Premade Campaign 04: The Case of the Missing Corpses
The Case of the Missing Corpses is intended for Heroic (1-10) level characters.
There have been complaints from citizens of Tinslebranch of loud noises coming from the local cemetery, and upon inspection it is obvious that the dirt on many of the graves has been recently tampered with. Even more troubling is the specific graves that seem disturbed, all belonging to former clerics of the Raven Queen – the god of death. While tensions are at their worst, the current head of the Raven Queen’s followers in the city, Sesstian Wrol, disappears, leading to a small skirmish outside the church steps between confused citizens and some of the church’s members. Whoever is responsible for the bodies disappearance best be found soon, before the small fight outside the Temple of the Raven Queen bubbles over to a holy war.
Where have the bodies gone? Find out after the jump.
01-40: The bodies are being stolen by a local merchant, who is selling their body parts on the Black Market as powerful charms that protect against evil magic. He is, of course, lying, but what he doesn’t know is that after a few days of wearing these objects the wearer is turned into a Zombie Hulk. The only way to appease the curse is to find these charms and return them to their original resting place.
41-80: As part of a pact made before their death, the clerics of the Raven Queen had spells cast on them to bring them back from the dead at a certain time, and came out of the ground on their own accord. The black magic that brought them back has corrupted their minds, however, and they have kidnapped the current church leader in hopes of her ritual death being able to cleanse their thoughts.
81-100: The current clerics of the Temple of the Raven Queen have dug up their brethren to attempt to bring them back, but all attempts as of yet have been unsuccessful. Their plan is malicious, and they hope that with increased power they will be able to destroy the town, adding more souls to the Raven Queen. A traveling adventurer has caught wind of the plot, and kidnapped the leader of the church in hopes of finding more information. He tracks down the party for assistance, as Sesstian Wrol has recently escaped his capture.
