The Opening

“The heavy bronze bells of Saint Olar’s Abbey have begun ringing at midnight, despite the abbey being abandoned for fifty years. Villagers claim the sound brings a chill that freezes the marrow in their bones. Mayor Halloway offers gold to anyone who can enter the ruin and silence the bells for good.”

— Hook · Dungeon Crawl

Set the Scene

The sun dips below the horizon and a heavy, unnatural fog rolls into the village square just as the first deep resonance from the hilltop chills your soul.

Halloway is nervous and sleep-deprived, constantly twisting his wedding ring as he speaks with a hushed, trembling voice.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The bells only ring when someone in the village is about to die.
  2. 02
    The Abbott was hiding a king's ransom in the basement vault.
  3. 03
    The silence between the tolls is where the ghosts actually hide.
Stakes

If the bells are not silenced, the village of Oakhaven will become a ghost town by the next new moon as its residents are harvested.

Ticking Clock·Each hour past midnight spent inside the abbey increases the strength of the hauntings and reduces light visibility.

Background Lore

Saint Olar's was once a sanctuary for those seeking peace, but fifty years ago, a mysterious sickness took the monks. It was quarantined and eventually forgotten by the crown.

What the World Knows

The Abbey is an empty ruin where mechanical failure or wind is causing the old bells to sway and ring within their rotting timber frames.
