The Opening

“The heavy fog over Oakhaven hasn't lifted for three days, and neither has the silence of Father Malachi. He was found hanging from his own bell rope this morning, but his boots are inexplicably free of the muddy floors. Someone is scrubbing the truth out of this town, and they started with the church.”

— Hook · investigation

Set the Scene

The players arrive at the cathedral square just as the morning mist begins to pull back, revealing the grim silhouette of Father Malachi hanging from the heights of the bell tower.

Stakes

If the players fail, the shadow demon will be unleashed, turning the town's population into mindless shadows and expanding the cult's influence across the region.

Ticking Clock·The ritual to summon the shadow demon is tied to the lunar eclipse occurring in 24 hours.

Background Lore

The town of Oakhaven sits atop an ancient burial site for a forgotten order of paladins who broke their vows. Father Malachi discovered that Baron Vane had begun excavating the site to retrieve a 'Soul-Binding Phylactery' to prolong his own life.

What the World Knows

Father Malachi committed suicide due to the stresses of his ministry, and Baron Vane has ordered the cathedral closed for a period of mourning.
