“ During a storm the PCs come upon a little boy that plays in the rain. Upon further inspection they discover that he has one eye and a long tongue lolling in its mouth. Spit dripping. It is a demon from beyond that can access our realm during storms, it eats all heads that are not its own, living and dead.”

The fourth contains a living man who looks as if he hasn't eaten in days. Turns out to be the local way of punishing criminals.”
