Horror Under Mosshall

Miscellaneous

After coming together through mutual interest in the recent rumors of undead in the area, a small adventuring party enters the town of Mosshall to investigate some suspicious activity.

Darren Brawnbeard the Dwarf, Twilla Evengate the Aasimar, Rodrick Algard the Half Elf, and Ariaseis (AKA: Ari) the Tiefling, meet on the road to Mosshall. After some small talk they discover they are all looking into the recent rumors that undead beings are being sighted around Prathia hold. After speaking with Father Luin, one of the town's priests, they learned that in recent weeks bodies had been disappearing from their crypt. The town's senior priest, Father Adam, stayed the night in the crypt a few days before their arrival but Father Luin found him the next morning pale and babbling and unable to speak of what he saw.

The group decided to investigate the crypt immediately. Inside they discover that the crypt is actually a small portion of an ancient dwarven ruin that the town is using to house their dead. The corpses of dwarves that were originally housed there had been removed at some point long ago. Sure enough, upon investigation, the group found evidence of a lot of activity in the crypt. Delving deeper down they discovered a recently dug series of tunnels along with a group of skeletons and a ghoul that were bundling up corpses and carrying them out of the crypt. Luckily the group was able to stop the removal of any more bodies by destroying the undead beings in a hard fought skirmish; during which Twilla and Darren were slain.

Rodrick and Ari hastily rushed the bodies of their slain comrades back to Father Adam who was able to revive them in time. Rodrick had recovered a small slip of paper from the ghoul with a letter on one side and a crude map on the other.

With an ever growing mystery on their hands and a new lead, the group set off right away to make up some time, following the map as best they could.
