The Opening

“Mayor Elsin Vale needs a problem ended before the autumn market collapses. Travelers are vanishing on the old inkroad, and the last witness swears the abandoned Saint's Toll chapel is lit at night. Go there, kill what is killing people, and make the road safe again.”

— Hook · kill

Set the Scene

The road to Saint's Toll is lined with abandoned wagons, shredded prayer ribbons, and the scent of wet ash. As the party arrives, a bell rings once from the ruined chapel even though no one stands in the tower, and a figure in the doorway raises a lantern before vanishing inside.

Rumours

d4 · table
  1. 01
    The chapel bell rings only when someone lies inside the walls.
  2. 02
    Deserters have been seen carrying sacks of salt and bird bones to the crypt at dusk.
  3. 03
    A blood trail that should have gone to the road instead ends at the graveyard gate.
  4. 04
    The old shrine stones were moved after a flood, and the ground under them never settled right.
Stakes

If the chapel remains active, the inkroad stays unsafe, Brackenford's trade suffers, and the hidden crypt threat grows stronger. If the party kills the wrong target or ignores the lower chamber, the deaths continue in a more dangerous form.

Ticking Clock·By the next market bell in two days, a supply caravan must cross the inkroad or Brackenford will run short on grain and lamp oil.

Background Lore

The old inkroad between the town of Brackenford and the upland quarries was once protected by shrines to a river saint. When the quarry closed, the road fell quiet, and a band of deserters took shelter in the ruined Saint's Toll chapel. Since then, travelers have vanished, livestock have been found mauled, and nobody agrees whether the killers are human, beast, or something both.

What the World Knows

Travelers on the old inkroad have gone missing near the abandoned Saint's Toll chapel. Mayor Elsin Vale wants the chapel cleared, the killers destroyed, and the road reopened before the autumn market. Locals whisper that deserters have taken over the ruin, but nobody knows how many are there or what they are hiding.
