quite insane, performing a jerky, rapid dance of glee and snatching the remains of the sundered corpse which it drags off into its tower. Even orc soldiers passing over this bridge are nervous. Those in the garrison towers on each side of the bridge watch fearfully for the fiend's nocturnal prowlings, since it is not averse to picking off an orc or two as the mood strikes it. The nalfeshnee may appear mad, but it is actually very cunning and watchful. Its tower holds no few magical items and the nalfeshnee has a staff of servitor lesser fiends to wait on it. All in all, a very comfortable existence for this denizen of the Abyss.
